Find peace and tranquility in this large ancestral home set in sylvan surroundings. Halgolla Plantation Home (HPH) is a paradise for lovers of nature and those seeking comfort and peace with the added bonus of unequalled Sri Lankan cuisine. Famed travel writer and beat poet Royston Ellis rated it the best Home Stay in Sri Lanka. It’s a great jumping off point for the Cultural Triangle of Sri Lanka and other parts of an island containing an unmatched combination of the wild, ancient culture, sand and sea. All three of the large airy rooms opening on the garden and central courtyard have individual bathrooms reserved for their use as well as hot and cold water. Wi-fi is free. /There are several spacious sitting areas, both inside and outside the house. HPH is a working plantation carrying cinnamon, vanilla, bananas, cloves, nutmeg, pepper, and 30+ varieties of fruit available to guests either in fresh or preserved form depending on the time of year. HPH is simply unique and a Sri Lankan destination without equal.
