The bungalow is located on the southern fringes of the tea plantation area established in the late 19th century during the colonial period. The extensive garden & grounds support a rare collection of tropical fruit trees as well as timber varieties where you will be welcome to retreat to its peaceful glades.
The property was originally constructed in the late 19th century by a Scottish tea planter, Malcolm George. He left in 1948 when the newly independent government of Ceylon nationalised the tea industry. He was paid one pound sterling for each acre of his 90 hectare estate!
