Around and About

Monikered the ‘Golden Valley’ after its camellia sinensis flourishes; Bogawantalawa is deeply evocative of glistening tea gardens. Stroll the tea-blanketed hills, marveling at the sight of deft tea pluckers and witness the story behind the cup of tea, at a century-old tea factory. Take in views of doll’s house villages and bask in exotic bird life.

Watching from the Hazel Suite, your heart dances with the perfumy roses of the private garden. Tea fields shine beyond…
