Nestled in the golden-green arms of Nuwara Eliya hills, an approximately 5 hours’ drive from the commercial hub of Colombo, ‘Oatlands by Jetwing’ is luxurious-upcountry-living-reimagined, for the stylish traveller.
A lovely reminder of the highland station’s colonial past, this bungalow in Nuwara Eliya breathes life to vintage décor and architecture, alongside a cosy, home-spun character. Sitting atop a quiet hill, 4 mountain-view bed chambers welcome the elegance-loving traveller on a wispy vacay.
Clad in nostalgic colonial designs, the bed rooms at this restored vintage retreat highlight a contemporary take on old estate comforts; with individual heating units replacing former firesides. Each mountain-view room is appointed with plush sofas, where guests unwind with a cuppa, in true aristocratic planter fashion. A common living area with bespoke furnishings cosily invites one, on a breezy day.
Whether it’s a dreamy English breakfast in the timber-floored, floral-curtained dining room or an exotic Ceylonese lunch in the wind-woven gardens, dining at this colonial holiday bungalow is defined by timeless upcountry hospitality. The in-house chef is at the ready to whip up delicacies to complement the diner’s taste buds.
Once the home-away-from-home for the British colonizers, echoes of its former life can still be found in Nuwara Eliya. Aptly monikered ‘ Little England’, this sleepy highland station conjures up endless vistas of misty mountains dotted with meandering streams, breezy strawberry patches, tea gardens winding up hilly paths and vintage-fashion cottages. The Hakgala Botanical Gardens, Devon Falls, Victoria Park, Lake Gregory and Galway’s Land National Park are some attractions to enjoy.
