This small and charming hotel sits high upon the hill, overlooking a nearby village and the Oliphant Tea Factory. It's a quiet location, with stunning rooms - which is a welcome change if you're staying mostly in guest houses or big resorts. The staff goes out of their way to make sure everything is perfect, and the sounds and smells of nature were great - if you like the sound of birds chirping, this is a place for you. There's one tree with tons of them (they said 1,000 but I couldn't wrap my head around that). It's easy to drive or Tuk Tuk into town, and we got to do some additional walking by the village. Staying at Oliphant has been the accommodation highlight of our trip, and we'd easily pay well over $500 a night for an experience like this in the US. ##### Leslie Stayed 1 night in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark Mar 2, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Tranquil, beautiful, intimate and luxurious My wife and I had a most wonderful stay at The Oliphant. It's one of the rare hotels which live up to the beautiful photos you see on the official website. Location: It's not very accessible so you need to hire a driver or rent a car. But the inaccessibility is part of the charm. The Oliphant is in a restored colonial bungalow that's over a 150 years old, and in the middle of the Oliphant tea estate. Accommodation: Despite the age, the hotel was recently refurbished and very well maintained. It has all the creature comforts and amenities you would expect from a luxury boutique hotel. Service: The service is simply superb. The staff are highly attentive and personable, and make the greatest effort to ensure that your stay is comfortable. We particularly enjoyed Keshavan's warmth and his sharing of life in Sri Lanka. Keshavan's colleagues (apologies as we didn't get all their names) were also wonderful and models of excellent service. Dining: We went for the half board option and absolutely enjoyed the food. Value: The Oliphant is not cheap. But it's great value for money compared to similarly luxurious accommodation in Sri Lanka. Overall: A splendid stay. ##### Mark Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Romeo Aug 18, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ottime potenzialità con alcuni punti di migliorame Struttura molto bella ed elegante, arredamenti nuovi e molto pulita, un peccato che abbia alcuni punti di miglioramento: Riscaldamento da accendere prima dell’arrivo degli ospiti in una giornata fredda di pioggia, nessuno del personale presente all’arrivo. Cibo buono ma pessima aspirazione della cucina, odore di cibo diffuso e porte spalancate per areare aumentando ancor più il freddo, nell’ambiente elegante e di charme stonavano l’acqua in bottiglie di plastica e le marmellatine confezionate ##### Romeo Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Majdi Aug 8, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### wonderful place to spend relation time with a love it was a wonderful stay for 3 days. just beauiful remote garden where you can spend good time alone with someone you love. nothing else to do. you might need a car to be able to reach to nearby city where you can get food and wash your clothes. i would recommend to rent a car (prefebly with a driver) if you want to go to different cities in sri lanka. they have a kitchen to provide food. but prices was at least triple of any good resturant. also no washing machine which is supposed to be there in such remote area. anyway, the place is not to miss if you are visiting sri lanka. ##### Majdi Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### EMAD Jul 15, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### رائع فندق رائع جدا انصح به بشده لن تندم على الاقامه فيه ##### EMAD Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Apr 1, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### pärla!

Beautiful colonial bungalow where the service and food are excellent! Only down points are the location; it’s in the highest village and therefore the access road is not the easiest to navigate making Nuwara Eliya less accessible. Also, we were in room 2 and the noise from the rest of the bungalow was very noticeable; the phone ringing in the evening and other guests walking around the corridors. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cecilia Mar 21, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantasik pärla Fantasikt liten pärla, väldigt lugn plats mycket ren och fint , bra mat, och kanon service från personalen, hjälper till med allt, mycket bra hjälp med turer transporter.

We had a warm welcome and the staff are attentive and always there to help. The whole place is very tastefully decorated in neutral tones, with beautiful gardens. The room and bathroom is spacious and elegant. The breakfast and dinner was very good and everything is prepared fresh on site. There was a wine list but only one red wine was available and it would have been nice to have more choice. We enjoyed a 2 hour circular walk through the tea plantation behind the hotel. Thank you to Lakshman, Keseven, Mr Rathnasiri and the entire team there for making our stay a memorable one and we hope to return again! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Dec 12, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Unique but quiet experience in the hills of NE A unique boutique hotel, converted from an estate owner's bungalow, in a village that is the highest tea plantation in Sri Lanka. The property itself is really charming and the staff incredibly attentive. We did an amazing walk up into the hills behind the hotel with gorgeous views and which yielded interesting snippets of the history of the estate. It's set slightly outside Nuwara Eliya so not easy to get down to the town without transport (although I believe tuk tuks can be arranged) but so much nicer than staying in town itself. It's relatively new and not so well known yet so a little quiet but definitely worth staying and you see a more authentic side of the area and get to understand the life of the tea picker and small farm holder. Owned by a larger group, promotion will be put behind this hotel and it will start to get known. Great for travellers who appreciate a more unique and peaceful environment and don't want to go with the large groups of tourists who are herded round Sri Lanka in big tour buses. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Margaret Nov 17, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect This place is amazing, as with all lovely "boutique" hotels it's the people that make the difference, everything was lovely from the food to the beds just perfect.

A little further out of Nuwara Eliya than other hotels, however only a short tuk-tuk ride away. Signage towards the hotel could be improved slightly, as it is a little off the beaten track! The rooms were of an exceptional standard, the styling was very similar to that of a Cotswold country hotel! The staff are extremely attentive, if not slightly too eager to be on hand in the restaurant at all times! Aside from this, a truly lovely stay. ##### Charlotte Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paulygb, Derbyshire UK Aug 29, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A beautiful renovated tea estate bungalow Excellent property with exceptional staff and food ##### Paulygb Stayed 1 night in Aug 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Pushpa, Malaysia Jun 25, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nestled in the hills away from the crowd Serene peaceful cosy, a truly beautiful place.
