This unique tea estate bungalow on Aislaby Estate and Farm is still owned by the only remaining British planting family in Sri Lanka. The family arrived in Ceylon in 1884 and the estate has been in the family since the early 1920's.
Set in the cooler climate of the hill country, Kirchhayn provides a wonderful retreat from the heat of the low country. Drive through picture postcard manicured tea to reach this traditional planter's colonial house set in 8 acres of gardens and surrounded by 42 acres of premium quality tea.
The house has been lovingly restored by the family of the original owners of the estate and is set in a stunningly beautiful garden and surrounded by tea. The house has been crafted to give maximum comfort after a hard day on the estate and has stunning views over the surrounding area.
Kirchhayn Bungalow can be rented as a whole or by the room and is ideal
as a retreat from the heat of the south or from the chaos of the roads
if you are traveling the country.
Comments from the Guest Book
"An idyllic and tranquil spot. The highest quality food and perfect
service. Thank you. Also for the walks and for the garden.... we want
to take it with us! I wish our itinerary allowed us to stay longer."
This bungalow is extraordinarily evocative of the old way of life
of the British planting days. The style, the service, the gardens, even
the bathrooms - magical. Thanks to the Bostocks for preserving this wonderful
gem."
