The Lavender House by Reveal

Wow I really dont know where to begin! The place is truly breathtaking, the staff are unbelievable. I stay in Sri Lanka every year with work and I have to say I was concerned I would not have wifi and be able to relax enough to catch up with vital business. Proved wrong on every level. The staff also upgraded me as they needed to do some small repairs on my room so I ended up in the new 3 bed cottage, massive, spotless and amazing for anyone. The food is one of the best I have ever tasted, the presentation is something else and the way the chef uses local produce and herbs is on another level. Saman and his team really deserve praise for the way they manage the property, deal with guests and go out of the way to accommodate you. We had an amazing evening of hot plate cooking and it was such good fun. Of course I cant go without mentioning Hashan who was assigned to us, this man is the most attentive, kindest and professional hotel staff member I have ever met! I travel all over the world and I can truly say this is the only place I would return to. Anyone should consider their wedding here, truly would be spectacular. See you in January 2026!

The Lavender House was a fabulous place to stay set in amongst a tea plantation. It's a renovated colonial planters bungalow, and the rooms are very spacious and comfortable. Very quiet, very secluded with amazing views and gardens! Mr. Saman and his team were fantastic and provided very attentive personal service catering to any requests. The food was very good, with a varied menu perfect for extended stays. The access road is a bit bumpy, but well worth it for the views and quiet and they can arrange a tuk tuk if required. Definitely stay.

Truly a calming, serene experience . Kudos to Nayanajith the Resort Manager and the Executive Chef for curating a truly personalized experience. Loved every bit of our stay! This is a must go location for anyone who loves nature. The service was superb and the food was delicious.

The Lavendar House is a lovely old estate bungalow , the old Hellebode Estate’s Superintendent’s Bungalow I believe, that has had a sympathetic renovation and is open to the discerning public by the Reveal Organisation. It’s always a good start when you get upgraded to the master suite and that’s what happened,to us here. The rooms, the ambiance, the service, the food was all top class and you could walk for miles through the tea estate. We had a fantastic time thanks to Nayanajith and his staff and their excellent hospitality. Nayanajith offered us the Lavender Hoyse Tuk-Tuk to take us to the Hellbodde tea factory but we declined given we had had a few of these before. If you e never been before it’s a great experience. Lavendar House gets our seal of approval 🥹

What an excellent experience! We stayed at The Lavender House for 1 night, and wished we could have stayed for longer. You still get the Staffs' undivided attention. The Staff are incredibly professional, friendly and can not do enough to help you. The Chefs were outstanding - the menu caters for Western tastes, however if you ask him to cook locally he can let his colours shine and produce some exceptionally tasty curries and condiments if you can handle the spice. The setting of The Lavender House is in the middle of a tea plantation estate, nestled with a stunning vista gazing straight down the mountainsides. The pictures displayed really are exactly what you can expect to get. As expected accommodation is modern, clean, tidy and full of personal touches. You will be spoil for choices of where you can dine (in your house/private terrace/communal terrace/inside). The history of Lavender House is very interesting, it was built by a Scottish tea plantation owner in the 1800s. There is still a preserved square of wall where guests from 1860 - 1940s would have their hight marked and sign their name as a memento. Simon & Tamara.

Great location with a marvelous view. Very hospitable service with comfortable spacious rooms. We did like the experience of cooking the dinner on hot stones. Highly recommend this place to those who are willing to escape from big cities rush and stress.
