Eastland Bungalow, built in 1924 was first occupied by British planters who introduced tea as a commercial plantation to Sri Lanka in 1867. The bungalow has had many residents and many owners since then, until it was acquired by Clement Isack in 2006, with the aim of converting it into a holiday home and eventually his retirement home. With retirement a few years away, the bungalow is now rented o

ut for short breaks to a carefully selected blend of contacts and friends from all over the world. This is not a commercial venture, but purely a destination to give the weary mind a break from the stress of everyday life. We have a chef, butler, gardener and a manager who will take care of all your needs and ensure you experience the best of Sri Lankan hospitality - the hill country style. Whether its for a weekend or a month, there is enough to explore starting from a visit to the tea factory, all the way to trekking in the mountains connecting Kandy to Nuwaraeliya. The hamlet of Hewaheta is a sleepy little town, and life has not changed much in the last 50 years, and offers the visitor a look at the cycle of life followed by the natives during the time when the country took on the British for Independence.
