The Tea Leaf Retreat is our home nestled on the banks of the Nilambe Oya, and situated just 40 minutes from the heart of Kandy City and just 15 minutes to the historic town of Gampola. A peaceful stop over on the way to Hatton, Nuwara Eliya and Ella, we can offer you a comfortable stay and a lovely cup of tea! Beautiful scenic views, a lovely river next to the property and peaceful village life away from the hustle and bustle of the city. We serve home-cooked Sri Lankan food and snacks for picnics or bike rides through the village. Enjoy the Oya or take a dip in our plunge pool to cool off. Transport can be provided to the city,
The property is run by our family and we enjoy having guests and a full house
A peaceful and quiet village, surrounded by beautiful scenery. Rice fields, rivers, and hills.
