    2-night stay at a working plantation. Rooms furnished with the original (?) 1930s furniture. Excellent meals and attentive staff. Good tour of the tea plantation guided by their manager. Good opportunity for a hike to the lake. Nice swimming pool....

We are the proud managers of Ashburnham Estate. It is a beautiful place to work and with just 6 bedrooms it is like a home from home for many guests. It is a great place for exploring the tea plantations, the waterfall or into the mountains.
Hello, our names are Pieter and Gonnie and we are the managers at Ashburnham Estate Hotel. We arrived in October and fell in love with the place, the people and the incredible views.
We are conveniently located to run day trips either down to Kandy or up to the cultural triangle. Closer to home we organise bike rides through the local villages or walking in the Knuckles Mountains directly from Ash.
