We stayed three nights in this old plantation bungalow and loved every minute. 
The bungalow is set in a beautiful well maintained garden which is teeming with birds in the mornings. The views from the verandah are stunning as are those from the many walks in the surrounding area. 
The bungalow sits at approximately 1100m which makes it really comfortable for walking,  sleeping or just sitting in the garden.
Randy is a welcoming and friendly host and the other staff equally helpful and  courteous.  We had a wide variety of Sri Lankan foods for breakfast and dinner. Freshly cooked and served exactly as you liked/ ordered.
The accommodation was very spacious and comfortable .
It is a lovely, out of the way peaceful place to which we would certainly return at a future date. We have no hesitation in recommending this bungalow to others

Lovely old fashioned plantation bungalow in a  stunning landscape .

I spent one night at Knuckles Plantation Bungalow, but oh, how I wish I’d had time to stay longer. I spent quite a bit of my time there sitting out in the verandah, relaxing, enjoying the beautiful scenery and sipping tea. If you want to chill out for a few days, this place is a must.
Randy was a great host, friendly and accommodating. The food was typically Sri Lankan, freshly cooked and absolutely delicious. The Bungalow is a typically spacious Plantation-type bungalow – very peaceful, secluded and surrounded by beautiful gardens. Being at an altitude of nearly 4000ft, the climate there was just perfect - not too hot and not too cold. The Bungalow, rooms and bathroom were very clean. 
Location-wise, it is about one and a half hours drive from Kandy. 
Next time I visit Sri Lanka, I will definitely be spending a few more days at the Knuckles Plantation Bungalow.


We stayed for 4 nights at this beautiful old tea estate bungalow and loved everything about it. It's quite an adventure getting up to the bungalow but the scenery along the way is absolutely breathtaking. 
The house belongs and is run by a wonderfully interesting fellow by the name of Randy. Being a planter of the old school he is a wealth of knowledge about all things tea and much more besides. His hospitality and warmth were faultless and the meals he prepared for us were the best we had in Sri Lanka. 
His staff - Vikrama and Jeyakumari were both lovely and very professional and their old world service made us feel like royalty. 
The rooms are all huge and the feel of the house is wonderfully atmospheric with several outstanding pieces of antique and old world furniture.
What really makes this guest house however is its unique and outstanding location.
It is set at the base of a huge rock massif, behind which lies the magnificent Knuckles range. 
The climb up is tiring but doable for most reasonably fit people taking about 2 - 3  hours up and 1.5 hours down.
For anyone wanting to experience a road less travelled this is the place for you!
Our favourate place in all Sri Lanka.

Ultimate peace and serenity

Knuckles Plantation Bungalow is an old tea estate bungalow, but unlike some similar properties it still retains plenty of period charm. This is like staying in someone's home, which I enjoyed.

The location is stunning, but fairly difficult to get to - it's not really on the way to anywhere else. It's worth the effort though. This is a relatively unexplored area with some amazing scenery.

The food was some of the best I've had in Sri Lanka, which is especially impressive in such a remote place. Overall, a very relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Homely and remote

The Property is in disrepair, tired and very run down. The double bed was so old and  lumpy that it should have been thrown out years ago and the sheets, also old and  thread bare , did not fit the mattress, so during the night you would end up sleeping on the old mattress. After a gruelling drive up a very bad road, the only thing one waited was a shower but the hot water had been turned off , so endured a cold shower until things heated up. Staff prepared English style dinner - Roast chicken (raw) with under cooked boiled vegetables and Microwaved soup. The next night, beef casserole microwave soup and  fruit. All meals were very much below satisfactory. Upon arrival they offered us a pot of tea and in the afternoon I asked for  another cup. We were a little taken aback when they charged us for it  as they way it was offered and presented it left us with the impression that it was a welcoming tea. We felt that the whole thing was a bit of a set up - below average food; unsatisfactory bed and charging of tea.The property is quaint and  has a beautiful view and  was once probably a lovely place to stay , but for the price I would look elsewhere. And  if you are planning to hike the Knuckles, not from there and the staff has no idea or will bother to assist in giving you help on getting up there.
