Hotel Calliandra, Sri Lanka

Calliandra Bungalow is situated 1,200 metres up in the tea district of Uva at Poonagala, just west of Bandarawela. The Bungalow is over 100 years old, built by an intrepid Scottish tea planter, who wanted to recreate a home away from home. Bandarawela is a five hour drive from the capital Colombo.
