This century-old colonial style plantation bungalow and the surrounding Aislaby Tea Estate is steeped in history and owned by the only remaining British planting family in Sri Lanka. The Bostocks arrived in Ceylon in 1884 and owned the estate since the early 1920s. Claire Bostock, daughter of the original owner, Norman Bostock, still manages this family guest house and ensures that high standards are maintained. !!

ActivitiesActivities Bostock Seat
You can plan your walk around the estate roads or get off the beaten track and head for the gum tree clearing. Whether it is a 30 minute leg stretch to "Bostocks seat" or a rigorous hour and a half through some of the best tea in the world culminating with a steep climb to the top of the "patna" to check out the most spectacluar 360° view. Should you need some advise on the best walks, just speak with the Estate Manager.
Tours of the Aislaby tea factory can be arranged so you can witness the complete process of tea manufacture.
A quite game of croquet on the lawn before afternoon tea on the verandah, or for the more energetic a hectic game of "short tennis" made all the more tricky with the slope of the lawns.

Visitors Most Rated Property of the Sri Lanka ..
The most picturesque in the world. Soft sound of waves lapping in to the beach, endless strip of white sandy beaches.
Sri Lanka's famous historical sites have become the staple of many a travel programme - Sigiriya.
The Sri Lankan highlands enhance the country's richly-varied landscape. Only a few hours from the coast, here is a land of rushing waterfalls.
