The living room invites everyone to gather in for friendly chats and lazy naps.

What a grand place to stay. Overlooking Gregory Lake, the house had an equestrian theme, with an impressive array of winning trophies, statues and antiques. My room, the Natalma Suite (Blue room), was possibly the prettiest room I have ever stayed in. The staff were friendly and professional and the food prepared by chef absolutely delicious, both the Sri Lankan classics and modern European dishes we tasted. We also had the opportunity to visit the Royal Turf club to see the magnificent trophy winning horses and meet the acclaimed jockey and trainer S.D Mahesh. A very special experience.

From the moment we arrived, the Hill Rise team treated us like royalty. We were warmly welcomed with freshly baked ginger cookies and tea, setting the tone for a truly exceptional stay.
Every meal was outstanding — bursting with flavour, beautifully presented, and served in generous portions that made every dining experience memorable.
The bedrooms were incredibly comfortable, ensuring deep, peaceful sleep in the cool Nuwara Eliya air.
The property’s refined horse-themed décor gives Hill Rise a wonderful sense of character and charm, perfectly complementing its location near the Royal Turf Club. The view over Lake Gregory is simply breathtaking — a tranquil backdrop to the living area.
A highlight of our stay was being invited to tour the owner’s stables at the Royal Turf Club, where we had the privilege of meeting S.D. Mahesh and his magnificent horses. It was a rare and special experience that truly reflected the gracious hospitality of Hill Rise.
In every way, our stay was unforgettable — an elegant blend of warmth, comfort, and old-world charm.

We spent our honeymoon at this exquisite bungalow in Nuwara Eliya and it was magical. The service, led by Mr. Kumar and Dennis, was exceptional, exceeding all our expectations. The bungalow’s elegant interiors and breathtaking views of Gregory Lake created a perfect romantic retreat. Every meal was a culinary delight, served with impeccable care. We loved exploring the charming surroundings of Nuwara Eliya, which added to our memorable experience.
For a luxurious, romantic getaway with unparalleled service and stunning views, this bungalow is perfect. We left with unforgettable memories and look forward to returning. Highly recommended!
Further It was my birthday and the manger mr. Kumar had found out and bought a cake from grand hotel and surprised us with it. Really love the care they take to ensure their guest are happy
