Welcome to Heritance Tea Factory, where the kettle is always on. Where else in the world can you stay. At 2km above sea level, the views over our lush green organic plantations as the sun mingles with the mist are truly unforgettable. Enjoy them as you tuck into high tea on the terrace or a delicious tea-themed menu in the restaurant. Retire for the night to your ‘withering loft’, high in the mountains of Nuwara Eliya; accommodation of the most unique kind is precisely what you find at Heritance Tea Factory. The expanse of the former withering loft – where fresh leaves were laid to dry, now serves as 54 cosy havens of rest for guests. Tall windows that once aided the drying process still maintain their role as providers of natural light – the views; breath-taking as ever, now have avid admirers to ponder them. The stately charms of yesteryear also linger in the dark wood and light linen décor – good nights, colonial style.
