This beautiful colonial house was once the home of a Ceylonese nobleman. In 2013, this was converted into a six bedroomed luxury boutique hotel which uses colonial furniture to good effect, in a modern surrounding. Elephant Stables welcomes families with children and there are two Suites – Vanilla and Cottage that can accommodate two adults and two children. The gardens are particularly lush and there are fantastic views of the Knuckles Mountains in the distance yet the hotel is only 15 minutes from the centre of Kandy
