Saffron Hill House sits in Sri Lanka's cool Uva hill country, close to Haputale town, with Haputale Railway Station 1.7 km away and Bandarawela 7.7 km. The house looks out over tea plantations and misty hills, in a quiet spot a short distance from local sights and hiking trails.
The drive from Bandaranaike International Airport is about 220 km and usually takes 5 to 5.5 hours by road, depending on traffic and the weather. Book the Colombo (CMB) Airport transfer to Saffron Hill House.
Accommodation is in rooms and suites that pair colonial character with modern comfort. Each has an en-suite bathroom and a private terrace or balcony looking out over the mountains and gardens.
There is an outdoor pool set against the hills, garden lounge areas for sitting out in the cool air, free Wi-Fi throughout and free on-site parking. The restaurant serves freshly prepared local and international dishes.
The Haputale range is good trekking country, and Adisham Bungalow, a monastery in a colonial house with gardens, and the tea-country viewpoint at Lipton's Seat are both in the area. Further afield are Diyaluma Falls, Ravana Falls, the Nine Arches Bridge at Demodara, Little Adam's Peak and Ella Rock, and Horton Plains National Park, with tea factory tours along the way.
