“World class food and service, beautiful location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012

Ecolanka is set in a converted tea estate, which is now an organic bio-diverse farm and ecotourism venture. It is located in a small village in the Sri Lankan Hill Country in a beautiful location between rice paddies, tea plantations, waterfalls etc. The food, which is plentiful and served three times a day, is first-class. The ingredients, many of which we had never seen before, are grown on the organic farm on the property. The staff show you how the treacle and tea are prepared and which trees the various unfamiliar fruits and vegetables come from. Thomas took us on a guided walk to show us around the property and the surrounding village and taught us about the area. The staff are constantly around and looking to help offer walking suggestions, guided walks, drinks etc. It's extremely peaceful sitting on the veranda reading a book, and the people living in the surrounding villages are very friendly when you meet them on a walk.

“Beautiful estate, service beyond compare”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 December 2010

We arrived at the Maussawa Estate with no expectations - a few quiet days to read a book and eat quality organic vegetarian food and not much else. What we found were incredible local staff who were very happy for us to do just that, but also offered guided walks of the whole stunning area as part of the experience, personalised care and also gave us quite deep insight into both village life and the unique biodiversity of the area. We ate incredibly well, slept in a very clean room in the beautiful old rambling house and got to know the special individuals who were so focused on us having a rewarding experience and a positive impression of Sri Lanka. We only regret that we forgot to purchase some of the organic tea and treacle produced on site- hopefully they will be able to ship some to Australia!...we really hope to return one day. a perfect place for anyone wanting a truly relaxing break in lush, peaceful surrounds.
