Craig Appin , Strathdon and Mandira Dick Oya luxury bungalows in Hatton, managed by Zinc Journey Sri Lanka are experiencing high forward bookings for the upcoming holiday season from both local and foreign clientele. These three bungalows would have an 80 % occupancy rate during the period December to January.

“The three properties are ideal gateways for honeymooners and discerning travellers, both home and aboard,” said Mandira Bungalows, General Manager Kingsley Liyanage.

Liyanage added that the two properties, Craig Appin and Dick Oya Bungalows have already being completed after a major refurbishment while Strathdon would be ready by mid December. The group invested Rs. 60 million to refurbish the three bungalows in Hatton, helping to covert the three properties as up market boutique lodges.

“Today, the three properties are installed with the best of modern luxury facilities which is one of the main attractions of the properties.” Liyanage acknowledged. Each bungalow offers four large bedrooms lavishly furnished in colonial style reminiscing the colonial era. There is a spacious dining room where meals are served, a cozy living room to relax in and an entertainment room with TV, video and board games too, to add more value to the three bungalows.

The main attraction at these bungalows is the tea plantations which have been around from the British colonial era. The bungalows replicate British dignity in its grand furnishing and exquisite taste.

The Nuwara Eliya Golf Course, the holy mountain of Adam’s Peak, Horton Plains, Castlereigh and Maskeliya reservoirs, Devon and St. Claire’s waterfalls are all in close proximity to Hatton. The Mandira Dick Oya Bungalow is the best choice of stay for travellers wanting to visit Adams Peak.

Guests at the Mandira Dick Oya bungalow also have the opportunity to enjoy true Sri Lankan style plantation cooking. The menu offers a wide range of western and eastern dishes too, giving the guest the best of both worlds.

Liyanage, who has over 35 years of experience in both, the local and international leisure industry said that the punctual long distance train service to Hatton has also made traveling more relaxed and they have picked up service from the station and back. He also said that Zinc Journey had obtained a long term lease of the bungalows last year and the refurbishment drive was in keeping with their global vision to provide high end boutique lodges.
