Why Stay Here
Boutique hill-country retreat with lake views
Perched above the mirror-still waters of Gregory Lake, Jetwing Broomfield Bungalow captures the quiet charm of Ceylon’s highlands.
Built more than a century ago, this colonial home has been reborn into a sanctuary of slow luxury — where every creak of timber tells a story, and mist drifts like poetry through the gardens.
“In the hills, silence has texture — and it feels like this.”
Overview / About the Property
Jetwing Broomfield Bungalow once hosted Ceylon’s colonial elite — tea planters, governors, and travellers seeking refuge in the cool highlands.
Today, it has been restored with grace: old fireplaces glow beneath handwoven blankets, and rose gardens spill over with dew and nostalgia.
Sithiyam Insider: “Here, time doesn’t stop — it simply slows to the rhythm of tea steam.”
With panoramic views of Gregory Lake, the bungalow is a private six-room retreat — a place to read, wander, and remember.
Why Stay Here
- Boutique six-room colonial villa
- Serene lake and garden views
- Personalised service and private dining
- Ideal base for tea trails and heritage tours
- Perfect blend of nostalgia and refinement
Sithiyam Insider: “If luxury had a scent, it would be mist and rosewood.”
Accommodation & Rooms
Each of the six rooms carries a name, a view, and a story:
mahogany floors, four-poster beds, and fireplaces that light up misty evenings.
- Master Suite (Lake View) — The most coveted room; high ceilings, antique furniture, and bath with garden views.
- Deluxe Rooms — Elegant, warm, and timeless; perfect for couples or families.
- Heritage Rooms — Intimate quarters for writers, solo travellers, or honeymooners seeking quiet charm.
Pro Tip: Ask for the Master Suite — the view of Gregory Lake at dawn is reason enough to linger another night.

Spa & Wellness
There is no formal spa — only serenity.
Ayurvedic massages can be arranged in-room or outdoors, and the crisp mountain air itself is the finest tonic.
Pro Tip: Begin your day with a walk through tea trails before breakfast — the scent of eucalyptus will follow you all morning.
