The Edgware Cabana

Nuwara Eliya

Offering 1 bedroom, this spacious air-conditioned villa features 1 bathroom with a hot tub, a bidet and bathrobes. A private entrance leads guests into the villa, where they can enjoy some wine or champagne and fruits. The accommodation offers a fireplace. The Cabana was an absolutely amazing place to stay. Malinda and Stephen went above and beyond to make us comfortable and happy. Beautifully furnished and decorated accomodation, delicious food (ask Malinda to make you one of his mango lassis - absolutely devine!) and superb service. They put so much effort into creating an unforgettable experience for us at Nuwara Eliya. They also organised a driver to pick us up from the train station who ended up being our guide. Prasanna is an absolute star with lots of knowledge about the area and great recommendations for activities so you never get bored.

Our room was very big and comfortable and we had thick blankets for the colder nights. The home was like stepping back in time and it was so interesting to see the contrast of architecture, decor etc to homes in the rest of Sri Lanka. Thanks again to Asela and his family for a wonderful stay 🙏🏼
