Location: Bungalow1926 sits in Nuwara Eliya with Horton Plains National Park, Baker's Falls, Bomburu Ella Waterfall, Galway's Land National Park, and the Japan Peace Pagoda all within reach.
Best for: Best suited to couples or small groups seeking a private, atmospheric bungalow experience with easy access to Horton Plains and the surrounding hill country.
Bungalow1926 is a characterful colonial-era property in the heart of Nuwara Eliya, offering guests exclusive use of an entire bungalow rather than a standard hotel room. The property retains period charm whilst providing practical comforts including free Wi-Fi, complimentary parking, and daily housekeeping. On cool hill country evenings — and temperatures here can drop sharply, so checking the best time to visit Nuwara Eliya is worthwhile — a fireplace makes the sitting areas genuinely inviting. Selected rooms include balconies or terraces, blackout curtains, and in-room facilities such as a refrigerator, tea and coffee maker, and bottled water. Round-the-clock room service, luggage storage, and an on-site laundry service add convenience for longer stays. Smoking is permitted only in designated outdoor areas. With a guest rating of 8.7 from 33 reviews, the property earns consistently positive feedback for its attentive service and well-maintained accommodation across its three-star category.
