Comprises of 9 rooms each with a private attached bathroom. Rooms are spacious and have cable TV.Free wifi enables you to keep in touch with family and friends. Rooms are sold on a bed & breakfast basis.

Rooms do not have AC but this is normal in Nuwara Eliya because the weather here is a lot colder than other parts of Sri Lanka, especially in June, July and August.

In April it is festival time and there are many competitions to enjoy. Boat racing on the lake, golf tournaments and horse racing are popular. It is the time of year when school has finished,  and foreigners and locals come together to enjoy the festivities. Everything has an English air about it from the marques selling cupcakes to other stalls selling sweets and toffees.

There are many good restaurants to try too. There is the Grand Indian in the Grand Hotel, and at the Hill Club gentlemen are required to wear jacket and tie. English protocol demands it. However if pizza is your passion, go no further than Samiyra Restuarant. It is only a hut like structure but the pizzas are fabulous.

The Pello Lake Resort is a good clean hotel or as another guest remarked  – “Convenience, Service, Value For Money”.

There is plenty of car parking space in front of the hotel.
