A creative home in Kandy's green hills, five minutes from the Botanical Gardens, a world away from everything else.
Arriving at Hebron Gardens House
Something happens when you arrive. The weight of travel, the endless planning—somewhere between the garden gate and settling into your room, you set it down.
This place has that effect. It's quiet in the way old trees are quiet, solid in the way things built with care are solid.
The house grew slowly over the years. Room by room, piece by piece. Some things we built ourselves. Others we found and brought home. It started as a family house and became something we wanted to share, six bedrooms total, plus a three-bedroom villa in the gardens. All tucked into green hills where the air stays cool and mornings belong to birds.
Where you'll stay
Garden Suites
Six individually designed suites in the main house — each one with its own character, its own personality, its own reason to be the one you want.
No two are the same. That was the intention. Funky in spirit, considered in every detail. The furniture was built here, not bought. The spaces evolved over time rather than arriving from a catalogue.
King-size beds. Ensuite bathrooms. Air conditioning for warm afternoons, though most evenings, the hill air does that work for you. Every suite looks out onto the gardens — green, layered, and always changing with the light.
Dolce Garden Villa
The Garden Villa sits on its own within the grounds — separate from the main house, tucked into the gardens with its own entrance and its own pace. Three bedrooms, each designed with the same intention as the suites: funky, considered, nothing matching that wasn't meant to. A living room for gathering at the end of the day. A kitchenette for morning coffee before the house wakes up, or late-night tea when everyone else has gone to bed.
Private, but not isolated. The pool, the garden café, the gardens — all of it is still yours. You just have your own door to close whenever you want.
It works beautifully for families who need space to spread out, for groups of friends who want their own bedrooms but somewhere to land together, or for anyone who simply wants the feeling of a home rather than a hotel room. Three bedrooms mean three different people can sleep well, wake at their own hour, and meet in the living room when they're ready.
The villa is booked as a whole.
What Makes This Place
Creative by Nature
This isn't a place that came from a blueprint. It evolved. The furniture, the spaces, the way each room feels different, there's thought behind every corner. Pieces we made, pieces we collected, all chosen with intention.
The Garden Café
Up by the pool, there's a café space with a view that stretches across the gardens to the mountains beyond. This is where people end up. Morning coffee. Afternoon reading. Evening conversations.
Creative Studio
Bring your projects. Bring your sketchbooks. The studio is here for guests who want to make something, or just sit in a space designed for making.
The Gardens
Old trees. New plantings. Layers of green we've been building for years. Corners for reading. Paths for walking. A pool for floating.
Peace and Quiet
We're tucked into Peradeniya, where roads wind between rain trees, and the Botanical Gardens are a few minutes away. Fifteen minutes into Kandy when you need the city.
Very Fast Internet
Fibre unlimited internet throughout the property. Stream, work, or just check in when you need to. Then disconnect again.
What Guests Say
Absolutely wonderful. Beautiful property and the team went above and beyond.
The Sri Lankan breakfast was delicious. So peaceful yet close to everything.
Funky, lovely decorated rooms. The garden café view is incredible.
This was the best place we had on our stay in Sri Lanka. The rooms are modern and spacious and the garden around is beautiful. The food was fantastic and you have a fantastic view from the terrace. The staff took excellent care of us. Highly recommended.
We loved the opportunity to stay in a property so well designed for the environment. It was a perfect retreat after a long flight and a great location for visiting the gardens. The manager looked after us very well — service that truly distinguishes this place.
Absolutely dreamy stay — cannot recommend this stay more. Close to the Botanical Gardens and perfect for exploring Kandy.
An absolute gem. Facilities are clean and modern with a cozy interior. Staff went above and beyond and the food was fantastic. 10/10, would visit again anytime.
After visiting Kandy, this place feels like an oasis with a wonderful pool and stylish furnishings. Everything was possible when asked.
The setting is wonderful, but what truly elevated our stay was the excellent staff, tidy grounds and delicious food. Our stay was seamless from start to finish.
The house is lovingly designed, the food fabulous, the atmosphere warm and inviting, and the staff incredibly polite and attentive. A haven of beauty and hospitality.
This place is magical — a beautiful house set in a lush garden, peaceful despite being close to busy streets. Owners and staff went the extra mile.
Peaceful and quiet, surrounded by lush nature and close to the Botanical Gardens. Hosts were lovely and welcoming, spacious rooms and beautiful décor.

Explore Kandy
The Temple of the Sacred Tooth is fifteen minutes away, Buddhism's most sacred relic, golden caskets, and evening ceremonies. Kandy Lake circles the city centre, perfect for sunset walks.
The hill country opens up from here. Tea plantations. Ancient temples. The Kandy-to-Ella train that everyone talks about. Waterfalls. Spice gardens. Markets that smell like cardamom and fresh ginger.
But the garden café keeps calling you back. That view. That light. That particular kind of quiet.
