The Best Places to Visit Near Clover Cottage

Nuwara Eliya rewards slow exploration, and Clover Cottage puts you within easy reach of its best corners. Here's where to point the car. ## Gregory Lake (~7 km) The heart of Nuwara Eliya's outdoor life. Rent a swan boat, walk the lakeside path, or just sit with a cup of tea and watch the mist lift off the water. Best in the morning before the crowds. ## Hakgala Botanical Garden (13 km) Terraced gardens climbing the hillside, roses, orchids and old-growth trees, with valley views the whole way up. Give yourself a couple of hours. ## Tea country (all around) The slopes around the villa are stitched with tea. A short drive brings you to working estates where you can watch plucking and taste a fresh brew straight from the hills. ## The town centre (4.4 km) Colonial-era post office, the racecourse, little cafés and the local market for fruit and flowers. An easy afternoon on foot. Back at Clover Cottage, the garden, the games room and the BBQ are waiting — the best part of any day out is coming home to the whole villa being yours. _Planning your trip?_ [Check availability and book direct](/booking) for the best rate.
