Rating:
★★★★★
Our
August
2023
visit
to
Maskeliya
was
made
truly
memorable
by
our
stay
at
Pekoe
Lodge.
We
booked
a
one-day
stay
for
a
group
of
nine
people,
and
from
the
moment
we
arrived,
we
were
met
with
warmth
and
exceptional
service
that
continued
throughout
our
visit.
First
and
foremost,
the
staff
at
Pekoe
Lodge
deserves
a
special
mention.
They
were
incredibly
friendly
and
went
above
and
beyond
to
make
our
stay
comfortable.
It's
evident
that
the
team
genuinely
cares
about
their
guests.
Now,
let's
talk
about
the
food
–
it
was
simply
outstanding!
On
our
first
day,
we
indulged
in
the
rice
and
curry,
and
it
was
a
taste
sensation
like
no
other.
We've
traveled
extensively
in
the
Nuwara
Eliya
and
Maskeliya
areas,
but
this
rice
and
curry
truly
stood
out
for
its
flavor
and
authenticity.
For
dinner,
we
ordered
noodles,
sandwiches,
soup,
and
French
fries.
Each
dish
was
a
culinary
masterpiece.
The
flavors
were
exceptional,
and
we
were
left
wondering
how
they
managed
to
create
such
delectable
dishes.
The
following
morning,
we
enjoyed
a
Western
breakfast
that
was
equally
delightful.
Don't
miss
out
on
their
tea;
it's
a
treat
in
itself.
We
highly
recommend
opting
for
the
full
board
package
to
savor
all
their
delicious
offerings.
Ms.
Ishara,
a
member
of
the
hotel
staff,
deserves
special
praise
for
her
attentiveness
and
assistance.
She
provided
us
with
valuable
guidance
on
visiting
Gartmore
Falls
safely
and
even
arranged
three-wheelers
for
our
trip.
Her
recommendations
were
spot
on,
and
we
realized
how
challenging
it
would
have
been
to
reach
the
falls
with
our
own
vehicle.
Thanks
to
her
help,
we
had
a
fantastic
day
without
exhaustion.
The
hotel's
location
is
also
a
major
plus
point.
It's
conveniently
situated
close
to
town,
with
numerous
small
food
markets
nearby
for
your
convenience.
Additionally,
being
next
to
the
BOC
bank
makes
it
easy
to
access
cash
if
needed.
One
of
the
highlights
of
Pekoe
Lodge
is
the
breathtaking
view
from
the
common
balcony.
You
can
feast
your
eyes
on
the
majestic
mountains
and
even
catch
a
glimpse
of
Sri
Padaya.
Enjoying
evening
tea
with
this
view
is
an
experience
in
itself
–
truly
awe-inspiring.
The
hotel
also
offers
a
variety
of
board
games,
including
carom,
table
tennis,
card
games,
and
chess.
We
would
love
to
see
a
pool
table
added
to
the
mix,
as
it
would
be
a
fantastic
addition
to
the
entertainment
options.
Pekoe
Lodge
boasts
spacious
common
areas
for
relaxation,
and
the
rooms
are
clean
and
well-maintained.
We
booked
three
rooms,
and
each
was
comfortable
and
inviting.
In
conclusion,
Pekoe
Lodge
in
Maskeliya
offers
a
remarkable
experience.
With
its
exceptional
food,
friendly
staff,
convenient
location,
and
captivating
views,
it's
the
perfect
choice
for
a
memorable
stay.
We
highly
recommend
opting
for
the
full
board
package
to
make
the
most
of
your
visit.
Our
time
at
Pekoe
Lodge
was
nothing
short
of
exceptional,
and
we
look
forward
to
returning
in
the
future.
