Oatlands by Jetwing

We had an amazing experience. Great saty. Rooms are super clean. Food is unbelievably tasty. Chasindu is very friendly, helpful and he is very efficient. Highly recommend this place. Thank you Jetwing group for this experience. Keep up the good work.

The place is dated and doesnt smell great. Toilet seats were broken, rooms were musty, The WiFi wasn't working (can connect to wifi but does not have internet). We were informed that it should work but it never did. We had issues with hot water. You might get hot water if you are lucky.. The place is not worth the money. All the rooms were occupied but only one staff member. He was doing his best but it isnt fair to ask for one staff member to cover the needs of all occupents. I personally wouldn't recommend

The property is located behind the st Andrew’s and if you have a car, it is not easy to reach to the top. Greeted by Jeewantha and Shashmika at check in and was shown to the room directly, Jeewantha even walked me to the St Andrew’s showing me where the breakfast venue was (yes they don’t have an on-site kitchen but you can order in room dining for dinner). Breakfast was great and Shashmika was so kind in walking me there, waited I finished and walked me back. Room is decorated like the old English grandma house styles but everything is in function. It’s just that they sprayed too much air refresher which triggered runny nose all night. Room is equipped with a heater just in case if it’s too cold at night. Also you need to wait for a good 5 minutes before having a hot shower. FYI they only have 4 rooms at the Outland and the st Andrew’s are currently under renovation I gave it a 4/5 was because I’ve had 2 very noisy neighbours- the babies started crying from 6am.. the soundproof was extremely poor

Our experience of this villa proved services was disappointingly below our expectations, especially considering the premium price of our accommodation. Upon arrival, we encountered delays in accessing basic hot water in the bathrooms, despite being informed by staff that it would be available after a short wait this wasn’t the case. Additionally, we noticed unpleasant odors upon entering the premises, coming from both the carpets and bathrooms. Furthermore, we found that the heating systems were not functioning properly. We raised the issues with staff and were offered two rooms at neighboring hotel, St Andrews, however facing an inability to contact the property manager they couldn’t follow through, forcing us in to the position of having to spend time chasing the property manager. As a result, our plans for the day were disrupted, and valuable time was wasted, limiting our activities to dinner and retiring for the evening. I hope the villa can address these issues going forward as other considerations location/food offers could make this an positively memorable experience.

The staff Jeewantha and Shashmika attended to all of our needs and made it a pleasant and a comfortable stay. Place is well kept both inside and out. The location is very close to the town and a lot of attractions. St Andrews is the main hotel and its short walk away.

Exceptional service from our host Jeewantha who fed the wood fire at night in the lounge, answered all our questions, made sure we were well fed and very comfortable in this beautiful, timeless get away. Much nicer than staying in the big hotel, we had personalised service and beautiful accommodation. Easy walk into town for amenities and short tuk tuk rides to the hiking starting points. We had a day and a half and took in a stroll through town to see the old buildings of the Police Station and the Post Office before a drink at the Golf Club. The second day, we hiked to Lovers Leap, descended through the Pedro tea workers housing estate towards Gregory’s Lake. Got distracted and headed to Hill Club for tea on the lawn.

Enjoy the charm of a bungalow with jetwing hospitality. This is a five room Bungalow right behind St. Andrew where you can Acess all amenities of St. Andrew’s whilst enjoying the peace and relaxation of a holiday home away from home. Brilliant hospitality from Jeevantha .

We stayed 2 nights in NE at Oatlands. Oatlands is a former cottage attached to the bigger St Andrews Hotel that has bigger tour groups and families so is perfect for couples, though both are on the edge of town. The cottage has a butler who can organise drinks, dinner and even early morning take away breakfasts for tours to Hortons Plain. The rooms can be cold (NE is a cold town) but have good heaters and warm up very quickly. They are in need of some TLC as is the bigger sister hotel, but wasn't the traditional colonial bungalow experience we had hoped for. Without our very helpful butler would have been an average experience. We had afternoon tea at The Grand Hotel which was very pleasant and would have loved to have been there in April for the horse racing at the Turf Club

This enchanting place well exceeded our expectations. It has a special kind of serenity which cannot be found on a larger hotel. Whole place is clean and tidy. Lunch is served at the premises and was lovely. Special thanks to the butler Mr. Sanath who is a very nice person and always trying to make the stay a pleasant experience . Special note to Bird watchers ; the place is teaming with wonderful birds specially Yellow eared bulbul , Cinerous tit , Grey headed Canary fly catcher and indian Blue robin etc.
