Location

The Castlereagh Valley, near Dickoya, stands out for its absorbing scenery – an arresting panorama of rich greens and blues. At its heart is a mirror-still reservoir dotted with islands that floods seven kilometers of a long, deep valley. Flanking Castlereagh Reservoir on either side are steeply rising hills sporting acres of neatly manicured tea estates topped by thick manes of trees. Whether the sun is shining in a cornflower blue sky or the clouds are descending into the mountains en masse, the views from the bungalow are always dramatic.

WHY WE LIKE THIS HOTEL

Castlereagh Reservoir is a mesmerising island-dotted lake surrounded by steeply rising hills planted with impossibly neat rows of vivid green tea, around 18-kilometres from the market town of Hatton. Hidden in amongst this emerald jaw-dropping scenery are century-old tea factories, gushing waterfalls, colonial-era churches and colourful Hindu shrines. There are just five very individual timber-floored bedrooms at Camellia Hills. Each gaze through picture windows over the Castlereagh Reservoir or the lush surrounding hills. Bedrooms are all distinct in design and layout yet equally comfortable and luxurious. The cosiest are the two Lakeview Suites while the Lakeview Bedroom boasts far-reaching views of the entire Castlereagh Valley from private furnished garden terraces. The twin-bedded Camellia Bedroom and Lakeview Family Suite looks over the mountains and tea valleys of Dickoya and is ideal for a family with children or friends. Bedrooms are usually booked individually; however, The boutique holiday bungalow in Hatton is small enough for groups and families requiring privacy to take the whole house for themselves on an exclusive basis too.
