Historic 1860 British Coffee Planter's Manor
It all began in 1867, when a British coffee planter built his grand manor amidst the emerald hills of Kandy, a place where mist caressed the slopes and the aroma of the coffee blossom filled the air. This residence stood as a symbol of Ceylon’s golden coffee era, a time when the land’s charm captivated those who sought both fortune and solace. More than a century later, destiny called upon the manor once again this time through the vision of Mr. Thusitha Paranagama, a son of a ancient kandyan family. Moved by deep love and respect for his late father, Mr. Gilbert Paranagama, Thusitha embarked on a heartfelt journey to breathe new life into this historic treasure. His dream was not merely to restore a home but to honor a legacy to preserve the soul of Kandy’s past while crafting a sanctuary for classic travelers seeking grace, peace, and meaning. With masterful guidance from renowned architect Channa Daswatte, the manor was gently reborn, its colonial charm preserved, its spirit renewed. Today, Coffee Bungalow Kandy stands as a Timeless Classic, where history whispers through every archway and love between a father and son, between the past and the present, continues to shape the story of this remarkable bungalow
