A tourist hotel among the tea-bushes overlooking Devon water-falls. The large upright brass object in front of the hotel is a huge replica of a water-boiler ( like a Russian Samonar) used in the tea kiosks of Ceylon of the 1950s.

Tea plantation.

Devon waterfalls.

Another hotel overlooking the Devon water-falls.
