Ayer's Estate Holiday Bungalow, Bope, Sri Lanka.





The story goes that this bungalow on a hillock was designed and built by a planter in the 1920s to welcome his newly-wed bride. The company which owned the estate found this extravagant and fired the plantar. The building is made of granite with timber used as floor on the upstairs. It is a beautiful building.
