Holiday rentals with breakfast in Haputale

When you arrive there you feel top of the world. Literally the clouds coming in now and then gives you a heavenly feeling. Very beautiful location and surroundings. The privacy it gives you just feel at home. This is an old building set in a quiet village in the hills of Nuwara Eliya. One might feel somewhat remote, but this is the actual holiday home one desires to spend some own peaceful moment at. But some refurbishment in the kitchen would make it just perfect destination itself. The owner and caretaker/ manager were very responsive. Thanks to all. Would definitely recommend this property when you are a big group.

What an amazing place, in a beautiful area of the island. From the moment we drew up to the gates of the Dutch House, we were greeted by the most gorgeous Dutch villa, and the all-pervasive smile of Kannan, who looked after us like members of the family during our stay. The house sits high on the hills outside of Bandarawela, up a short, but very steep road, which gives it a great vantage point over the surrounding lush hills and mountains. It’s a great climate so a gin and tonic on the veranda was a joy. We made use of the pool, and although not heated, you soon get used to it. The surrounding gardens are very well kept and have a plethora of birds and other wildlife. The food prepared by the on site chef was wonderful, as was the attentive service from Kannan. We also had the best sleep we've had during our trip. Even if you’re not in the immediate area, a drive here and a stay in this wonderful house, will surely be one of the highlights of any trip. It was for ours.

Wonderful villa. Lovely views and very good amenities. The hosts were very gracious and took care of all our requirements. The food was very well prepared. Great stay overall.

It was a great deal for us . Easy to find location . Keells , dominoes n pizza hut all near . Gregory lake just walking distance . Staff members Halen n Shrikantha so so helpful throughout our stay. Breakfast was so yummy n neatly arranged . This bungalow is like home away home ... outdoor just awesome ... perfect for peace n nature lovers... will surely visit again. We loved the beds so comfy n clean n i 100% recommend this bungalow.

Awesome views awesome staff, food was amazing too, internet was a bit shit

This was an amazing stay! I wish I stayed longer. The owners Asith and his wife have made a lovely piece of heaven in the mountains. The property and it's surrounding are a dream! The hosts are kind and made us a top notch breakfast. On top of that they are so accommodating and super hard working. There are some considerations when people choose to book, if you're bringing a mini van it's a bit tricky, but the owners make it work! But just keep in mind roads are narrow. They provide their tuk tuk to help as well.

Communication was great before & during our stay. Our time here was excellent. Magnificent views, comfortable living. Comfortable beds. Rooftop breakfasts a great way to start the day. Shan & JP were super helpful with recommendations and advice for Ella. Also arranged transport for us to local sites and offered to arrange our transfer to our next destination if we needed.

The property was absolutely worth the price—clean, spacious, and well-equipped with all amenities. Amal (if I’ve spelled it right) assisted us really well throughout our stay. Just two small suggestions: the door in the bedroom behind the TV needs a bit of repair, and it would be great to add a sunlight-blocking curtain for that room’s balcony, as the morning sun was quite strong. Other than that, everything was excellent. Thanks for a great stay!

The trip was family friendly. We looked at the photos, very beautiful scenery. Expectations were met. The house is at an altitude, very beautiful view, in the morning the fog is enveloping the mountains, just super! The host is available to help you with any questions you need. We were met in the house by the manager, located, called transport for a trip to the city. There is a fireplace in the house, in the evening you can sit by the fireplace for a pleasant pastime. The rooms are clean, there is everything you need, hot water. We were fed breakfast in the morning. The house has a beautiful greenhouse. The dining table is with a view! We liked everything. We recommend if you are in Nuwara Eliya to make a stop in this house.

Thank you Nimantha for taking us in! This Airbnb apartment is not usually booked trough Airbnb, so I recommend contacting The hostel trough other services. I asked Nimantha to deactive his account.

Lovely place, just next to Ella city approx 800m away. Near train tracks but it’s not at all disturbing. They were amazing host. They picked us up far away from our location and also helped us in dropping at Colombo International airport. Always recommend others to check on this property as everything is very nearby

Poorna's villa was beautiful. It was spacious, clean and with all basic amenties. Host was extremely friendly, and extended help in whatever we requested for , instance arranged laundry services etc. Breakfast spread was decent with coconut roti, breads, egg, juices, fruits, coffee/ tea. Poorna's wife also showed us how they make Srilankan rotis. Overall fantastic stay and highly recommend family with kids.

Very nice place. The room as in the photos, in front of the room hammocks and sun loungers, you can relax looking at the beautiful mountains. Ishari and her son Vaneesah are lovely, they are happy to tell you what to see. Vaneesaha picked us up from the station, gave us a great tour of Ella the next day, a day later he drove us to Udawalawe for a Safari, which he also arranged for us. Delicious breakfasts, great communication, and the best front desk guy-pee Bruno ❤️

Super warm welcome. 🥰 We arrived a little earlier than planned and so our room was not yet ready for occupancy. However, it took less than 10 minutes and it was ready and we got tea & coffee to welcome you. We have been given some options that we can visit. Every morning there was incredibly delicious breakfast and enjoyed a great view. Great 3 nights we were allowed to spend. Thanks for that! 🥰

Fantastic view and friendly staff! We enjoy walking so the location was great for us, and it’s easy to take a tuk tuk if needed. The area is a bit noisy, there was construction going on during the day but we didn’t find it bothersome in the evenings so we could get rest. The breakfast is good, with fresh fruit and the omelette it was what we needed.

Thank you for such a beautiful stay in Ella. From the moment you picked us up everything was perfect. We loved staying at the Solitary retreat and wish we could have stayed longer. Dileepa was so attentive, sharing local recommendations and providing the most delicious breakfast. We would love to come back one day.

This was an amazing stay! The views from the rooms are superb, really beautiful. The room is very comfortable and good size, with a lovely balcony. The homecooked breakfast was amazing, very tasty and big portion. The location is perfect as it is a short 10 min walk into Ella but it is away from the busyness so very quiet and peaceful. Lilu is a great host. Very welcoming and friendly, with a lovely family. She was very helpful, even providing us with a pack up breakfast for our very early departure! Would definitely recommend and would stay here again!

Our best find in Sri Lanka. Hosts, Michael & Ruwanthi are so friendly & helpful, going out of their way to make sure we had a truly wonderful time. Glyn Myu is beautiful, luxurious & very comfortable. The location is quite simply breathtaking. Ruwanthi is an incredibly talented cook serving exquisite meals with most ingredients gathered from her extensive garden. Her knowledge of the dietary & medicinal properties of her homegrown larder is very impressive. She is also delighted to share her passion & knowledge. A Sri Lankan gem where we felt welcome, relaxed & immediately at home. They have a very informative website with contact details!

lovely guest house in the hills, very peaceful away from the main town, and great breakfast!

A place in the middle of the jungle, the location is perfect – secluded and quiet, but still in just 20 minutes in the center. However, the host also arranges tuk tuk rides or scooters. Hardly any mosquitoes, which makes the stay even more pleasant. Breakfast was delicious, but the absolute highlight was dinner! We looked forward to it every day – prepared with a lot of love, excellent taste and simply a pleasure. It was also always a pleasure to chat with the host and get exciting insights.
