Great, very quiet location. Fantastic value for money. Newly renovated room with a large, comfy bed. Balcony with a lovely green outlook, in- and outdoor chairs. Very clean, neat linen. There is a shortcut via a set of stairs that leads to the main road above, from where you can join the locals to walk on the rail road tracks into town (15Min walk in total). The top of the stairs is also a great spot to watch the sunset over the valleys. Good free brekkie, served in the common room. A lovely couple runs this 8 room place - thank you for a very relaxing stay

Nothing - more time to stay longer and explore region

Amazing views across the tea country once you arrive to private location up winding drive. Close to town for exploring shops, restaurants and train. Super hostess provided healthy breakfast. Excellent value, balconey seating and spacious room. Fully recommended.

Beautiful view from the rooms, flowers in the garden, nice clean room and bathroom. Delicious home cooked dinner and breakfast. Host ( Sam) also helped with sightseeing advice and arranged very reasonably priced tuk tuk to Lipton’s seat

Some facilities were overused and need a repair.

It was a good stay. I had a great experience. Location was good, food was good, overall experience was better than some places.

This was our 5th stay here. Everything was perfect and great value for the price. The previous shower issue has also been fixed. Plus, it has a very beautiful, mind-healing garden. The breakfast is also very good. It's become our default stay in Haputale. And Haputale itself is a nice, small town with cool weather, a calm environment, good food, and beautiful destinations nearby

I had a wonderful 2-night stay at this guest house. Honestly, it was worth much more than the price I paid. The room was clean and comfortable, and the service exceeded my expectations. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. I had an urgent last-minute booking, and the owner went out of their way to arrange a room for me the same day — which I truly appreciated. They also assisted with booking taxis and organizing my travel plans, making everything so much easier. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great value and warm hospitality!

Well run gueshouse, very kind family. Nice big room to space out and dry things, hot shower, breakfast good. Short distance to town centre. Perfect for Pekoe Trail hikers. We enjoyed our stay here.

Stayed in April 2025

Its location close to the end of stage 12 of the Pekoe Trail is an advantage. Add to that a nice room, an accommodating host and a reasonable price and you have a winning formula for discerning hikers.

nothing xx

the location is wonderful with a shortcut to walk into town. it's a lovely wee neighbourhood to explore on foot, very pretty, great views and lots of places for a drink or food up the steps on the road which is a ridge, also with fab views. the guesthouse is very comfortable, lovely garden and more views. we ate there twice and the food is very good. we did 4 trips altogether over the 4 days and loved every one, even with the 5am start on 2 days. the town is quite small so not at all hectic and the location is fabulous. we were told a few times that haputale is better than ella and i would say, now we are in ella, that is correct. the spectacular views and number of amazing trips you can make from haputale makes it an exceptional destination. thank you so much to amarasingh!!

Restaurant choice in town is limited.

We really enjoyed our stay there. The owner is really helpful and can set you up for touring the surrounding area. It's a little outside of downtown but ask about the shortcut and getting around becomes much easier. A stream flows by the property to send you to sleep and the porch view from the rooms is really something.

Maybe a bit far from town - but what are your legs for?

Sam, the host, is helpful, informative and well respected in the area. Rooms are clean, beds comfortable, shower hot and there is a great view from the balcony. Breakfast is excellent and there is a nice area with books to hang out in downstairs. What more do you want?

Stayed in February 2025

Short walk to get to restaurants and bus stops etc but that didn't bother us.

Lovely quiet spot with nice sized rooms, well equipped with places for bags and to hang things, comfortable bed and nice balcony. Decent breakfast for good price and helpful local recommendations from the lovely host.

The owner was extremely helpful! He is very experienced and speaks very good English. A big THANK you for all of the tips you gave us sir! Great views from the balcony, spacious and comfortable room, rich breakfast. Everything one needs for a couple of days in Haputale, far from fuzzy Ella, but so close to the mountains and tea plantations.

High up above the town, The Nest was an excellent break from our road trip around Sri Lanka. The large bed was comfortable with soft lighting on either side and hot water in the spacious bathroom. A small balcony overlooked a great view and it was pleasant sitting out there before walking into town to eat. ( Do get a tuk tuk back if it’s dark.) Our host was charming and he happily provided the breakfast we requested. Thank you Sam.

The spacious room, the view, the very helpful and friendly owner...and a good breakfast.
