Set just 42 km from Gregory Lake, leisure Mount View features accommodation in Haputale with access to free bikes, a garden, as well as a shared kitchen. This guest house offers free private parking, free shuttle service and free WiFi. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace.

The views from the hotel are unbelievable! I had many plans in Haputale, but I ended up spending most of my time enjoying the view from my bed or balcony. You can watch the sunrise over the mountains and tea fields right from bed. It is probably the best view I ever had from a hotel. I would love to come back just to take it all in. The location is also convenient to get to many different tea farms and Lipton’s Seat, if you do decide to leave your hotel room. Haputale is much less touristy than Ella, but you can still find lots to do. Other reviews mentioned no hot water, but this was not an issue for me. There is a switch outside the bathroom to turn on the water heater. After a few minutes waiting for the water to heat up, I had a nice hot 20 minute shower and never had any issues. The staff are very kind and willing to offer advice and help with booking tuk tuks, etc. Meals were simple but good and affordable. I also recommend walking down through the tea fields to the Olive Tea Center for tasty ice cream and other baked goodies. Really good and very affordable!

Everything! It was the most beautiful, elegant, welcoming place we stayed in all of Sri Lanka! The home is a true bed & breakfast. The food was amazing and host couple was absolutely lovely. We found this place by chance while looking for lodging on a stopover near Ella. It was the best surprise. We could have stayed here for days. Some of the best food I’ve ever eaten in my life! It was a highlight of the trip. Thank you for having us!

At night, dinner is delicious and shared with the other guests. It is a place of exchange, to learn about sri lankan culture, meet other travelers, or just rest facing the valleys. One of our best stays in Sri Lanka, thank you again !

    The homestay offers incredible views, large, comfortable rooms, and a peaceful atmosphere. But the most special part of Nilowin is the kind, helpful family who run the guesthouse and the delicious, fresh, home cooked food in an idyllic setting. Our whole family took the cooking class and learned so much about Sri Lankan food and culture. I can't recommend it enough. The local village and tea fields are beautiful and relaxing. We enjoyed it all so much that we extended our stay.

    We actually loved staying here and knew the moment we came that we wanted to stay another night! Everybody was so amazing and helped us organise our trips :) The food was also really really good! Shirodh was our driver for the 2-3 days and made our experience a lot better here! He stopped everywhere we wanted to and also explained and showed us many things! All in all we loved the welcoming family and their homestay with its amazing view of the mountains and tea plantations!

    Family-style Homestay. All Family members were took good care of the guests. They arranged a whole-day trip at a very fair Price to Liptons Seat/walking back and further on to Diyalyma waterfalls (1.5 h tuc-tuc each way on a very rough Road). All meals were together with the other guests, all sitting and chatting around the same table

    Wonderful place, great host always in for an interesting talk, lots of laughs and advice without at anytime trying to sell you anything. He has also got the talent to bring people together, so eventually all the guests are also talking to each other! We felt immediately at home. His wife is also a great cook. The view from the balcony of the rooms is amazing and yet it is very close to the center and the shops. Clean room and bathroom. Don't hesitate!
