“A wonderful stay in an exceptionally beautiful and tastefully decorated townhouse.”
The very friendly hosts and a complimentary room upgrade made the experience perfect. I loved our room - it had great amenities and a selection of inspirational coffee-table books to browse through and flip through. They served a very nice breakfast in a relaxed atmosphere in the house's beautiful living room. Omelette and juice were quite tasty.

“A peaceful place away from the busyness of Colombo.”
Highbury Guesthouse was exactly the kind of place I look for when I’m in Colombo: quiet, thoughtful, and run by people who seem to move at a calmer frequency than the rest of the city. From the moment I arrived, there was an ease to everything: no fuss, no rush, just a gentle, grounded hospitality that immediately made me feel settled. The house itself has a peaceful, almost meditative quality, surrounded by greenery that softens the edges of the day. But what really stayed with me were the people. They were consistently calm, patient, and genuinely helpful in a way that never felt performative. Whether it was offering guidance, arranging something at short notice, or simply checking in with a quiet kindness, they created an atmosphere where you can actually relax.

Everything! The building, the rooms, the delicious food, the other guests, the atmosphere, the location but mostly the two absolutely wonderful hosts who made us feel so welcome and so generously shared their culture with us! Thank you Manoj and Manitha, we can’t wait to come back!

“Beautiful Oasis run by wonderful people”
The most beautiful place - designed by one of Bawa’s students. Had wonderful discussions with the family who owns the place - a thoughtful and inspiring couple who kindly shared stories of their family, Sri Lankan authors to read and the building itself. Room was spotless and a welcome oasis away from the hustle and bustle of Colombo centre. Can’t wait to stay again on my next trip to Sri Lanka!

“Amazing!”
Manoji and Manitha are such lovely people who take very good care of their guests, as well as the house and the garden. They are very helpful if you need anything, and they share a passion for good, healthy food. They also provide a safe and welcoming space for those traveling alone.
