“Relaxing Stay in Haputale with Incredible Views”

Kind and respectful staff who go above and beyond, even helping when I needed to see a doctor, big set breakfast portions, stunning views from the balcony and plenty of places to go for a walk nearby

“Incredible location on the Pekoe Trail with a stand-out experience on the cooking class, plus the owner is directly help”

Incredible views, great place to do the Pekoe Trail, cooking class was stand-out!

“Utterly epic views in a spacious room.”

Stunning location on top of the hill overlooking the tea fields below and the valleys below those. We were kindly upgraded to a roof top suite with room-wide windows leading out onto a roof terrace. The views literally make this place. Service was good and the room was clean and comfortable. The only downside was the prayer calls from a nearby mosque being noisy late evening and VERY early morning, but the accommodation owners can’t help this. Also the town is a bit run down and chaotic, but again not the property’s fault. We were given a gift as we checked out and heard how the owner was busy cooking for local elderly people and monks as a gesture to mark the anniversary of his father’s death. Extremely kind, helpful and selfless people. Thanks for the stay!

The view and the staffs hospitality

“Such lovely owners and a very relaxed place to stay.”

Such an incredible location. Haputale is an incredible chilled area, lots of nature, fresh air and wildlife. We wish we had booked to stay here longer. The family owners of this hotel are so lovely, as are their staff, nothing was too much trouble. The family I’m go out of their way to support those less well of in the community and provide employment for some. The onsite cooking class is a must, 50% of the cost goes towards helping local school children. The food we prepared was some of the best we had during our three week stay in Sri Lanka. The hotel was very clean and had everything you could need for your stay. The communal garden area was lovely and well cared for. Would definitely recommend.

“Really nice place”

We had a very comfortable stay. Our room was spacious, and the balcony offered a lovely view of the valley. The owner and his team were truly kind and attentive, helping us organize our hikes and transport. The meals were flavorful and varied, and the overall service was excellent. A very pleasant place that we highly recommend.

“Worth it just for the view!!!!”

What an amazing view! Absolutely stunning, set above tea plantation looking south down towards foothills & Udawalawe. Delicious food for dinner and breakfast - a lovely touch to end the meal with curd and honey! Staff were lovely and friendly once over the initial shyness. The garden and outdoor planted area was beautiful. And the owner and his sister gave us a wonderful cookery demonstration which we then ate for dinner - delicious. We walked from St Catherine’s to Haputale on the Pekoe trail which was stunning. Thank you

The view is amazing, the family is very nice and welcome, location is awesome

“The most perfect stay in Haputale!!”

First thing to mention is the view (it's in the name for a reason)! The view from the room is absolutely stunning. Waking up to a vista of misty mountains was really special and unlike anything I've experienced before. The room itself was very spacious, comfortable and clean with a tasteful aesthetic. The location of the property is great. You can get a 2-minute tuktuk into the centre of Haputale for very cheap and multiple stages of the Pekoe Trail are accessible from here if you're into hiking. Breakfast and dinner were delicious and you get so much food for a very reasonable price! But the thing that made my stay here extra special is the people. The staff were extremely professional, helpful and friendly. The owner, Hashan, is one of the kindest and most compassionate individuals I've ever met. He helped me get some medication that i needed, he offered me advice and information about the area and we sat and had tea and biscuits together and he told me about Sri Lanka. I felt more welcomed by him and his staff than I have ever felt at a hotel. I am so grateful that I stayed here and I could not recommend it more highly.

Our stay at Leisure Mount View was truly unforgettable. The surrounding environment is absolutely superb, with breathtaking views and beautiful cool weather that makes Haputale so special. It is the perfect place to relax and enjoy nature. The staff are incredibly attentive, kind, and helpful. We especially want to mention Chamoth, Nadeera, and Iwantha — they are doing their jobs wonderfully and always made sure we were comfortable. What makes this place truly special is that it is not just an accommodation provider. It is a place filled with love, care, and purpose. The concept behind the team is very inspiring. Some of the staff are single mothers who are being supported through employment, and others come from very difficult backgrounds. The effort to give opportunities and dignity through work is something we deeply appreciate. We also attended the cooking class with Dewmali, who is a teacher at a nearby school. She does this part-time to help support the education of poor children in Haputale. It was one of the most meaningful experiences we have ever had. It is not just a cooking class — by attending it you are also contributing to the education of children in need. We highly recommend everyone to join this experience. You can clearly feel that the owner, Hashan, runs this place with genuine love and care. We will definitely come back again.

“This place was everything we hoped it would be, comfortable, clean, friendly and romantic!”

Room was comfortable and the view was sensational.

Outstanding location. Very clean and convenient. very welcoming staff.

“Beautiful hotel.”

Our room was large, very clean and the bed was comfortable. The shower was good with plenty of hot water. Food in the restaurant including breakfast was very good. We had a cooking class in the old farmhouse which was excellent. The views and walks right in the doorstep were stunning. Best of all was the whole ethos. . The family who own the hotel employ single mothers and widowed ladies. The money earned from the cooking class supports children who need school supplies. The staff here all seemed very happy and were super helpful.

Beautiful views with good access to Haputale and the rail station. Very good food selection and really friendly attentive staff. Clean, comfortable room. Lovely little garden

“Great spot for enjoying the Pekoe trail and local area”

Excellent location just outside of town with stunning views. We had a spacious room on the roof terrace, modern and clean. We loved breakfast and dinner time in the restaurant with great food, friendly staff and more of an opportunity to meet other guests than anywhere else we stayed.

“Completely superb unmatched hospitality.”

The hotel, the view, the food, the town itself, the walks - everything was totally excellent. But most of all the staff were unbelievable. My partner had a serious accident whilst hiking and the manager of the hotel went to immense lengths to help us. We are so grateful and cannot praise them highly enough.
