Holiday rentals with breakfast in Haputale

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.

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.

Nice place, as described. Good and clean washrooms. Location close to city center and some points of interest. Overall good experience.

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.

Loved the place, specifically the hospitality of the host and family, everything was much refreshing and rejuvenating.

Fantastic location, although address is incorrectly listed (look at the map). Otherwise was a very easy check in and hosts were very accommodating

We had a wonderful stay with Ru, Mike, their friendly team, and their beautiful dogs. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel at home with homemade ginger beer and the best coffee we’ve had in Sri Lanka. Our room was spacious and comfy with stunning valley views. The grounds are incredible—lush gardens, a large pool, and rolling hills. Ru gave us a lovely tour of the estate, introducing us to the animals and sharing her knowledge of the plants and spices used in their delicious meals. Her cooking was outstanding—like having a private chef! We also loved the cooking demo with her mum, followed by a Sri Lankan feast. Breakfasts were unforgettable, with fresh local twists and pastries worthy of Paris. Mike and Ru were generous, insightful hosts and helped us explore the area, including Lipton’s Seat, a tea factory, and Diyaluma Falls. Definitely check out GlenMyu’s website for more on food, activities, and the magic of this place.

The most incredible view in Ella. We had a lovely stay, this is the perfect location to walk up Ella rock with the trail starting right outside the door. The staff were very friendly and always happy to help. We were able to walk down into Ella town in 10 minutes but would recommend a short tuk tuk ride back up the hill. Both the Sri Lankan and Western breakfast were great. We would recommend!

This has been our favourite stay of Sri Lanka. Dileepa was so attentive, helpful and friendly, always there to assist. The room and balcony is beautiful with amazing views across the jungle. Don’t be put off by the distance into town - it’s so worth it for this slice of paradise. Thank you Dileepa and family!!! 🥹🤗

Everything was fantastic at Lilu’s! The place was clean, comfortable, and offered a stunning view. Breakfast was exceptional—truly one of the best I’ve had—and Lilu was an incredible host. She even arranged a personalized tuk-tuk tour for me to visit the waterfall, Nine Arches Bridge, tea factory, and Little Adam’s Peak. I was so impressed that I hired the same driver the next day to take me to Udawalawe. The location is within walking distance to the city center, which is super convenient—but I’d recommend bringing a flashlight if you’re walking at night, as some areas can be quite dark.

Our stay in Ella was magical. We also owe this great accommodation in a quiet location with incomparable views. We really enjoyed the time and did most of it within walking distance. The place is on a mountain, less in the hustle and bustle, which was perfect for us. If you don't want to take the walk to the city center of about 25 minutes, there is the possibility to take the TukTuk. The communication with Aruna was impeccable. A delicious breakfast is included and there is also dinner at very fair prices. The room was clean and we slept comfortably. Departing from this beautiful place was very difficult for us. If we travel to Sri Lanka again we will definitely come back! Thank you for the hospitality.

We really enjoyed our stay in our bungalow overlooking the green mountains and valley below. So pretty. Walking to town was easy and lots of great restaurants in Ella. We can thoroughly recommend Anil’s place as a perfect location for exploring and enjoying Ella.

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.
