Mount Haven

Big clean room, nice breakfast, very nice and helpful owners.

Tout était top

Tucked away from the bustle of the main road and approached through a few winding roads, Mount Haven offers a truly peaceful hilltop retreat. And the moment you arrive and meet the warm hosts - Dr. Nimal and his lovely wife - you instantly know you’ve found a special place. The views from the property are absolutely breathtaking, especially if you opt for the balcony room, which allows you to soak in the landscape right from your doorstep. The caretaker, who also doubles up as the chef, is extremely helpful and attentive. Breakfast here is prepared with genuine care and warmth, adding to the homely charm of the stay. The rooms are comfortable, and thanks to the elevated location, the surroundings remain pleasantly cool. The terrace is a wonderful spot for bird lovers, with plenty of bird activity in the mornings. A serene, welcoming homestay that offers both warmth and wonderful views.

Mount Haven is an excellent place to stay. The property is amazing with great bedrooms and amazing views. It is extremely well maintained and the owners are very polite and courteous. Location is a little tricky to reach to but Google Maps came in very handy. Overall we enjoyed our stay here. Thank You.

The rooms are in a huge family house on top of the mountain. We lived in a room on the second floor. The apartment itself is a bit further away from the city center, which was great for us as it is further away from all of the noise and chaos which Kandy brings. As well as the tuktuk costs only 400-500 rupees from the city. So, it didn’t cause any discomfort. The room itself was clean and had lovely views to the nature. Hosts were really sweet and gave us great recommendations. We also had great breakfast here. The selection might look smaller compared to other stays, but that was just enough for us to feel full and start the day. If needed, the host could easily arrange the ride to Nuwara Eliya, however, we’ve got the ride on our own.

Terrific value. The room we stayed in was large with a beautiful balcony. Dr Nimal and his family are charming hosts keen for you to enjoy your stay and get the most from Kandy. We turned up with a driver and Dr Nimal organised a room for him too which we appreciated. We were supplied with a good fan and mosquito netting and had no problems and slept very well. The house is fascinating and perched high up in the suburbs of Kandy. Nice breakfasts too - lovely homemade rotis, for example. Overall we loved our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

For the price, nothing.

the owners were very nice and I had a great chat with them. your window opens to nature and listen birds in the morning. and you can start the day with a great breakfast.
