Mount Bliss Home Stay

Everything, the location , spaciousness, the privacy, and having the caretakers downstairs made the place feel quite safe .

Nothing.

Mount Bliis is a five-star accommodation featuring a spacious two-bedroom apartment, beautifully maintained with high-quality fittings—perfect for a family of four. I’m from Melbourne, Australia, and stayed here for four nights. The owner resides overseas but is easily contactable and extremely polite. The property is looked after by a lovely elderly couple, Soma and Prem, who live on the ground floor. They were exceptionally kind and hospitable throughout our stay. Soma is an incredible cook—after I provided the ingredients, they prepared delicious traditional meals for us. I had originally planned to dine at the Mount Lavinia Hotel, but their home-cooked food was so outstanding that I never needed to. The apartment has a charming and tranquil atmosphere. From the large balcony, you can enjoy the sea breeze with a glass of wine or whisky while listening to birds singing and watching squirrels play. The garden is well-maintained and pruned, which meant we experienced no issues with mosquitoes or flies. The apartment is very comfortable, featuring two air-conditioned bedrooms, ceiling fans, en-suite bathrooms for each room, and ample linen storage. It felt like home. I will absolutely stay at Mount Bliis every time I visit Sri Lanka. Highly recommended!

There is nothing I didn't like, it was a lovely experience.

Wifi did not work at all. Other than that, very nice place and people 😊

Very nice and quite place, the terrass with a view. Space 80m2, perfect for four people. Clean just a Great place. Happy I found this place after 30 years in Mt. Lavinia.

Nothing special

Good location, Clean and flexible

A beautiful large apartment, ideal for several people. Big kitchen/fridge/microwave. Many local takeaways. Completely private unspoilt views of the garden and surrounding trees/neighbourhood through the large glass walls to the house. Two decent sized double bedrooms, both en-suite and with adequate AC. Nicely furnished and homely/stylish, classic with modern twist. Large dining table ideal for groups/families. Accommodating owners that are offering value-for-money. Large outdoor patio area with seating for 4 or 5. Very secure, the caretaker is there 24/7.

The large main room can get warm (for overseas people) as it is a tropical climate, but you are able to open the large sliding doors and the overhead fans make it serviceable. It is secure and quiet/not overlooked, so these can be left open all day. You don't have an outdoor key so it is advised to let the caretaker know when you exit, though they were always available to let me back in the secure gate.

I really like the whole set up and staying there was a pleasure. Would like to give me special thanks to Mr Premachandra and Mrs Soma who's staying there to look after the property very well. And I specially like Soma's food and they both were very friendly and helpful all the time. My son had a great time staying there too and its very kids friendly too.
