“A slice of paradise in Sri Lanka”
+Michael and Ruwanthi have truly created a little piece of paradise in Haputale. From the moment we arrived, we were treated not as guests, but like family. Their warmth, kindness, and genuine passion for what they do shines through in absolutely everything , from the thoughtful attention to detail around the accommodation, to the care they show each guest personally. The accommodation itself was spotless, beautifully furnished, incredibly comfortable, and had easily the best view we experienced in Sri Lanka. Waking up to that scenery every morning felt unreal! And then there’s the FOOD. Every meal was exceptional - Ruwanthi could easily open her own restaurant and give many establishments a run for their money. The flavours, freshness, and love put into every dish was remarkable - please do not give their meals a miss when staying here! We also loved Ruwanthi’s informative cooking classes and garden tour, which were both fascinating and so thoughtfully conducted - so much heart has been poured into creating a meaningful experience for their guests. We stayed for 2 nights, and but this was nowhere close to the amount of time we really needed to fully soak everything in, and to get t

+Spectacular property in every way from the rooms to the house to the estate itself. The view is simply breathtaking and the bathroom also has the same beautiful view. Fantastic, friendly and hospitable hosts in Michael and Ruwanthi with AMAZING food and drink sourced from their estate and lovingly made by Ruwanthi (and team). Other staff members were also extremely polite and kind. This place is truly magical with so much to offer than initially meets the eye. Highly highly recommend.
−Nothing - I would recommend booking more than 1 night which was my mistake to fully enjoy what the property has to offer.

“One of the best experiences in Sri Lanka”
+Our stay at this boutique hotel in Haputale was nothing short of exceptional. Perched in the hills with some of the most stunning views I have ever seen, it offered the perfect mix of comfort, tranquility, and natural beauty. Michael and Ruwantha were incredible hosts,warm, genuine, and the kind of people who instantly make you feel at home. Their hospitality truly elevated our experience. The surrounding nature was remarkable, and Ru’s garden was a highlight on its own, filled with an impressive variety of plants that made every walk around the property feel special. The staff were always smiling and ready to help with anything we needed, creating a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere. And the dogs! They were so friendly and added an extra touch of charm to the place. We stayed for three nights, and it simply wasn’t enough. This is the kind of place you leave already wanting to return. A true gem in the heart of Sri Lanka’s hill country.

“An unforgettable stay with outstanding hosts, breathtaking views, amazing food, and a true haven of peace we would retur”
+We had booked two nights, but this stay turned into an exceptional and unforgettable experience thanks to our hosts Michael and Ruwanthi. Their warm welcome, a dinner worthy of a fine dining restaurant, and the best breakfast of our lives (both in quality and quantity, all homemade with fresh products from the garden) will remain forever in our memories. Ruwanthi gave us a wonderful tour of the lush garden, full of animals (cows, chickens, ducks, monkeys, squirrels…) leading all the way down to a beautiful waterfall. The pool, naturally supplied with mountain water and chlorine-free, is simply stunning and brilliantly designed. The house itself, built with incredible taste, offers breathtaking views of the natural park and mountains from every room. The staff was always discreet, smiling, and attentive, adding to the charm of the stay. This is truly a haven of peace that we wholeheartedly recommend. If we ever return to Sri Lanka, this place alone will be a reason to come back.

“We found the paradise on earth while being alive.”
+We loved everything. Ruwanthi and Michael’s place is outstanding. They made us feel like we were at home, part of the family. The garden is amazing, the decoration perfect and the food is the best we had in Sri Lanka. Do not hesitate to book a room during your trip.

“Exceptional”
+Gorgeous setting, felt so well looked after! 3 x delicious home-cooked meals and with the place all to ourselves, we got the peace and quiet we desperately needed. Absolutely stunning location, nestled into the hills below Haputale, too much to do in the local area of which we achieved very little as we didn't want to leave. Bedroom very clean, spacious and comfortable, loved taking a bath at sunset watching the views! We'll be back!

“A Sri Lankan Gem”
+We loved absolutely everything about our stay at GlenMyu Estate. Our hosts, Ruwanthi and Michael couldn't have been more kind and friendly. They live in paradise and are very open and happy to share it with their guests. The views are magnificent. Many different bird species inhabit or visit the property daily. The pool is truly beautiful and its surrounds are the perfect place to immerse oneself in serenity to the gentle sounds of trickling water from the stream. Our room was gorgeous! Everything is so cleverly and tastefully designed. I loved my tour with Ru showing me around their abundant garden...you name it, they grow it, and probably you will eat it at your next meal, prepared in a delicious way, often to a super Sri Lankan recipe. Ru has an extensive knowledge of the plants she grows and their culinary and medìcinal uses. Ru's cooking is out of this world. She is a magician in sauce making. Her freshly made bread is a delight to see at the breakfast table each morning, and her cinnamon buns are legendary. Ru gently introduced us to Sri Lankan cuisine and explained the ingredients and cooking methods used to produce these delicious dishes. We loved every moment of our three
