The Capoe House

We had a wonderful two night stay at the Capoe House villa. Eranda and his team were some of the most wonderful and welcoming host we have ever had. The ambiance is amazing and food was excellent. Couldn’t ask for a better way to spend the new years!

Really the place is breathtaking ,fresh air and best tranquility. Luxury accommodation and the staff is so kind such a good staff ..special thanks for madushanka ( chef 👨🏻‍🍳) the food was out of this world..super clean. ..10 10 highly recommend

This boutique hotel is a lovely oasis of tranquility in the lush hills of Haputale surrounded by wildlife and rolling tea plantations. But what makes it such a charming place to relax is the extraordinary service offered by manager and naturalist Eranda and every one of his amazing team. Their quiet attentiveness and attention to detail is very special indeed and a rare find in hospitality these days. We can’t recommend this wonderful hideaway highly enough.

What a absolute gem of a place hidden in the Jungle, the building is elegant and and as soon as you arrive you are met by the most professional, smiling, warm hosts we have had on our entire trip. Upon arriving we felt totally relaxed as our hosts arrived with umbrellas and took our luggage, when inside the property we were given a warm towel and our stay was explained to us by Eranda, his warm and kind demeanour made us feel like we were at home. The property only has 2 rooms in the main house and this means you are very very well looked after. Our main host was Charminder who was an absolute delight to have met, he was so professional, caring and nothing was too much for him, he makes amazing speciality cocktails and accommodated our ask for a takeaway lunch as we were hiking the next day, this came in a sustainable box and was freshly cooked food, that was still warm when we ate it some 5 hours later. Eranda knows everything about wildlife, in particular snakes and birds, on our hike we encountered 2 snakes and with photos Eranda explained that both were not poisonous and then went on to teach us what features poisonous snakes have so we left having learnt potentially life saving information. I can not recommend The Capoe House and the team enough, this was our best stay of our trip and would return in a heartbeat.

A special place not to be compared to others luxury places. Here the real luxury is a (very) remote place, a nice house with only two large bedrooms and a detached bungalow with only one room. So real quietness and privacy. And of course a super service and a nice, knowledgeable and friendly manager - thanks again Eranda ! - who takes care of you with his staff. And the famous waterfall is nearby. We booked the two rooms of the main house, we felt at home !!

We stayed for 3 days and enjoyed every moment if our time here amid the mountains and the wildlife, birdwatching directly from the rooms terrace included ! We also enjoyed the hike and up to some rock formations with a great view over the valley and beyond and a refreshing plunge in the small pool afterwards. A big thank you to the welcoming and very friendly and helpful staff !
