Highbury Colombo

Havelock Town, Colombo

A 13-minute walk from Milagiriya Beach, Highbury Colombo provides recently renovated 4-star accommodations in the Havelock Town district of Colombo.

The property is absolutely breathtaking. Spotlessly clean and very tastefully designed and decorated. Manoji and her husband are exceptional hosts: Manoji’s thoughtfulness and care (and her cooking lessons!) made the space feel like home. Highbury is a short tuktuk ride away from the Gallery Cafe and Geoffrey Bawa’s Residence (No. 11). Would definitely return to Highbury if I’m ever back in Colombo!

Host Rohan was very kind hearted. LUMBINI home stay was very warm. Rohan gave us the walk through on checkin which made us comfortable and homely. Property was well maintained taken care of minutest thing required in the room, with great ambience. Property has proper parking facility with safety lock. Hotel Anna Lakshmi was our research during the visit to Mount Lavinia Beach, which served mouth watering and lip smacking dishes.

Quiet area of Colombo. This suited our needs as we were at the end of our holiday in Sri Lanka. Accommodation was just perfect to wind down and relax. I was really taken up with the bungalow. Perfect place to sip a cup of tea and reflect on how your holiday has been. Definitely will recommend and make my way back again. Hosts were fantastic and answered all our queries. I just wished we could have spent a few more days at this place. Bathroom was huge....you could do ballroom dancing in it. Just Perfect...the best accommodation and so affordable.

It’s a wonderful house. I didn’t realize it was a home stay, but was very grateful it was for my list night in Sri Lanka. When I walked in, music was playing and the water sounds coming from the indoor garden’s pond immediately made me feel like I had stepped out of the busy city and into an oasis. Relaxing house with lots of nooks and crannies, areas to curl up and read a book. I wish I had spent another night.
