Property info

Situated in the heart of Kandy, Blinkbonnie Inn is a warm, relaxed place perfectly suited for you as it prides itself with the best views in Kandy. You will believe it after you have your breakfast in the view-point restaurant, overlooking the beauty of Kandy. Encompassing twenty rooms in two unique buildings all situated on the same beautiful property in a quiet area of Kandy. We offer a personal service that only a very small, family-owned and managed, guest house and boutique hotel can give. From this retreat, guests can stroll to the city and explore around. All this combined with their outstanding service and traditional hospitality for 30 years makes Blinkbonnie Inn a great place to stay in Kandy. Enjoy your stay in one of our beautiful rooms, each with a private bath, luxury bedding and a balcony with views to the mountain and Kandy lake. The view point restaurant has 180' views of Kandy lake and Temple and mountain ranges. You can enjoy a lovely cup of world famous Sri Lankan tea in the mornings watching playful monkeys passing by as well as a beautiful array of tropical and migrating birds, a great way to begin your day.

Neighborhood info

Some days Kandy’s skies seem perpetually bruised, with stubborn mist clinging to the hills surrounding the city’s beautiful centrepiece lake. Delicate hill-country breezes impel the mist to gently part, revealing colourful houses and hotels amid Kandy’s improbable forested halo. In the centre of town, three-wheelers careen around slippery corners, raising a soft spray that threatens the softer silk of the colourful saris worn by local women. Here’s a city that looks good even when it’s raining.
