We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay at CentrePoint on Colombo, Jeff and his wife were very welcoming. They took the trouble to advise us what to see, where to eat, which way to go, and even where to have a good coffee ! He even arranged our free pickup for the Tranzalpine Train when we left early in the... More

The first kiwis I really spoke to were the managers of this motel and they made a great impression for the rest of the country. Very nice and very helpful more importantly! This motel was very clean, comfortable and budget friendly. I would go back!
