When we booked Fern Hill Cabin the property had a rating of 10 - which was very well deserved. We only stayed at Fern Cabins for two nights but truly wished we had stayed longer. This place is an absolute gem. The cabins are beautifully and thoughtfully designed—every detail has been carefully considered to create a space that feels both stylish and welcoming, like a true home away from home. The views are absolutely breathtaking, and there are so many cozy spots around the cabin to relax and take it all in. The location is perfect—just a short drive to town, yet far enough to feel removed from the hustle and bustle, allowing you to fully enjoy the natural beauty of the area. And we can’t say enough about the staff—they were warm, attentive, and made us feel incredibly well taken care of throughout our stay. We’d return in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

I love this place, which is located in a very beautiful place very close to the falls. The room is very comfortable and the smell of the water is very good and the room is also very clean. The bed is also very comfortable. Also, the roof is very quiet and peaceful. The breakfast I had was the best breakfast I have ever had in Sri Lanka. The staff, who are also very friendly, treated us like family. I am very grateful to them.

Sri Lankan Breakfast. Brilliant location. 5 minute walk into main town and train station along the train tracks. Very clean, spacious room. Beautiful view of Ella rock and the valley below. Friendly owners, one is a guide for Ella rock and considerably cheaper than online prices.
