We stayed at this accommodation in Ella for a few days, and its location is simply the best. We checked out other places in the area, but nothing compares to this one. The view is absolutely spectacular, and we feel so lucky to have had the chance to stay here. The people were wonderful, and the family who runs the place made us feel truly at home. The surroundings were filled with nature, animals, and beautiful sounds, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. This is, without a doubt, the most beautiful place to stay in Ella!

The hosts are the most lovely people ever. They truly care about their guests and even prepared breakfast for us to go at 5.30am. The house is a bit out of town but the walk there in the evening is magical, surrounded by fireflies and nature you can walk down the street in easy 20min from town. Highly recommend :)

Truly worth every penny, yes the walk to the property may not be as enjoyable to everyone if you are carrying a lot of luggage but don’t think twice if you can walk 100 to 150 mts. Absolutely loved the view and the cute old couple who are the host are very sweet

Very nicely appointed room, lovely bathroom and deck on which breakfast is served. Great location opposite track to nine arch bridge and close to walk to little Adam’s peak and far enough from town to avoid noise from pubs/clubs. It’s less than 15 min walk to town. Uphill walk back. Breakfast was great and the hospitality wonderful the owner gave us a ride to the railway station on departure which was so nice of him. Highly recommended

The house is located tucked away in the hills. It is very quiet and very peaceful. There is only one room (where we stayed) in the house so you get a real nice home stay experience. The breakfast was the best we have had in Sri Lanka so far, very tasty and a very big portion that we enjoyed in the balcony every morning. Everything is run by the family and they are very nice and helpful. We got tips of where to go and the hosts also connected us with a tuktuk driver that took us around to the places further away that we wanted to visit. They can also help sort out scooters if preferred. We also got tips where to do laundry which was a very solid recommendation.
