Our stay at Fern Hill Cabins was absolutely unforgettable! The place itself is cozy, peaceful, and surrounded by incredible nature — perfect for couples looking to relax and enjoy the beauty of Ella. But what made our experience truly special was the owner, Chathura. He is one of the kindest and most caring hosts we’ve ever met. He spent the whole day with us — took us to the zipline, to the waterfalls, and even helped us organize taxis and trips around the area. We felt like we were visiting a good friend, not just staying at a hotel. Thank you, Chathura, for your kindness and hospitality. You made our honeymoon truly memorable. ❤️

Angelo was supernice and friendly. The location was perfect: own peace but walkable distance to Ella city center and train station. Breakfast was amazing and rooms cozy, we really enjoyed our stay.

The scenery within the property is breathtaking, like something straight out of Jumanji. Every tropical tree you can imagine, hills, running water and a rice pattie. The location was perfect for us, only a 10 min walk to Ella town but far enough that it felt like you were in the hills. The staff were a highlight, too. They go out of their way to make your stay authentic and pleasurable. Very, very nice people.
