Amazing views over Ella gap and Ella rock, I could sit there all day. The family are very welcoming and friendly. They provide a good breakfast looking at the view and did my laundry for me. Thank you! Book a room with a view if available it would be worth it.

This property has a very unique location in the mountains, away from the turysty crowds with amazing views surrounding you. The place is extremely clean and well equipped with a desk, open shelving, kettle, tea, coffee, etc. The breakfast was delicious, served on time with a smile and a lot of attention. The property is away from town but provides complementary tuk tuk service to town which we found extremely helpful.

If there is 100 star review I would give to this stay⭐️ We had an amazing stay at this place with this amazing family ❤️ Nadi was super helpful and caring she pampered us with snacks and water all the time just as a caring mother and she provided laundry service and was insisting on not getting paid for it!!

Not mentioning the greet location in the middle of nature of her place, the clean cozy room and the amazing made with love breakfast with the amazing view shown in the pictures! This should definitely be your stay while in Ella 🌸

We loved our stay at Ella Blue Heaven. The views are amazing and it’s a very peaceful and relaxing place to be. The room was really comfortable and clean and we had a lovely breakfast everyday. The host is super helpful and very hospitable. There is just one single track/road that goes from the main road in Ella down to the apartment, it takes around 10mins in a tuk tuk.
