The view from this place is just insanely beautiful, breathtaking honestly!!! Bedrooms don’t have ACs but you definitely don’t need it because it gets colder in Ella in the evening. It is located perfectly in city center but also quiet and secluded. Hosts are amazing!

This place is definitely worth staying. We had the best feeling of "leisure" there. You would never find a property like this elsewhere. Breakfast was so good, and the staff is so kind and helpful. We were so lucky to visit the stay on the very first flight to Sri Lanka.  We had a breathtaking walk into the green jungle down there. It was so marvelous and interesting. We walked on water, rocks, tree trunks, etc. to visit the hidden waterfall there. No words to say; you must visit and feel
