Very comfy room with an amazing view of the nine arch, the place is still new and well maintained. Excellent hosts always welcoming and smiling. If you need anything from the town they will buy it for you as travelling from this place to the town needs a tuk tuk.

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!

Hosts were incredibly kind and accommodating, the rooms were perfect - I slept really well. Breakfast was delicious Wifi was decent - could sometimes support a video call. Wouldn't recommend It for working. Location is 10 minutes from town but the owners own a tuk tuk and will bring you there and back for cheap

We absolutely LOVED “Lush in Ella”. If you are wanting to experience peaceful oasis in Ella, this is the place. The design of this unique space hits all the marks in an off the beaten path stay. A junglalow with a view of waterfall, the jungle sounds immersed in nature. The room is private, super clean and the design of the space is just perfect 🤩 it is a 10 out of 10!!! Saman and her husband were so helpful and kind. The breakfast was awesome… we are vegan and they were very accommodating. Thank you for being such wonderful hosts! 🙏❤️
