It is a one bungalow retreat surrounded by the rice paddies, a river that flows behind it and a small woodland on the side. Peaceful and authentic. You can walk to the village and say hello to the very friendly locals. We even got invited to their home for a glass of milk and a fresh king coconut. They even took us to a nearby Buttala where we had an ice-cream together. Sujeeva, the bungalow's caretaker did a wonderful job in making all the meals for us and taking care of the property. On the last day of our stay we had a medical emergency (my husband was feeling very poorly), and both the owner/manager of the retreat and Sujeeva did their best to help us with the transport to the hospital and onward travel to Ella. We will always remember our stay in this special place.

Beautiful experience, staying on Bhathiyas family farm. Location is remote, so perfect place to take in the area, Safari, eat, relax. All the food made by his Mum was amazing! Would highly recommend for anyone that was to be off grid!

Peace and tranquility in beautiful surroundings! Only us and the young couple who looked after us. We stayed in the upper chalet which also had beds out on the balcony, fabulous for chill time and laying out under the stars at night.

Where do I even begin. This is a beautiful piece of paradise everyone should experience in their lives. Slightly away from the main strip of Ella, if you are looking for a peaceful and scenic stay this is absolutely the place for you. Comfortable, clean and most importantly safe. But this couldn’t be possible without our wonderful hosts, who made our stay fun and exciting. The host helped us arrange tuk tuks whenever we needed for local price, not the tourist price. Once you come here and try the coffee you will always miss it when you drink anything else. We were also lucky enough to be experience a wonderful bbq with the host who showed us a piece of paradise with a waterfall accompanied by tasty food. It was an incredible experience if you are planning to come to Ella, it would be a shame if you didn’t stay here.

We really enjoyed our stay here! It was the ideal place to relax and recharge after the buzz of Arugam Bay, and a great base for a day trip to explore Ella. The place was spotlessly clean and super comfortable – we felt right at home. The hosts were so kind and helpful, offering tuk tuk services and even giving us clear pricing for transport andl tours. They also asked us each evening what we’d like for breakfast – such a lovely touch – and it was always fresh and delicious. The facilities were great, the vibe was peaceful, and we couldn’t fault a thing. Highly recommend if you want something welcoming, clean, and well-run!

Nice place surrounded by beautiful paddy filled, adjacent river was another level experience since it was a perfect place to chill out after incredible tour of elephants and birds watching. We got easy access to one of the Yala gates. Thank for the Sri Lankan authentic breakfast, even host didn't charge for that. All good, highly recommended

Buttala is a beautiful little city close to the northern part of Yala National Park. If you pass by (maybe on your way to/from the east coast), stop here and enjoy a couple of nights in the local homestays (we can fully recommend Yala Avian Eye Safari!!). Safaris from here are calm and you can enjoy the northern part without hundreds of other jeeps.
