Our host was so lovely and helpful. He organised lifts for us and tour to tea plantation. The breakfast was fresh and served to us every morning. The room was very clean. The views from the property are stunning. The pool area is gorgeous. A great stay. Nice walk down the hill to ella and a tuktuk back each night. We paid 500 to get us up the hill which is well worth it.

This was absolutely our best stay in Sri Lanka! The room is really nice (recently renovated) and huge! But the best thing is it open out onto the most amazing balancy overlooking the mountains which you can see sunrise from. The son and dad host duo are so incredibly lovely! And finally, the breakfast is best breakfast we have had yet! They provided so much food with lovely fresh fruits! It’s fantastic! We extended our stay and still never wanted to leave!

One of the best little towns to spend a quiet holiday.

One of the best little towns to spend a quiet holiday. Ambience and the vibe is great and it never fails to amaze me. There are so many places to see and one trip is never enough as there are man hidden gems to discover. I have been there over 5-6 times but I think there are more places for me to discover. Food is great and people are very friendly.

Vibrant high street with lots of restaurants bars and local shops. Places of interest mini Adam’s peak and 8 Arches bridge. Mainly tourists therefore prices were a little high. However worth a visit and ease of access to other places of interest. Easy to get around walking

We arrived in Ella via a different route than many ( from the west coast) due to weather impacting our plans. We’d experienced real’ Sri Lanka in Negombo, Bentota and Haputale, and on our journey in to the hills through Ratnapura. If we’re honest, arriving in Ella felt like arriving in a European holiday resort. It lacked authenticity and burgers and pizzas are all the thing. Take your time to seek out the Sri Lankan restaurants to get a true experience. Having said that the tourist sights were impressive - even if they were over run with instagrammers!

Ella is a small busy town we stayed 5 mins out at the tip top hotel where you could see the nine arches bridge We could walk down to the train line although a goats track it was still a great way to walk into Ella following the train line Highly recommend to eat at Mateys Hut best food and great value for money Don’t forget to include little Adam’s peak and stop at 98 acres pool club on your way back for a cocktail

The place a lot to offer - especially the number of hikes to different waterfalls, little Adams peaks, Ravana's cave etc. And also day trip options to Nuwara Eliya. And if you just want to walk around, sit in a cafe and chill, then there a lot of options for that as well. Overall, I would have done the trip again, I would spend atleast 4 days minimum here.

What a wonderfull place with the kindest family. They offer nice breakfast, dinner and juices The house/lodge is not big luxury but has everything you need! I would definitely recommend staying here if you love nature. You have a stunning view on the waterfall. The place is just a few kilometers out of Ella town but on a hill which makes it a climb to get there, but the family arranges a tuktuk if needed. The last bit is only reachable by foot and is a bit steep, but really worth it.

Stunning view, amazing hosts and great breakfast! 5 mins by Tuk tuk from the Main Street in Ella where all the restaurants and shops are located. A great point to start all your experiences while in Ella. The host and the entire family are a gem and I highly recommend a dinner there! You can ask to cook with the mum and learn the real Sri Lanka cuisine! Room clean , hot water and comfortable bed. Do not expect anything luxury but a REAL experience!

This is a really lovely homestay! It is clean and comfortable and a wonderful haven oasis in the jungle, away from the hectic main road of Ella town. This is not a 5* luxury hotel, it's a clean and comfortable room part of a family's home. It is a little walk - 20 minutes on hilly bumpy road - from the main town, but for me it was perfect. You are already on the way to climb ella rock! I really enjoyed my stay here.
