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! 🙏❤️

Every part of the stay was amazing! The wooden room reminded us about the Italian houses among the Dolomites so we really felt like at home. The room was spotless and very well prepared for our arrival. The king size bed was super comfortable and we had a very good sleep. The mixture of technology and nature is making the room very unique. Moreover, the hosts were amazing, providing us all the information we needed to make the best of our stay in Ella. They prepared for us an amazing breakfast with some Sri Lankan specialties. Amazing stay!

The location is not far from the downtown area but far enough to have a relaxing stay. You can easily walk to small Adams Peak and the 9 arch bridge from there. The host was a wonderful gentleman who made sure my stay was an excellent one and provided me with useful information during my stay. He even arranged my transfer to Trincomalee which I appreciated. The room itself was very comfortable with a fan that kept the room at a nice temperature as the nights are cool.Nice bed and good hot water pressure.

The stay was beautiful from the start! The management team set us up with a pickup from the station and they provided us with one of their tuktuk and also with a personal support Ravindu! Ravindu was with us at all the point he helped us get settled in, gave us local suggestions and took us to different points with always beautiful smile! They stay was very unique as you can see beautiful view of Ella rock and little Adam’s peak! It’s very dreamy!

The property is ideally locating in Ella, easily walkable to lots of restaurants, with a gorgeous view and amazing staff. Samir and his colleagues could not have been kinder or more helpful during our stay. It is at the top if a steep hill and we could not get our tuktuk up during the rain when we arrived and they immediately came to help with our luggage and take care of us. They made us an excellent Sri Lankan breakfast and brought tea, coffee or water whenever requested. They also offered to do our laundry at no cost and had it ready overnight.

we were flabbergasted by the view at ella gap from the rooftop. crew was amazingly helpful. they drove our tuktuk up to the guesthouse because we didn’t dare to drive the steep hill. hilltop is away from the busy and loud mainstreet. superquiet allthough 5 minutes from the centre. our host gave us the perfect advice to get around.

Really great location just up from the high street in quiet area. Pleasant terrace outside room with place to relax. Good hot shower with good pressure. Large bed and friendly host who offered lots of travel advice. No aircon in room, but air cooler in room was sufficient
