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! 🙏❤️

We stayed at Winwood Ella for 2 nights, it was easy to get to from the train station in Ella simply a 5 minute drive away just off from the main strip. The hotel is managed by Laal and his wife, who were extremely kind and welcoming as hosts. He contacted me via Whatsapp prior to my arrival, and I was able to communicate with him easily through Whatsapp. The room is on the lower level of the hotel, reached by a flight of stairs. It is a beautifully custom designed room that is made entirely of wood. It is mesmerising to be walk into and be inside, almost as being in a tree house. The room is spacious, contained a small area with a mini fridge, tea/coffee station and a sink. The bathroom is nicely designed, with stone and wood giving it a lovely nature inspired feel. There is a stone waterfall style shower which is really cool. The highlight of the room is a large balcony which overlooks to jungle mountain terrain of Ella, in the mornings and evenings it is absolutely beautiful to sit outside and enjoy the ambience of the animals and the nature, watching the mist roll over the mountains. The host prepares an amazing breakfast spread which is served to your balcony so you can enjoy breakfast with a view. They are really attentive to your needs and cater to your requests. Laal also provided great recommendations about the area, dropped us off in the town for dinner, took our clothes to the launderer and overall made our stay very comfortable and accomodating. The location is fantastic as it is walking distance from the town and nearby attractions, and Laal has scooters for rent from the property. I would definitely visit Winwood Ella again.

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!

We stayed here with our family and had a wonderful experience. The place was very clean and offered a beautiful view of the mountains. The environment was calm and peaceful, perfect for a relaxing stay. The hosts, a lovely couple, were extremely kind and helpful, making us feel very welcome. Highly recommended.

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.
