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! 🙏❤️

Everything! We totally recommend this place, the staff/manager was so friendly and we were even offered some snacks and coffee/tea upon arrival. The room was big and clean, there were a lot of facilities (e.g. minifridge etc.) and the balcony was as well very pretty. The street in frond has a lot of traffic but after 9pm it gets really quiet. There is no AC but a good fan and because of the cooler temperatures in Ella AC is not necessary. The location itself was just PERFECT, it‘s a 10min walk to the Nine Arches Bridge through stunning jungle and just 5-10min by foot to the centre of Ella!

What a kind family! They picked me up from the train station and made me feel so welcome from the moment I arrived with tea and conversation. The property is about 7 minutes by tuk tuk to Ella city, so it is deep in the jungle and very quiet and relaxing. The room is clean, spacious, and comfortable, and the water heats up nicely. The breakfast was HUGE and I even had leftovers for lunch. Their son even offered to take me to Ella Rock (about an hour hike from the property) & we left at 4:30am to make sunrise…it was an incredible experience. By the time I left, I felt like family. :)

This is the most beautiful and clean room I have ever stayed in Sri Lanka and their hospitality was at a very high level. Breakfast was also very tasty and there were many amazing dishes like roti hopper which I really like. The room was also very clean. The bed was always very comfortable and the bathroom was also very clean. Also, this place is decorated very beautifully with likes.

Lovely host family, very welcoming. Amazing views from the terraces on each level. Rooms are comfortable with hot water showers and air con. Great breakfast in the morning. We asked for omelettes the second day and this was not a problem. Just bear in mind there is a very steep hill down to the accommodation so bear in mind if you have any difficulty mobility wise. The Main Street is very close for restaurants etc and the walk to the nine arch bridge and little Adam’s peak is quite close from the homestay.
