✅Amazing value for money. Kusan and his wife made it one of the best places we stayed at during our 3 weeks in Sri Lanka ✅5 minutes walk to the bars and cafes of Ella and near little Adams peak so u are close to the best parts of Ella, but you wake up to the surrounded by bush and birds/monkeys etc instead of noisy drunks ✅Kusan picked us up from the train, and also took us to the key slights we wanted to see ✅Huge and very taste breakfast He also has a taxi service so he also drove us to Galle at the end of our time in Ella

Wonderful new apartment with a view. Hosts were super friendly and accommodating.

This is a lovely, wood panelled "home-stay" within easy walking distance into town. As other guests have noted, there are several nice extra touches, such as toothbrushes in the shower room and good wifi. The room has a lovely little veranda with chairs where you can sit in the morning and watch the 'jungle' wake up. As with all the locals we have meet on this trip, the host is lovely and tries hard to make sure your stay is as comfortable as possible. The one downside is that it is up a steep set of steps so would not suit anybody with mobility problems. A good breakfast is served on the veranda and includes the usual, I opted for a egg hopper which unfortunately was cold (and not crisp).

The wooden cabin is spacious and clean. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Central location in Ella and on walking distance from all restaurants, bars, and main to do’s in Ella such as little Adam’s Peak, nine arch bridge, Ella rock,... Friendly hosts and a good fresh breakfast every morning. Tuk tuk and taxi services can be arranged via the host, but we recommend to compare prices with others. Overall, we would definitely recommend this wood cabin for your stay in Ella!

The most comfy bed in Sri Lanka! We loved our little room, it felt like we were in a little treehouse. The view from the balcony is wonderful and watching monkeys while eating breakfast was a highlight. Sajeena is a great cook, both the Sri Lankan and English breakfasts were yummy. Kasun drove us around in his tuk tuk all day and was very helpful showing us the good spots to visit. It was only a few minutes walk into town and close to a small supermarket.

Cabin is in the perfect and calm place in Ella (3 mins to center and 15 mins to little Adam´s peak), excellent Sri Lankan breakfast. Very clean and nice cabin with perfect equipment (fridge, kettle, tea, coffee and etc...) but most important think is on our trip around Sri Lanka, we did not know more helpful and kindly hosts who helped us in Sri Lanka all our stay in this country not only in Ella. සමුගැනීම Kasun and Sajeena

The owners welcomed us like family into their lovely cabin! The bed was so comfy and we liked all the little extras like toothpaste and shampoo. The shower had a great view! Breakfast was enormous and filled us up all day and it was so nice to feel peaceful in the trees rather than the noise of the main road. If you are thinking of staying here then don’t hesitate! I am sure we will return to Ella and I really look forward to staying here again and seeing how kasun and Sajeera are getting on.

It was a very clean and tidy apartment with stunning views, in a great location just off the main street at Ella. The hosts couldn’t have been better, very helpful and made us a tasty Sri Lankan breakfast every day. We would recommend this place to anyone passing through Ella.

The warmest welcome we’ve had in Sri Lanka, our hosts Kasun and Sajeena were great and went above and beyond for us, taking us around ella and helping us arrange our onward trip. The Sri Lankan breakfast was the best we’ve ever had- Incredible! The location is also perfect- 5 minute walk into the centre of Ella. We had a great time staying here.

The location was very good (if you don’t mind a good few steps) and the shower had ‘herbal essences’ esque views. Sri Lankan breakfast was nice but western option was stale sliced bread.

“Jungle glamping”
- • Leisure trip

The cabin is very dark unless the curtains are drawn but if they are drawn, even slightly, you have very little privacy. You must chose between light or privacy. The host would often walk by as well as men from the building site next door. The host was nice but at times it was awkward as she would linger around us saying nothing, like waiting us to finish our drink/ food - pretty uncomfortable. The cabin doesn’t have aircon, only a very loud fan. The cabin is stuffy at night time and we did not sleep well due to this and the fact that the monkeys and stray dogs make a lot of noise at night (above the cabin is the shell of another yet to be built- the animals scurry around above you at night and howl). Finally the cabin isn’t really ‘seeled’ and we had a lot of bugs in the room. There is a mosquito net but it has many holes and makes it feel even stuffier and you still get bitten. It was by no means a terrible stay - but I think it was expensive for what we got.
The location was very good (if you don’t mind a good few steps) and the shower had ‘herbal essences’ esque views. Sri Lankan breakfast was nice but western option was stale sliced bread.

Take earplugs - lots of dogs barking at night and Buddhist temple early morning. Though close to main strip you don't hear the bars or people as it is down a lane.
Really nice young couple running this homestay room right by their own home. Sri Lankan breakfast was very good. They will collect you from train station if organised before though the walk is quite short and you can stop for a drink on the way. Room really clean and tidy. Bathroom has an amazing view! Great base for going up Adam's peak and 9 arch bridge (both just a short tuk tuk away). We also had a massage at a place called Ravens Herbal Spa. It was a proper strong full body massage - really AMAZING. Though the place is a scruffy shack (not a posh spa so don't expect this) it was one of the best massages I've ever had! Very cheap - with this in mind please remember to tip the girls as much as you can who do it (Sri Lanka is a hard place for women in terms of getting education or work). Think of what you would have paid elsewhere. Address for this is Ravens Spa, Water fall Road, Ella, +94773488305. One girl was called Rose and one something else. Very sweet local girls. Brilliant massage before journey to National park.

Kasun and his wife did everything to make us feel comfy. He picked us up from the train station, gave a lot of information about ella and also drove us around in his tuktuk. And what’s most important, they’re both so nice and friendly people! The room is very new and designed with love & attention to details. It is very centrally located and still you feel remote. If you‘re in ella, you should definitely stay here!
