Clifford, Sri Lanka

The location is incredible - about a 15 minute tuk tuk ride to Ella town centre, 5k walk along the train tracks and in the middle of a tea plantation. It is extremely peaceful and lovely to have a bath whilst it rains. The host Sasi was very friendly and very helpful, nothing was too much trouble.

Katie, United Kingdom

Views were fantastic. Very romantic place if you like the seclusion. WiFi and shower were very good and the hut looked amazing.

Maud, Netherlands

Amazing place for a romantic stay and nature lovers. Clean and comfortable place lost in a tea plantation. The views are stunning. Manu was extremely kind host, he did his best for us. We endjoy every minute. Bit far from Ella but still worth it.

Georgia, Cyprus

Very good view!! and kind people. The please is close to the nine arch bridge and it is a really beautifull walk over the train rails to get there.

Yvette, Netherlands

Where do I start? The view, the style, the simplicity, the comfort, the bed, the food, the owner, the staff. We felt like the king and queen. We will definately be back, this place is beyond special.

We loved the location + setting ,however if you have big bags or are not very fit getting to the room may be challenging as it is up lots of stairs. Is not in Ella - about 10min tuk tuk.

The tea cabin was great.
The staff was really great. There are a lot of stairs to walk up to the cabin which is tucked away in the side of a little tea plantation. Loved the adventure in walking through the village and by the train tracks to get to the 9 Arch Bridge.

Location was not good. Not easy to get into the town because of the unrefined and steep roads. Not an option to get back after dark. The guy who worked there was very friendly and welcoming but hard to communicate to. the food was unfortunately not that tasty.. but maybe the curry is better(we had kottu). Also a very limited choice of drinks, they only served 8,8% beers. Very romantic place but only if you are not scared of bugs. All in all a little bit dissapointing but has potential.
Views were fantastic. Very romantic place if you like the seclusion. WiFi and shower were very good and the hut looked amazing.

Since there is only 1 tea cabin you are staying there all by yourself therefore less suitable for single travellers (in my opinion) + a 15 min tuk-tuk drive away from Ella. It is not an easy road to walk so you will need the tuk-tuk.
Very good view!! and kind people. The please is close to the nine arch bridge and it is a really beautifull walk over the train rails to get there.

Loved every single thing. We wanted to stay longer but were lucky to get one night in this amazingly special place. Most amazing place either of us have ever stayed, and we've both been around the block.
Where do I start? The view, the style, the simplicity, the comfort, the bed, the food, the owner, the staff. We felt like the king and queen. We will definately be back, this place is beyond special.

There are a lot of steps (like 100) to get to the cabin. This is why you have such an amazing view, though! Also you will receive help carrying your bags up which is excellent. The lighter you can travel the better lol :) still it is worth it to climb the stairs because everything is so nice! :-)
The tea cabins are a fabulous and unique option for a stay in Ella if you want to avoid the crowds (about 10-15 minute tuk tuk ride into Ella town) yet enjoy the serenity and beauty of the area. You are literally nestled between tea plants. You can hear the train a couple times per day and even see the tea pickers! The location is breathtaking and there are many chairs and hammocks about to relax in. There is a lovely partially outdoor style shower with bath and separate toilet area. You will hear lovely nature sounds all the time. A trained Chef is on staff and you will enjoy Komodu’s delicious meals. We had wonderful breakfast (English and Sri Lankan style) as well as dinners. The fruits were so delicious and so were the fruit juices! The owner was also a very kind man and everyone was full of smiles! :) they helped us arrange a lovely day to hike little Adams peak, see 9 arch bridge and ravana falls. Tuk tuk into town is complementary. This is a really special property. Please stay at least 3 days if not 4 in order to see the area but also to relax and enjoy the location.
