Perfect location in Ella. Up a hill away from the main town so very peaceful but only 5mins to the centre of town. Rooms very clean and comfortable with mozzie nets over the beds. Perfect chill terrace out the front with views. This is by far the best Homestay I have ever been to. The family are so warm and welcoming it was really hard to leave. Definitely book an evening meal, the most amazing food beautifully spiced. The cooking lesson is fabulous too, i cook a lot but I learned so much about layering spices.
United KingdomThe most friendly homestay you will find in Ella, nothing was too much trouble, very relaxed. It was a delight to meet the owners Sudha and Gine, would definitely recommend staying at Tunnel Gap Homestay.
United KingdomOur family of 8, all adults, enjoyed every minute of our stay. The hosts were lovely, really friendly, welcoming and helpful. We loved the banana pancakes for breakfast and the lovely setting in the tea field. Half our group did the cooking class and we all ate the results for dinner. Highly recommended! A bit of a climb to reach the house but a beautiful location with everything in Ella in walking distance. We hope to be back one day!
AustraliaSuch a lovely host, she made us feel at home and went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. Very kind!
United KingdomThey were very friendly and the breakfast was fantastic.
SwedenI have never been to any kind of accomodation with such a warm, welcoming and friendly owner than Sudarshi. She helps you with any little question, is really interested in her guests and their stories and her husband took us patiently with their car up the windy, misty and tiny roads to Horton Plains. Furthermore, Sudarshi is starting her own cooking classes and we had the honor to be one of her first "students". No exaggeration, the curries, salads, roti and coconut sambol was the best in Sri Lanka so far. And I might want to lie in their eggplant salad and pancakes forever. This is for sure going to be one of the best cooking classes in Ella.
GermanyThe host is an exceptional woman and a great cook. Her garden with its view is a place of peace and relaxation. Everything gives you the feeling of home.
