Wow! Cozy family-run guesthouse close to Ella Station. We felt like at home, not only because the landlady Sudha cooked the best vegan curry dinner we had so far in Sri Lanka, but also because of the warm hospitality, we enjoyed a lot. Besides we got all the information we needed about hiking trails and transportation. We would definitely come again. Highly recommended.

Fantastic location and the most friendly owners. Delicious breakfasts. The tea plantation is just behind the homestay!

Perfect, quite location, the odd noise from a train but found it rather soothing. Very close to town without the noise from the bars at night. Sudha and her family were so lovely and helpful really made us feel at home. She helped organise a trip via tuk tuk with Ishan to the Waterfall for a swim which after going we would of never found. She had great knowledge of the area and especially places not so touristy which we loved. We choose to do the cooking class with her which was so much fun and delicious. So much tasty food. I really can’t praise Sudha enough. Such a wonderful woman, we loved coming back from a mornings exploring to her bringing us tea and having a chat on the terrace. If you’re looking for a friendly home stay with a lovely family please try here it truly is wonderful. She even has a puppy shitzu.

the owners are extremely helpfull. The location is perfect, near the station, best is to cross the rails to have a shortcut to the place instead of the main railway exit. I suggest the cooking lessons and food. Sadhu is an excellent and passionate cook and teacher :). Cosy couch outside on the terras

Such a good place. Extremely close to the train station and the centre, walkable distance to everything. Excellent contact with the hostess, super kind person, I miss her and her amazing breakfast. So good. Comfortable bed with mosquito net, good shower. I will definitely come back.

Extraordinary host with excellent english. Amazing breakfast with coconut sambol sandwiches, fluffy banana pancakes, buffalo curd, fruits and tea. Cooking class (with torch light due to country-wide power cuts) was great, and the dinner we cooked was delicious. Beautiful location in walking distance to the train station and town center. They try very hard to keep mosquitos away from the outside lounge area at night. Good and fast laundry service.

This is an amazing Homestay in Ella! Sudha and her family are lovely, so welcoming and warm. Sudha can help with anything - taxi, laundry, general info. It's quiet, just 5mins walk from Ella station and 5 mins to the main bit of Ella. But you feel much more secluded and out of the way - Ella can be quite noisy so this was perfect!. Ask Sudha for a cookery class - it was fab and so interesting to hear about Sri Lanka from her and her life!! Can't recommend this place enough and much better than staying in a hostel in the town.

Nice place to stay in Ella, there is a cozy sitting area outside the house that offers views of the tea plantations. The room is basic but comfortable.

Very friendly family, helpfull and attending. We followed a cooking class with Suda and we would highly recommend it. We made many delicious dishes and it tasted amazing, definitely going to make this at home again. The cookingclass is private in a small setting and only for people staying in the guesthouse. The house is uphill and surrounded by tea fields and many flowers and plants. Very close to the station, 5 min walk. Breakfast was amazing!
