The room is very clean and big. Sri Lankan breakfast is great. the owner is very friendly and helpful.
ThailandIt was our second visit to the place. We were very glad to find out that she had started offering cooking classes that were very reasonably priced for the number of dishes we cooked. There was enough food for 5 people and it was all delicious. She was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great and massive. We had to pack part of it for lunch. She arranged for a tuk tuk to take us out to Lipton's seat as well as to a hidden waterfall you can swim in. We enjoyed our stay there very much!
SingaporeI absolutely LOVED everything about it and would highly recommend staying there. Sudha is beyond hospitable and a soul of the home. She will make you feel like you are a part of the family and just incredible human being.
United States of AmericaGreat location, very nice staff, clean room. Very good value for money!
SpainEverything. Owner got reserved train tickets Ella to Kandy, take out delicious breakfast as train left at 6:40 am and it is right around the corner from the Homestay. Also walking distance for cafes and night life Fantastic overnighter and lovely lovely hostess
CanadaThe hosts were especially very nice and kind with a big heart!! The location was great, very close to the train station and the bed was very comfortable with a hot shower. Very quiet environment and still very close to the action of the city center. A very good breakfast!
Sri LankaLocation is nice it has a nice view over mountain. Owner is very good and friendly.
Sri LankaPerfect 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!
