When we booked Fern Hill Cabin the property had a rating of 10 - which was very well deserved. We only stayed at Fern Cabins for two nights but truly wished we had stayed longer. This place is an absolute gem. The cabins are beautifully and thoughtfully designed—every detail has been carefully considered to create a space that feels both stylish and welcoming, like a true home away from home. The views are absolutely breathtaking, and there are so many cozy spots around the cabin to relax and take it all in. The location is perfect—just a short drive to town, yet far enough to feel removed from the hustle and bustle, allowing you to fully enjoy the natural beauty of the area. And we can’t say enough about the staff—they were warm, attentive, and made us feel incredibly well taken care of throughout our stay. We’d return in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

One of our favorite accommodations during our trip through Sri Lanka. It is a short walk from the main station away from the noisy center and at the end of a more quiet street right be the jungle. It offers a super comfy communal terrace/chill area which is decorated with a lot of personality and attention to details. From there you can watch the nature in front of you and might even catch a glimpse of the giant squirrel or other exotic animals. The room we had was cozy and very clean. Had a great night's sleep there while listening to the sounds of nature. Highlight of the place is the host Angelo, who is just an overall awesome person and who went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Whether it's the chocolate cakes and tea upon arrival, serving us huge mountains of Sri Lankan breakfast every morning, letting us shower in an unoccupied room after we came back from a hike while already checked out or filling up our 5 liter water container before leaving, we really couldn't have asked for more. On top of that we had some nice conversations and received helpful recommendations. Thanks a lot for the great hospitality and hope to seeing you again.

We LOVED everything! The view of the bridge and the jungle were absolutely stunning! It was a short walk down to the bridge if you wanted to get on the tracks which was great. The room itself was absolutely perfect. All of the amenities we could have asked for and you could tell it was very new. It was also a short tuk tuk ride into town when we wanted to do some shopping, and our host was so generous to give us a ride when we needed. The family that hosted couldn’t have been any sweeter, and we were so grateful for the time we got to spend there and the opportunity to have met them!!

Amazing stay! Devaka was really welcoming and friendly - and even picked us up after our long day of hiking and dropped us back off the next day! Great stop off for anyone doing the Pekoe Trail - we finished the day in Makulella/at Allimale Junction and got picked up from here (only 5 min drive). Delicious food too!

The property looked amazing and was very comfortable. Surrounded by nature on all four sides, literally woke up to the sound of nature every morning. The food prepared by the host and family is delicious - home cooked Sri Lankan food! Will definitely recommend. They were also very helpful in telling us what places to visit which should be private. Thanks ! A good future.

The Spice Lodge is a special place located within walking distance to Ella center. The family that runs the lodge are the kindest, most helpful people. The breakfast was delicious, and the dinner we had was the best curry we had on our trip. Highly recommended lodging.
