We stayed here 1 night after leaving our last place early, and we were so glad we did! The owner was so welcoming and kindly served us a late dinner after our taxi was delayed. The food was delicious for both dinner and breakfast, and the view was amazing. The room was comfortable and very clean. Highly recommend!

A beautiful place to relax and rewind with a view

Apurvi Homestay is a bit away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Ella - which makes it a great place to enjoy a quiet and relaxing stay with an amazing view into the mountains, the waterfall in the distance and - most important - the sunrise directly from the balcony. The room is amazing - tastefully equipped with everything needed for your needs. The breakfast (and dinner if you choose to ask for it) very delicious, the perfect start into the day, exploring Ella and its surroundings. The host is a super attentive person, always smiling, always at your service, making this stay an overall exceptional experience

The best place to stay in Ella

We had an amazing stay, everything was perfect! The room was very clean and pretty, and the view from the balcony is beautiful. Melani is a great host, she makes sure you got everything you need and even can arrange you a tuktuk. Also, breakfast is so good. If we come back to Ella, no doubt that we will be staying here again! Thank you so much Melani for your hospitality

A peaceful, spotless homestay with stunning mountain sunrise views, a kind and accommodating host,

The room was immaculately clean and comfortable, with lovely, cozy beds that made our stay truly relaxing. One of the highlights was the gorgeous mountain view, especially at sunrise — absolutely breathtaking each morning. The private room offered great privacy and felt very peaceful. Overall, a wonderful property with beautiful surroundings and a great place to unwind. The homestay lady was absolutely lovely and very accommodating, striking the perfect balance of giving us space while also being there whenever we needed help. She made us feel welcome without being intrusive, which we really appreciated. Overall, a wonderful property with beautiful surroundings and a relaxing atmosphere.

Charming

The accommodation is set in the mountains about 30 minute walk (steep!) or short tuk tuk ride into Ella. The view is stunning. The room and bathroom was very clean and well appointed and Melanie was very sweet. She made good food and did our laundry and arranged tuk tuks for us on request.

Melani is an incredible host. She helped us with everything we needed. The food was delicious (some of the best we had in Sri Lanka!) and the views from the place are beautiful. The room itself was super comfortable and clean. We could even rent a scooter directly there, which was super convenient. Honestly, it’s a 20/10 experience, we wish we could have stayed longer!
