Clean and spacious room with comfortable beds. Property was a 10 minute walk into Ella town so very convient (just beware of big hill to walk into town). The owners were very friendly and have a tuktuk so took us to see various waterfalls for a very reasonable price and even woke up early one morning to take us to little Adam’s peak at sunrise. They even helped us to organise our onward travel to Kandy

Beautiful view, delicious breakfast and helpful family ❤️

Amazing family, very nice and helpful. Delicious breakfast. The men was very helpful, drove us to little Adam’s peak for sunset, pick us back up from 9 arch bridge. Another day he brought us to see waterfalls. Very good price with his Tuktuk. Thank you for your hospitality ❤️

Great location with a beautiful view over the valley and train passing by. The room was clean, with a fridge and coffee machine. Bathroom a bit old, but clean and with a bathtub. Breakfast was fantastic, the best we had in Sri Lanka ! The host couple went beyond needed ! Coffee, tea, lots of fruits, beautifully made eggs, tasty pancakes and a new curry with some soury pancakes every day! They were very friendly, arranged tuk tuks for us and transportation to new destination as well. Great value for money - would stay again.

The views here are absolutely incredible - in the jungle, you can even see the famous Kandy-Ella train pass by from the balcony. The bed was very comfortable, breakfast was lovely, and the hosts were super friendly and welcoming. The only small things to note are that the walls are quite thin and you can hear some cars from the road at night, which may be worth considering if you’re a light sleeper, although it didn’t bother us! Would stay again :)

Beautiful stay

Nice family owned business. What I liked the most was the kindness and hospitality of the hosts with any doubt and request we had. A place to come back. 🙂

Amazing stay

The room was clean, tidy and has all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The bed has a mosquito net, and there was a fridge and kettle for food and drinks. The most spectacular part of the property was the view - you can see the expanse of the valley and the trains that run by. It’s a short walk to town in a quiet area. The owners are incredibly kind, helpful and hospitable. Sugath arranged to take us to Diyaluma falls for a great price and even stopped along the way to buy us fruit. When the shop did not have the drink we wanted, he went out of his way to get it for us. Amazing hosts & highly recommend to stay with them!

We booked 2 rooms for 4 nights. The rooms are as the pictures show. New towels, clean good linen, mosquito net and a fan (we didn't use). We were also given a brand new matress that was delivered on our second day (It was very firm however I like it). The breakfasts were brought to us to have on our balcony (wow what a view, even saw the train pass by). The breakfasts were different each day and plentiful (we couldn't eat all that they provided). The family are really lovely, helpful, nothing is to much trouble. We WhatsApp messaged for communication and it was always answered quickly. Having the tuk tuk available to be dropped off/picked up was really useful. The property is close enough to walk into Ella which had plenty of restaurants and shops and the train station.

Overall great location, 10 min to train station and city center. Very peaceful, welcoming hosts. In our +3 weeks stay in Sri Lanka, we had many times issues with not having hot water. This wasn't the case with this accommodation. I recommend the accommodation.

Not the most relaxing experience

The view is nice from the balcony and you have the breakfast there, which is pretty delicious.

Very kind hosts - helped us with a taxi, also collected us from town and the train station in the rain in his tuk tuk (for a small fee). Delicious breakfasts with an incredible view on the balcony. Also had laundry service.
