Perfect end of holidays

The best pillow I slept on in Sri Lanka! Such a great stay, everything was perfect and the view from the balcony was superb. The hostess cooked us great breakfast and we also had dinners there, delicious! Away from the busy hassle of all restaurants but still in walking distance.

Great homestay in Ella away from the busy town centre but still close enough :)

Amazing breakfast, super friendly host. Peace and quiet surroundings with only wildlife as background noise. Room was perfect and it has all the essentials, even a fridge! If you don't mind walking, the major tourist sights are about a 35 minutes walk away (to the start of their respective trails)

Very kind owner, beautiful balcony with an amazing view, outside of the city centre but not to far away. You can easily walk from there to the centre and the tourist attractions like the nine arch bridge. On our last day we had to leave very early and even got breakfast to go, very sweet. Would definitely come again :)

The accommodation is located outside the city center (10-15 min walk), but it offers great view from the front balcony. The breakfast was very good and the host was very kind and helpful.

Lovely friendly welcome and great breakfast, the room was fantastic and bed very comfy. It’s a bit of a walk to town but so worth it to have just a view of trees from the balcony, and very quiet at night!

The most lovely host in Sri Lanka! Provides delicious food and dinner if you need it! The rooms are very clean and big with a lovely balcony. The area is so peaceful, located just outside of town about a 15 minute walk but so peaceful.

A little gem in Ella. Clean, comfortable and just far enough from the busyness of the main street, but still within easy walking distance (although it is a bit of a hill into town). The host is lovely and the breakfast is delicious and very generously sized. Would not hesitate to stay here again.
