“Peaceful, relaxing quiet, clean and welcoming cottage.”
This place was exceptional for me. First off I was met at train station and taken to the cottage. From the road you need to navigate some very steep stairs which were no problem for me. The cottage has such a beautiful view looking across to the mountains and down to fields where rice and vegetables are grown. Also the jungle is part of the view. The cottage is large comfortable and has a mosquito net. The bathroom is also large. The breakfast is amazing and being gluten free it was so good and way too much! Nirmala was so helpful.

“Beautiful view, great host and delicious breakfast”
The host was great! He gave us tips what to do, arranged tuktuk to the city and taxi to our next destination for a good price. The property's location is remote from Ella which means it is quiet and with a great view. The place is clean and well equipped with everything needed for a short stay, stable WiFi and hot water in the shower. Breakfast was huge and delicious. Different every morning (we were there 3 days). Just next to it there is good place for having a dinner.

“The best view in Ella”
The view was stunning, the place is immaculately clean, and very comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Our host was incredibly kind and helpful, always making sure we felt welcome. The location was perfect for exploring the area, peaceful yet close to great hikes and food. The home cooked breakfast was spectacular!!!! Will come back for sure!

“Beautiful panoramic view”
The location, away from the bustle of Ella was very peaceful. The breakfasts were massive and excellent. The steps down to the room were a bit of a challenge. You really need to be steady on your feet. However, the host carried our cases for us and was generally extremely helpful and attentive.

The owner is a warm-hearted gentleman, exceptionally friendly and genuinely caring toward his guests. From the moment we arrived, he made us feel welcome and at home. Every morning, he prepared breakfast tailored exactly to our preferences, always served with a smile and a kind word. The property itself offers a stunning view, the kind you could happily spend hours admiring, and from time to time, playful monkeys make a surprise visit, adding a unique charm to the experience.

I really enjoyed my stay at Ice Age Cottage. The host made me feel very welcome and comfortable, and the breakfasts were delicious. I even had an issue with my mobile phone, and it needed repairs . He took me straight to a repair shop it the morning, where it was immediately fixed. I was so thankful. The view from the balcony is also stunning. I highly recommend staying here 😊

“A Wonderful Stay in Ella!”
We had an amazing time at the Ice Age Cottage. The host was extremely friendly and helpful, organizing a tour to the Diyaluma Falls for us, which was unforgettable. Every morning, we were treated to a different homemade breakfast, which truly elevated our experience and made our stay even more special. The cottage is cozy and well-equipped, and the view from the private balcony is simply stunning. There are also several excellent restaurants within walking distance, and it's quick and easy to reach the town center by Tuk Tuk. A perfect, peaceful retreat in Ella. We highly recommend it!
