“Hideaway in nature”
Standing on the balcony feels like being in a national park. The accommodation is simple but very private and has all one needs. The host was very kind and breakfast was delicious and varied every day. It's a short walk to the city center using the shortcut along the train tracks.

“I want to live here!! Fantastic!”
Lovely clean & bright. Fantastic views! The shower is brilliant! The host Gheeta went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay, and even sorted a birthday cake out for my partners birthday with candles! Breakfast was great! Really lovely, all homemade and delivered to us on the balcony each morning!

“Amazing view”
Absolutely stunning place and landlady was very friendly. I was warmly welcomed and offered a tea. Amazing view. Breakfast was delicious. You are connected with a nature and only hearing the birds. And famous Ella train which passed once. The place was well designed and compared to many other expensive hotel chains it was far beyond of them.

“Beautiful quiet stay with the most amazing views of Ella!”
We loved everything about this place!!! The room was beautiful, even better than the photos. The views were absolutely stunning. The staff were so helpful and friendly. The breakfast was very tasty! Located in a quiet area but a short walk down the train tracks to Ella town, which is perfect! 10 out of 10 for everything, such a gem!

“Wonderful Stay – Great Value and Beautiful Views”
We really enjoyed our time at this guesthouse. It had everything we needed, and the view from the balcony was a highlight especially during the lovely breakfast in the morning. The value for money is excellent. Our room and bathroom were very clean and felt cozy and welcoming. The host was incredibly friendly and always happy to help with any questions we had. The location is perfect: just a short walk into town, yet it still feels peaceful and close to nature since it’s at the edge of the village. It’s also a great starting point for hiking to Ella Rock or exploring the train tracks. A really comfortable stay, we would happily come back!

“Quiet stay in a breathtaking environment”
Geetha was an amazing host and prepared the best breakfast we had in Sri Lanka. The room is beautiful and matches the environment, with wooden decor and some local touches. We woke up to the sound of birds chirping and wonderful mountain views. The accommodation is only 15-min walk away from the bustling shopping street but enjoyed the quiet environment up on the hill. Any tuktuk can take you up in case you are not willing to walk. Oh, and the wifi was the best we had during our trip in the country!
