“Happy homestay - easy to explore Ella”

We absolutely loved our stay in Ella! The location was perfect — close to everything, yet surrounded by peaceful nature. The view was simply breathtaking, especially in the morning with a cup of tea. The breakfast was fantastic — fresh, delicious, and made with love. But what truly made our stay special was the wonderful, kind-hearted family who runs the place. They made us feel so welcome and at home. And their little princess is just the sweetest! 💛 Highly recommended — we’d definitely come back!

Huge spacious room, close to the nine arch bridge. Fantastic breakfast, huge and different each day. The real star was little Julie, most adorable child in Sri Lanka. Nice to be high up in the mountain side above craziness of Ella. Plenty of great restaurants nearby so you dont need to go down to Ella if you prefer. I would highly recommend Eden cafe for dinner (try the Lampraith)

“Super nice! Recommended!”
We had a really nice time! The room is huge and clean (only blankets were a little bit stinky, it's understandable that are not washed everyday). Breakfast is delicious and rich, every day different! The hosts were very kind and helpful. The place is super close to Nine Arch Bridge (few minutes walking to get to the starting point) and Little Adam's Peak (around 15 min walking to get to the starting point). 25 mins walking to get to the centre of Ella. Very recommended!!!♥️

Beautiful setting with a very spacious room. The family were so friendly and welcoming and helped us with transport to Ella's Rock and for our onward journey. The breakfasts were amazing and probably the best we had on our trip in Sri Lanka. Would highly recommend this accommodation, one of our favourite places to stay 😊

Very quiet location 10 min walk to Nine Arch Bridge and close to Little Adam's Peak. Comfortable and clean room, very generous breakfast. The host and the family really helpful and kind, they prepared us an amazing typical local dish rice& curry. The host suggested the best Ayurvedic massage and organised transport to the city with their tuk tuk. We truly recommend this property!

Friendly and helpful owners. The room is big, very clean, and has a very good hot shower. Breakfast was wonderful. Also, we asked for a tea in the evening and it was beautifully served. Nice location with beautiful views and very close (walking distance) to the bridge.
