This was one of my favourite accommodations in Sri Lanka. The room and the balcony were very beautiful and comfortable. But the best part was the incredibly nice and thoughtful hosts, who were always available to help and make sure the stay is as comfortable as possible. And not to forget the amazing food! Breakfast was massive and delicious, and I had one of my best meals in Sri Lanka for dinner. It is located right on the main road, which makes it very accessible, but you can hear the vehicles passing. It is about 20min walk or short Tuktuk (which the hosts will be happy to help organize) to the center. I would stay again if I ever come back!

The entirely wooden home was an amazing sight and the view was even better. We arrived in the evening and woke up to a spectacular sight hearing the river/waterfalls down below. Absolutely stunning. The family that runs Wood Palace is amazing and has been great in accommodating us with anything we needed during our stay, first making arrangements for me as I was planning to propose to my girlfriend and later whilst our son got sick. The amazing starry nights from the balcony and fireflies lighting up the view topped it off. It’s located a little outside of Ella (5min drive) which made it very peaceful and quiet. The owner has a TukTuk and can bring you anywhere you need very quickly. Would definitely recommend! Thank you for a very memorable stay

The view from the room is breathtaking. Breakfast at the balcony with the waterfall view is superb. The overall service is good and there’s a lot of privacy as you get the room all by yourselves. Everything else is new and well maintained.

Sri Lankan Breakfast. Brilliant location. 5 minute walk into main town and train station along the train tracks. Very clean, spacious room. Beautiful view of Ella rock and the valley below. Friendly owners, one is a guide for Ella rock and considerably cheaper than online prices.
