We stayed at this accommodation in Ella for a few days, and its location is simply the best. We checked out other places in the area, but nothing compares to this one. The view is absolutely spectacular, and we feel so lucky to have had the chance to stay here. The people were wonderful, and the family who runs the place made us feel truly at home. The surroundings were filled with nature, animals, and beautiful sounds, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. This is, without a doubt, the most beautiful place to stay in Ella!

Location is 20/10!! Overlooks the Nine Arch Bridge. Comfortable little hideaway on the hillside. Owners were very helpful organising tuk tuk rides and providing a delicious Sri Lankan breakfast. Couple of tips for travellers. It is not the easiest place to get to but owner will help you get to the property from the main road. Also not ideal for anybody with mobility problems. But this did not affect our stay. 10 minutes tuk tuk ride into Ella Town and around 15 mins to Little Adam’s Peak. 15 minute walk down to the Nine Arch Bridge.

The location is amazing. Peaceful with great views, and close access to the railway line beneath. So it is a good starting point for climbing Mount Ella and seeing the waterfall. A nice walk along the tracks or the road into town, or a TukTuk is always ready to drop or pick you up. The breakfasts and dinners were delicious, they catered to my vegan preferences without hesitation. The room was new and clean and the view of the train track beneath is probably the best location in Ella. I loved relaxing on the balcony in the afternoons watching the train and walkers on the tracks.

Our favourite accommodation so far after 5 months in Asia! Beautiful location with stunning views from the balcony and not too far from town. Amazing hosts who went above and beyond to make sure we had a good stay, they helped us with rides into town, cooked delicious food, and even made us a packed lunch for our onward travels. Super comfortable beds and pillows. We stayed an extra night because we loved it so much. A great experience overall, definitely recommend.

The view from our room was beautiful! We could see Ella Rock, and Waterfalls right opposite. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. The road to the cabin was an adventure by itself as we had our own tuktuk. The staff however offered us tuktuk rides to the main road and back. The breakfast was also very delicious and it was delivered to our room by our request. I highly recommend this accommodation!

We loved everything about this place. The view is unreal and Vihanga is the perfect host - we cannot rate it highly enough. Vihanga was super attentive throughout our stay, he be helped to organise tuk tuks into town, provided a laundry service and gave directions for our treks.

What a stunning location and such a friendly and kind family! The rooms are absolutely stunning and the location genuinely unbeatable. You do have to be prepared to walk up and down a large flight of stairs to benefit from that beauty but it is totally worth it. The hosting family were extremely helpful, kind and thoughtful. We would not hesitate to recommend this place to any traveller looking for somewhere off the beaten track!
