Peaceful place. I enjoyed very much watching birds from the balcony. During our 7 days stay, I saw giant squirrels, grey hornbill, Sri Lanka white-eyes, eagles, chipmunks and of course monkeys:) Having lunch and dinner(5 to 7 dollars per person, omakase concept, cooked with fresh and seasonal food, more expensive if you opt for meat dishes) on the balcony was also such a pleasure. Home cooked food was not just fresh and tasty, but also very generous(compared to nearby restaurants). Meal also came with complimentary salads, a bottle of water, fresh fruits and cinnamon teas. Should have stayed longer.

The property could not have been in a better location for our stay - right beside the start of the trail to Nine Arch Bridge, and a short walk from Little Adam’s Peak too. The centre of Ella town was also less than 10 minutes walk. Upali was the kindest host, and couldn’t have been more helpful. Breakfast every morning was delicious - the best coconut roti we have had on our trip 😄 would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone!!

What a lovely place! Great communication and the staff were super lovely. They went out of their way for us, and provided a great tuk tuk service into Ell. The room was huge with a large balcony and beautiful view. The breakfast was so good, one of the best we had in Sri Lanka.

The hosts, father and son, were very friendly and welcoming. On arrival, I was served tea and cookies. The room was clean, neat and the terrace overlooked a beautiful view of the mountains. Breakfast was served in front of my room on the terrace and was good. Each morning I was served fresh juice with my breakfast.

we were flabbergasted by the view at ella gap from the rooftop. crew was amazingly helpful. they drove our tuktuk up to the guesthouse because we didn’t dare to drive the steep hill. hilltop is away from the busy and loud mainstreet. superquiet allthough 5 minutes from the centre. our host gave us the perfect advice to get around.

Really great location just up from the high street in quiet area. Pleasant terrace outside room with place to relax. Good hot shower with good pressure. Large bed and friendly host who offered lots of travel advice. No aircon in room, but air cooler in room was sufficient
