Evertlything about this place was to our satisfaction. Comfortable bed,pillow and quietness.The room though not big was spacious enough and we didn't feel cramped.The breakfast was excellent and varied and seved on the balcony at your convenince where you can enjoy the most awesome scenic view of the mountains. It truly is a wonderful sight even on a cloudy day. The staff too were eceptionally friendly and helpful and assisted us on a few occasions. The location too is very convenient for town and 9 arch bridge and little Adam's peak are both within walking distance. This place really suited our needs perfectly and as we plan to visit Ella again we are sure to stay here. Well done to the management of this place for giving their guests excellent value for money.

Naadhika and her family were the perfect hosts. Absolutely polite, accommodative and helpful. Naadhika's mother made us delicious home cooked breakfasts and dinners. We were tired of eating outside food during our trip, so their food was a good healthy break for us. Naadhika's mom is an awesome cook. Their homestay was probably the best experience we had amongst the six other homestays we stayed during our two week trip. We rented their scooter for two days which they offered at a lower price than other commercial places. They even accommodated our request to extend our stay by one day at the last minute and modified their other bookings. Naadhika has a very pleasant personality and is always smiling and her mother is a lovely and sweet lady. If you're looking for a quiet, comfortable stay, and if this place is available, please book it right away. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here if I ever visit Ella.

Gorgeous place, so modern and the view's amazing! Felt so comfy and relaxed after that long drive. Peaceful and quiet, but just a 15-minute stroll to Ella town. The host was super friendly and helpful, and breakfast was great. She even packed us an awesome breakfast to go when we had to leave early for our train!

Very nicely appointed room, lovely bathroom and deck on which breakfast is served. Great location opposite track to nine arch bridge and close to walk to little Adam’s peak and far enough from town to avoid noise from pubs/clubs. It’s less than 15 min walk to town. Uphill walk back. Breakfast was great and the hospitality wonderful the owner gave us a ride to the railway station on departure which was so nice of him. Highly recommended

We have had a great stay at this unique location. It is a lovely and hospitable family who welcomed and served us very well during our stay. The owner was always there for us and helped us with recommendations in the area and offered laundry service. The breakfast is amazing, and served at your chosen time with stunning view. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable! There is no a/c but this was also not needed (22 in the night time) We highly recommend staying here!

Superb experience ! We highly recommend this accommodation. The location is ideal (surely one of the best views of Ella), the facility is modern, clean, practical and well furnished. Everything is done to make you feel at home. More than just a place to stay, it is also the opportunity to meet incredible hosts. Our three hosts have always been kind, thoughtful, interested in knowing more about us, and willing to share their experience / recommandations of Sri Lanka. The service level is a 10/10 ! In addition, pet lovers will also have the opportunity to meet two adorable dogs, always happy to greet visitors. Not a problem though if your are less inclined to meet dogs as they do not share the same area of the house.
