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.

An absolute paradise! From the moment I stepped into the room managed by this wonderful family, I was captivated by the pristine cleanliness, attention to detail, and matchless amenities. The room not only met but exceeded my expectations – it was exactly as described, impeccably clean, and equipped with all the advertised facilities. A flawless blend of comfort and style awaited me. The hospitality was exceptional, and the breakfast was a delightful highlight, offering an exceptional blend of cultural foods. It's a true haven for anyone looking to book a place online with confidence. The family's warm hospitality, combined with the delectable breakfast, made my stay unforgettable. This hidden gem is now my go-to destination, and I'm already counting down the days until my next visit! What sets this place apart is not just the outstanding accommodations but also the tranquil surroundings. The room is situated in a nature-friendly environment, surrounded by calmness and devoid of any noise. Breathing in the fresh air made me feel incredibly serene, and the natural setting, reminiscent of a paradise in the middle of a jungle with a tea estate, added to the charm. The bathroom, designed to make you feel like you're in the middle of the trees, contributed to the overall calming ambiance. The hot water and water pressure were perfect, exceeding my expectations. The spacious room offered more than ample space, and the thoughtful inclusion of tea, coffee, and Nescafe added a homely touch. Additionally, there was even a checkerboard, providing extra entertainment. In summary, this place surpassed all my expectations, offering a serene escape with top-notch amenities and a warm family touch. Highly recommended for those seeking an unforgettable retreat!

We really liked the accomodation, waking up to the beautiful view from the terrace was amazing. Also the breakfast was tasty, and the staff very kind. When we were picked up to go to Yala Safari, we got sandwiches for the way and checked out at 3 a.m. Very kind, thank you!

We stayed at the small room, but to us it felt so cosy. The place is at walking distance of all the must see places in Ella, but quiet enough to get good rest. The owners and staff made us feel at home at all times and we truly enjoyed our conversations. Sri lankan breakfast with the view of Ella break was top!
