A very peaceful and beautiful location. Awesome view from the house. Hotel owner is very helpful. Hospitality was on a top level. He has helped us to arrange our trip for 2 days, provided a driver with tuk tuk and recommended the best places around. Breakfasts were very fresh and tasty. Accommodation is also pretty nice and spacious. We definitely want to come back here again. Thanks for everything!

Lovely place, situated 10 minutes walking to the main road but very quiet. Super nice, clean and confortable room. Angelo is the sweetest guy, always chatting and suggesting us things to do. He was very helpful and thoughtful. Definetly recommended.

EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING!!! The best place in whole Sri Lanka! The hosts are so helpful and nice! Very, very clean! The best view of the bridge! There is a path to the railway. Just 5 minutes and you are there! The breakfast was more than enough, very delicious and the fresh juice is presented like a cocktail 🍹

Nethsara cottage is absolutely gorgeous - beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and in a rural, quiet spot in the hills above Ella. Delicious breakfasts are served on the balcony that has amazing views of the valley and the Mahamevnawa Monastery in the distance. Madusha is a lovely host, organising tuktuks on our request. We were so sad to leave and couldn’t recommend it more!

Best stay ever!! Everything was amazing!! The extremely caring host, the comfortable great room, bed, lighting, amazing view to the train tracks and lush nature. We immediately felt like part of the family. Devaka has been showing us around his beautiful garden. He is generous, warm -hearted- a very great person! He got deep into our hearts. He brings the word "homestay" to another level- never have we felt so at home in such short time!! We got a tea from his own garden every day as well! The food is home cooked and of course also very delicious. It is the best authentic caring beautiful homestay ever in Sri Lanka

The room and the balcony both were spacious and very clean. Even though the room was close to the main road it had an isolated atmosphere and a great view. The room is very close to the Little Adam’s peak and Nine Arches Brige and a 15-minute walk to the center and the way to the center is walkable. The Sri Lankan breakfast Kamal served was one of the bests I had in Sri lanka. I highly recommend this accomodation!

The Spice Lodge is a special place located within walking distance to Ella center. The family that runs the lodge are the kindest, most helpful people. The breakfast was delicious, and the dinner we had was the best curry we had on our trip. Highly recommended lodging.
