This is an exceptional accommodation option in Ella! Not only it has nice & clean room, excellent view but the owner is the person who’d make your stay! willing to help with everything, pick you up or drive within Ella in his tuktuk or even wake up in the morning with you to drive you to Little Adam’s peak for sunrise. And icing on the cake is the huge breakfast served right at your patio full of fresh fruits, local meals and hot coffee. We weren’t even able to finish it all :( Even though the accommodation is located a little bit further from Ella’s main street, thanks to the owner’s perfect care we didn’t even noticed. Thank you and hope to come back soon! 💚

This is my favorite place in Ella. It's cozy and comfortable, and there are only tea plantations and birdsong around. This is not the first time I have returned here and I plan to return again. The staff is very friendly and always ready to help. Panoramic Windows, the whole area is covered with flowers and very beautiful! I definitely recommend it to all my friends and not only. A friend also recommended this place to me.
