The location, very value for price! The family that runs it, they are always smiling and helping you. They took us to the bus station with the Tuk Tuk and helped us on how to get to Yala by bus. The view from the terrace is stunning!

This was one of my favourite accommodations in Sri Lanka. The room and the balcony were very beautiful and comfortable. But the best part was the incredibly nice and thoughtful hosts, who were always available to help and make sure the stay is as comfortable as possible. And not to forget the amazing food! Breakfast was massive and delicious, and I had one of my best meals in Sri Lanka for dinner. It is located right on the main road, which makes it very accessible, but you can hear the vehicles passing. It is about 20min walk or short Tuktuk (which the hosts will be happy to help organize) to the center. I would stay again if I ever come back!

A beautiful place surrounded by greenery and the wonderful sounds of nature. It’s just a 10-minute ride by tuk-tuk or scooter to the center of Ella. The room is spacious and clean, with hot water in the shower. The family running this place is absolutely lovely and very helpful. You are always in touch with the daughter, who patiently answers every question and helps organize anything you might need. The breakfast is local, large, filling, and very tasty. The property is currently being expanded, and more rooms will be available in the future, but for now, there is just one. However, it definitely has great potential, and it’s a must-visit to experience the local atmosphere and meet incredibly kind, friendly, and smiling people. I highly recommend it!

It’s a new accommodation just 5 min outside Ella in nature. Which is good cause Ella was too busy for us. The room has its own balcony, there was some coffee and tea in the room and the shower was amazing. Lovely big bed, which was great as well as my husband is super tall. The man who checked us in and made us breakfast was an absolute champ, so friendly! The breakfast was the best we had in Sri Lanka! Fresh roti! Thanks so much! We had a lovely stay!
