Lovely cottage style room with a everything you need. Great value for money. Best view of Nine Arch Bridge in Ella. Nihal and his beautiful family are locals who built and run the place. He will drive you anywhere you want to go in his tuk tuk and his wife makes a great local breakfasts. About 10 mins drive to town which means there's no noise from the loud streets and bars.

Very nice and clean accommodation with a great terrace and view. The accommodation looks relatively new and very well made. The beds are very comfortable and there is even hot water in the shower if you wait a bit. Breakfast was very large, varied and delicious, the owners even cater to individual wishes and are very kind. One of the best accommodations we have stayed in Sri Lanka!

We had a amazing stay here, the rooms are very new, good water pressure and very clean. You can enjoy a nice view from the balcony. The owner is a great host, and loves to show you around his garden, and have a good chat with you. Definitely recommend this place. Thank you again for the unforgettable stay!

This property is simply magical. Although it is a bit of a splurge, it’s definitely worth it. The retreat is super peaceful and the decor is lovely. Breakfast was great. Staff is super friendly. Location is also amazing, within a 5-10min walk from all the restaurants. We definitely recommend staying here!

The views from our balcony were stunning, the sunrise and mountains are breathtaking. The staff are super friendly and helpful, they even prepared an early breakfast for us as we had to check out earlier than usual (my daughter loved the sandwiches they have prepared). Am not sure how does the other rooms look like but try to book the room where the bed is up stairs and has a balcony and a jacuzzi.

This is hands down the most beautiful accommodation we've ever stayed in! The wooden house is newly built, super clean, and looks like a Pinterest dream. The beds are insanly comfy, we were looking forward to sleep every night. The views are breathtaking: you get a nice panorama, even higher than Little Adam’s Peak! Watch the sunset from the balcony and the sunrise from the other side. Breakfast is incredible, made with so much love and attention to detail. The best dhal we've had in Sri Lanka! Lakshan is the sweetest person ever, always helping with great tips for exploring the area. He and his family take such good care of the guests—it feels warm, familiar, and welcoming. He even organized a free tuk-tuk pickup from the train station and helped with our luggage up the last 100m of the steep rocky path. If you’re hesitating because there aren’t many reviews yet—don’t! It’s just because the place is new. 100000% recommend! We loved every second and would come back in a heartbeat.

    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.
