Wonderful experience! A beautiful family-run hotel overlooking the valley and hills, with the sound of a river nearby. The hosts are marvelous, exceptionally kind and welcoming, and were helpful throughout my stay, especially with helping me plan my time in town, and bus schedules for my onwards travel. They were even kind enough to drop me off at the bus station on my way out. The room was clean and spacious, with a comfortable bed. The view from the window and terrace is beautiful. And the town center is a convenient 5-7 minute walk away. The breakfasts were wonderful as well, with variety each day! Thank you so much for this wonderful experience!

Our favourite accommodation so far after 5 months in Asia! Beautiful location with stunning views from the balcony and not too far from town. Amazing hosts who went above and beyond to make sure we had a good stay, they helped us with rides into town, cooked delicious food, and even made us a packed lunch for our onward travels. Super comfortable beds and pillows. We stayed an extra night because we loved it so much. A great experience overall, definitely recommend.

Naadhika and her family were the perfect hosts. Absolutely polite, accommodative and helpful. Naadhika's mother made us delicious home cooked breakfasts and dinners. We were tired of eating outside food during our trip, so their food was a good healthy break for us. Naadhika's mom is an awesome cook. Their homestay was probably the best experience we had amongst the six other homestays we stayed during our two week trip. We rented their scooter for two days which they offered at a lower price than other commercial places. They even accommodated our request to extend our stay by one day at the last minute and modified their other bookings. Naadhika has a very pleasant personality and is always smiling and her mother is a lovely and sweet lady. If you're looking for a quiet, comfortable stay, and if this place is available, please book it right away. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here if I ever visit Ella.

Gorgeous place, so modern and the view's amazing! Felt so comfy and relaxed after that long drive. Peaceful and quiet, but just a 15-minute stroll to Ella town. The host was super friendly and helpful, and breakfast was great. She even packed us an awesome breakfast to go when we had to leave early for our train!

    Sri Lankan Breakfast. Brilliant location. 5 minute walk into main town and train station along the train tracks. Very clean, spacious room. Beautiful view of Ella rock and the valley below. Friendly owners, one is a guide for Ella rock and considerably cheaper than online prices.
