Wonderful location. Nice rooms with plenty of space for a family. The views from the pool and restaurant are fantastic. Location is a little bit of a drive from Ella (15 minutes in tuk tuk) but it rewards you with the most tranquil and nice place. Best breakfast I saw and enjoyed in our more than two weeks in Sri Lanka.

The entirely wooden home was an amazing sight and the view was even better. We arrived in the evening and woke up to a spectacular sight hearing the river/waterfalls down below. Absolutely stunning. The family that runs Wood Palace is amazing and has been great in accommodating us with anything we needed during our stay, first making arrangements for me as I was planning to propose to my girlfriend and later whilst our son got sick. The amazing starry nights from the balcony and fireflies lighting up the view topped it off. It’s located a little outside of Ella (5min drive) which made it very peaceful and quiet. The owner has a TukTuk and can bring you anywhere you need very quickly. Would definitely recommend! Thank you for a very memorable stay

This place is unbelievable. Perfect location to be away from traffic in Ella and the hospitality was outstanding. Brought us a bottle of wine for our honeymoon and made us tea every night before bed. Breakfast was delicious and all for a unbelievable price.

I'm glad we stayed outside of Ella, which was a heaving mass of tourists. The Cube's staff are wonderful, the facilities and the restaurant are great - but the room we had was fantastic. Really big, clean, comfortable, with a terrace outside. A great place to stay.

LOVED the view! So peaceful and quiet. Shann was the perfect host, friendly and hospitable. The food was delicious also, just be sure to order nice and early as it takes a while due to being cooked with love. We loved the fun and relaxed vibe, the music, the pool and the Sri Lankan game Carrom.

Amazing stay that was complemented by an amazing host! The pictures speak for themselves. You have a private and cozy room that overlooks the trees and the famous bridge. Despite being so close to this landmark, it feels private and away from all the noise of the center of Ella. The host genuinely went above and beyond and host I have ever met. He made us feel comfortable, helped us get around Ella, and provided us with an extragavant breakfast in the morning. Honestly, a very kind and generous human being. Would definitely come back to stay at this lovely location with this amazing host.

The view was amazing! Yes its out of town ( but the town isnt worth it,the view is!!) and the owner goes above and beyond to take you down the hill and up with his tuk tuk any time and even take you on tours! It was one of my fav stays in srilanka the view and breakfast was just unbeatable truly.

    We loved the Mountain View’s.

    We loved the Mountain View’s. The Main Street is a little crowded and all of the walkways are uneven. Everything is on a hill and there is a lot of walking . Stairs do not have handrails. The sites to see in the city are not easily accessible without transportation. Tuk tuk rides are very bumpy. Most of the tourists in the city are young . As an older traveler over 70, I would not recommend this location to an older adult unless you are very healthy and have good stamina for walking, heat, and bumpy rides.

    Ella is in the mountains so there is a lot of walking and lots of stairs and climbing. We saw young back packers as the majority of visitors. It was hot and humid so drinking water was very important. The tea plantation tour was good and informative. The arches trip involved a harrowing drive up a narrow bumpy road. Waterfalls were always full of people. The town is great with lots of dining options and great shops!

    The amazing and perfect nature around Ella is getting over exploited. Too many buildings (hotels in particular) are under construction in the delicate hills of Ella, they should protect the environment as the place will loose its magic if it becomes just some kind of shopping mall / tourist centre. The hotels are already enough, no need for more.

    Ella is truly one of the hidden gems of Sri Lanka.

    Ella is truly one of the hidden gems of Sri Lanka. Tucked away in the hill country, this charming little town offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, adventure, and relaxation. Surrounded by lush green tea plantations, misty mountains, and cascading waterfalls, it feels like stepping into a postcard. One of the best things about Ella is how laid-back and peaceful it is, yet there's so much to explore. Whether you're hiking up Little Adam’s Peak or the iconic Ella Rock, walking across the Nine Arches Bridge, or just enjoying a quiet tea with panoramic views, every moment feels special. The town itself is small but full of character, with cozy cafés, local restaurants, and friendly people. It’s also very traveler-friendly, making it easy to get around or find a good place to stay. And let’s not forget the cool mountain air—a refreshing change from the tropical heat in other parts of Sri Lanka. If you're planning a trip to Sri Lanka, Ella is an absolute must-visit. Whether you're a nature lover, a backpacker, or just someone looking to unwind in a scenic spot, Ella will leave you with memories you'll never forget.

    It's a beautiful place on top of the mountains, surrounded by mountains and clouds, just like in a heave. Food was delicious 😋 I can never forget the rice and curry bowl I had at Serenite. It's a perfect place for peace, that relaxes your senses. Ravana waterfall is a must to visit.

    Very friendly and vibrant town.

    Very friendly and vibrant town. The walk up Ella Rock is a must, but make sure you look at an online guide first. We got lost on the way up adding several difficult km's of walking. The trip out to Lipton's seat is worth it for the views along the way as well as from the seat itself. The train to NanuOya is also well worth the ticket price.

    Stunning hotel, the views are seriously incredible. I booked my mother a luxury room with a bath, our eyes almost misted over when we entered, the view and fit out was exceptional. Unfortunately we had a less expensive room in the new apartments which are lovely, offering everything you need but doesn't have quite that WOW factor. I would upgrade next time. Pool area is stunning, service fantastic and breakfast fabulous. Possibly the best coffee we had an Sri Lanka.

    Amazing views down through the valley. The staff were really nice and helpful. Everything was very clean - bedrooms and pool etc. The overall environment was very nice. Breakfast buffet was fantastic with a great variety of fruit, eggs, waffles, cereal, iced coffee and much more! Short walk in to Ella town. We really enjoyed this little treat of a spot, it’s slightly more expensive than places around but very worth it. Felt like a luxury stay in Sri Lanka.

    This place was just top notch! As someone who has been living in guesthouses/ hotels for the past two years this spot just has all you got. Private bungalow with an double bed, good hot shower and views all over Ella. Will and his family treat you like their own and not to begin with their free breakfast which has great variety everyday and everything is fresh out of his garden. All the best for your homestay and I can not wait to return to Ella!

    Exceptional views, close to town walking along the rail tracks which was fun. Great rooms with balcony, huge comfy bed and large bathroom, good breakfasts. Sitting on rooftop deck at sunset was great, plus being able to use the infinity pool next door at 1000 Rps was a luxury after walks.
