Our corner room had a breathtaking view, and the owner took such wonderful care of us. She went above and beyond to make sure we were well looked after, arranged delicious extra treats, and even helped us find fair tuk-tuk drivers so we never overpaid. Truly exceptional hospitality!

The hosts are the most lovely people ever. They truly care about their guests and even prepared breakfast for us to go at 5.30am. The house is a bit out of town but the walk there in the evening is magical, surrounded by fireflies and nature you can walk down the street in easy 20min from town. Highly recommend :)

The view from our room was beautiful! We could see Ella Rock, and Waterfalls right opposite. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. The road to the cabin was an adventure by itself as we had our own tuktuk. The staff however offered us tuktuk rides to the main road and back. The breakfast was also very delicious and it was delivered to our room by our request. I highly recommend this accommodation!

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.
