Great view and helpful staff. We got a late breakfast and late checkout after hiking without any issues. It is within walking distance to the Ella center and still it feels as if you are in a remote place close to nature.

We stayed for 2 nights and had a great experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to answer our questions and assist us. The view from the balcony was absolutely beautiful, a perfect place to relax. Although the location is a bit far from the city, the property offers its own shuttle service to the center at any time you need, which was very convenient. The only small downside was that the room got a bit chilly in the evenings.

We had a wonderful time with such a lovely family! Warm welcoming and always with lovely attentions: fruit juices, tea, advices, tuktuk drives Also the food is amazing! 4 breakfasts and all were different and so good : hoppers, crepes, juices, fruits, burgers, Dahl, Rotti, noodles, toasts and more! The view is also amazing, we saw so many birds! After one week in Sri Lanka this is definetly the best guest house we have had so far. It is a bit far (walking) from the center but this is really not a problem. We highly recommend you to stay there We will miss it for sure

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.

We loved our stay in this accommodation. The room was very stylish, everything was quite new and nicely designed. The hosts are very friendly, and helpful even if they are not fluent in English. The breakfast was exceptionally delicious and each they it was slightly different. You can walk into the center in about 10-15 minutes. When it raines there will be some leeches. You need to climb some stairs to get to room but will be rewarded with a great view and also receive help with your luggage if needed. We would highly recommend this stay.
