Featuring a garden and views of garden, Rainbow Sky Cottage is a recently renovated homestay located in Ella, 6.5 km from Demodara Nine Arch Bridge. The property was built in 2021 and features accommodation with a terrace. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi.

Unfortunately my friend and I were not able to really enjoy the comforts of this place because we were so busy running around Ella. However, the homestay owners were the friendliest, the view was breathtaking, and I loved how quiet it was. The shower had hot water, the place was so clean (and so is the town!), and the beds with the mosquito net made me feel like a princess. Be mindful of animals.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Tea Cabins in Ella and I can confidently say it was an exceptional experience. From the moment I arrived I was blown away by the stunning location and all the nature view arround the place it was literally a breathtaking view. The cabin itself was beautifully designed and decorated offering a luxurious and comfortable stay. The room was spacious clean and well-appointed with all the amenities one could need. The highlight for me was the private pool overlooking the the whole mountains and tea plantation around you in addition to the suspended net where I spent many hours just taking in the view and listening to the sound of the birds. But what truly set Tea Cabins apart was the amazing staff. From the welcoming and attentive reception to the friendly and helpful team of employees the service was outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble and they went above and beyond to ensure I had a memorable stay. The food was also exceptional with each meal carefully prepared and presented showcasing the best of Sri Lankan cuisine. I especially enjoyed the rotti on breakfast were fresh and flavorful. Overall I would highly recommend Tea cabins to anyone looking for a luxurious cabin in the nature getaway with exceptional service and breathtaking views. It truly exceeded all my expectations and I can't wait to return.

    in short- Amazing! with all my heart. in detail- a small hotel with the BEST views we had from our bed in the entire Sri Lanka trip, overlooking the Ella Valley. the rooms with a balcony are worth the extra charge with an outdoor hot tub to top it. rooms are average size but more than enough, clean and cozy. the only downside is the weird electrical shower operator, but don't think too much about it :). breakfast is not buffet but a choice between English or Srilankan breakfast and both are more that we could finish.

    Tea Cabins allowed us to take in the unbelievable countryside around Ella. The views were incredible and we felt so lucky to stay here. The team couldn’t do enough for us, anything we needed was accommodated and the breakfast was amazing! This is not a negative but it’s worth being aware of - to gain this amazing serenity you do have to venture 15 mins by easily arranged tuk tuk. We wouldn’t have wanted to stay in Ella town itself but we still did plenty of the ‘must sees’ thanks to the amazing team.

    A delightful cozy cabin nestled in the hillside with a magnificent panoramic view over the famous nine arches bridge. Our host was so kind and helpful. He picked us from the station and provided transport for all our local excursions. Fabulous Sri Lankan breakfast and huge plate of fruit. Excellent shower with a nice view of the family tea plantation. Great WiFi connection. We couldn't have asked for more. Our favourite place to stay.

    We stayed only for one night but definitely would book again. Beautiful cosy cabin inside the forest, you can find some unbelievable views on the way there. Breakfast was absolutely delicious, room was clean, wifi worked well, there is also net against mosquitos. It's in walking distance to the centre, use the shortcut alongside the railway.
