The way to the homestay is quite treacherous, tuk tuks charge 800-1000 to and from there, and Pickme doesn't work in Ella. Also, do not rent a scooter from the family, they supplied an absolute dated unit that could barely get me and my gf up the hill. We returned it and rented a proper motorbike downtown, it pays off if you're planning on driving around the highlands.

A truly spectacular location, straight out of a movie. Looking at the very beautiful waterfall while having breakfast or just hanging out on the porch, stunning peacocks casually flying up to the tree and chilling on a branch, all sorts of lovely bird songs... Other than that, the family was quite nice, the breakfast was decent, the room was spacious (with both a king and queen-sized bed, I guess to accommodate families), and far enough away from the commercialized cesspool that is Ella.

It's a house in a privileged setting, but the best thing about it is undoubtedly the host's attention. She welcomes you as if you were family and takes care of you throughout your stay. She also provides all the help you need to have a wonderful experience in Ella.

The view from my balcony was gorgeous, the staff were so friendly, and the room was so clean. Everything was perfect. I have been in this country for almost 1 month, and this place was the best hostel!

Water pressure was not perfect, but fine for me. It is a lil walk from town, but as long as you stitch to the railways there‘s no dusty up and down! Nothing that made my stay less worthy tho! Totally enjoyed staying in the peace of nature!

Priceless views from balcony/room and breakfast location!! Breakfast was delicious and a lot for only one. Room was clean and as pictured, hosts very kind and helping out if in need, definitely recommend!

Nice room with the view on the waterfall. Great for people who love to be in the nature. Great breakfest as well as dinner. 10 mins walk to the city centre.

Lovely location away from the bustle and noise of central Ella but only a 10 minute walk away

Water pressure was weak, but good enough to take a shower)

Very beautiful experience. Great view, great energy of the place, very nice owners, great meals. I travelled with the group and the room upstairs was just freshly built with an amazing view and a great value.

Wifi didn't always perform a 100%, and the shower was sometimes cold during the day.

Most amazing view from the room I've ever experienced. The host is truly amazing, helped us out a lot and she cooks delicious meals. Location was comfortable. A short walk to city centre, but far enough so you'll be out of the Ella-hectic.

Everything was amazing!

Wow, this has been our favourite homestay during our month in Sri Lanka. It is 15 minute walk from the centre of Ella but the walk is 100000% worth it! The lovely family cook you a fantastic breakfast that you can eat with the view of the spectacular waterfall, we had peacocks land on the branches outside our room, the bed and pillows were comfy and the shower is the best I’ve had in Sri Lanka, so hot and powerful!

Can’t think of anything.

The views from the room are incredible to wake up to in the morning. The food served in the restaurant are great and the family are kind and welcoming. I really recommend this place if you love to be somewhere quiet in nature but not too far from the city.

I was recovering from a sinus infection and found Ella overwhelming. This was the perfect spot to rest, read and enjoy the incredible view. Lovely homemade breakfast, kitchen to use and very sweet host family.

Amazing place with a view of the waterfall, surrounded by nature. Great rooms and mattresses. The best host and her breakfast, recommended in all respects. Thanks for a great stay.

Peacocks seemed to land on the roof which sounded slightly like it was going to fall apart.. However after we mentioned it they moved us to a different room instantly. So definitely not a big a complaint whatsoever.

Amazing location, albeit not the closest to town.. One of the nicest views you'll get from a hotel with out spending a fortune.

You wake up in front of the waterfall! Beautiful and clean place 🧡
