I loved that it was clean, spacious and that the food was excellent. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and couldn’t have been more helpful - even producing a hairdryer for me when my own wouldn’t work and providing a variety of different plugs in the room. They offer a laundry service which was so quick and efficient. We actually extended our stay here after feeling so welcomed! The hosts were also able to help us to organize tuk tuks and ensure that the price was reasonable in advance. Definitely one of my favourite places that I stayed whilst in Sri Lanka and would highly recommend to anyone.
Nothing!

The place was really nice and the staff very helpful. We booked this the day before as our pre-booked accommodation in Ella did not meet our needs. We got a large family room with our own outdoor area outside of the room. The complimentary breakfast was good and the dinner we had both evenings was very good! The place was quite and away from the busy Ella town.
The place is a bit far away from Ella town and you need some transportation. We had a driver so that was not an issue for us.

A comfortable place with great staff, who make you feel homely. Perfect location. Not in the hustle bustle of Ella town but just a stone throw away. Chathur and Akil were always around ready to help and guide. Hats off to these guys and Mr. Malinda, the owner for ruining a great show. Cheers!!
