Amazing views up in the mountains was very secluded. We stayed there for my Boyfriends 30th Birthday which I informed them of before arrival and upon arrival there was a cake and balloons on the bed which they didn't charge me for it was so lovely. The breakfast was huge, we got the sri lankan breakfast on both mornings and it was basically a 3 course meal. We were down by the main pool one day and they brought us some delicious juice. We also had lunch there one day which was freshly made. It's a little far out of town but they run a free tuk tuk service so it's not really a problem.

There is a private entrance at the homestay for the convenience of those who stay. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi.

I'd like to first of all commend the owner and hostess of the villa. She was always all smiles, helpful and made sure you had an amazing stay with them. They offer free cooking lessons and do laundry services for cheap too! The villa is situated on a hill and would take you a few stairs from the bus stop to get to them; its centrally located as well, very close to all the restaurants, cafes, and convenience stores. Also a walking distance to Ella train station. I had a spacious room where the big and comfy bed was placed next to their big windows facing the greenery and the mountains, it was absolutely nice and cozy! Would highly recommend this place 10/10
