The apartment is located about 15 minutes by foot from the town center and is a very picturesque walk. The room and bathroom are quite spacious. The view from the big balcony is amazing (waterfalls!).

Great view and abundant breakfast, nice service. The garden and the nature around are stunning. The toilet is modern and there's hot water. We were alone there as we got the only room on the floor up their house, it's nice to be on the balcony having breakfast and looking at the nature around.

Bugs can come in from under the door so we had a couple big ones. The road to get there is bumpy and it feels a bit far. The thick blanket for the night didn't seem fresh.

The owner is lovely and she makes great breakfasts too. Dinner is available on request. Easy access and very peaceful. It's maybe a 15 minute walk to Ella centre. Once you reach the railway tracks if you cut along them it's a good short cut. Don't worry everyone walks along the tracks here. And it's also a very nice and pretty walk. As with anywhere outside of Ella centre you'll need your phone's torch if you're walking at night as there's not much street lighting. If you ask the owner she can show you a different short cut along the tracks to Ella rock too! There are two rooms. Downstairs is a nice budget room and upstairs is a very spacious family room with a great balcony.

All good.

The host is very discret and nice. She cooked a nice and good priced chicken rice and curry for dinner. Breakfast was ok. The room is big, no aircon. The matresses are super comfy. The shower is big, clean with hot water. You are in the middle of the jungle with all the nature noise, the monkeys playing in the trees, the squirrels and birds all around. Walkable distance from the bus stand and all the restaurants/shops...(we did it with 2 young kids so it's doable for everybody!)

If i had known i would have stayed longer. The breakfast could be a little bit "more"...

Fantastic value for money! Great breakfast. Spacious room with everything supplied. Really lovely host who was easy to communicate with. Highly recommended. It is about 1.5km walk along waterfall road to town down a quiet street - we really enjoyed the walk - but it might not be for everyone. We also did a lovely walk along the train line (from just near the homestay) to the waterfall. Would definitely stay again.

This is a really lovely homestay! It is clean and comfortable and a wonderful haven oasis in the jungle, away from the hectic main road of Ella town. This is not a 5* luxury hotel, it's a clean and comfortable room part of a family's home. It is a little walk - 20 minutes on hilly bumpy road - from the main town, but for me it was perfect. You are already on the way to climb ella rock! I really enjoyed my stay here.

Very nice and positive family, smiling all the time. Very helpful and supportive. They arranged for us really nice tuktuk trip to tea factory and njne arch bridge - we really recommend it! Delicious breakfast and laundry. They help us to navigate to Ella rose and other sites. Thanks you for such positive stay!

Leaking sink in toilet, which was repaired, but still water was leaking.

We had a self contained bedroom and en suite that looked out over the jungle and sun rise. We were the only guests. The breakfasts were superb. Chandrika is a wonderful host. Great value for money. A 15 minute up & down walk to centre of Ella that keeps you fit and it’s beautiful walk with views of Ella Rock and a waterfall too.

Loved it all - it’s great value for what you are paying!!

Very well located homestay. The room is basically on top of the family home and entirely separate, a big bedroom with two double beds, a big bathroom and terrasse area around with garden views, which you got to yourself and where you will eat the delicious home-cooked traditional Sri Lanka breakfast and maybe also the like so dinner. The food is delicious, so apart from one night, where I went for a cooking class, I ate in for dinner too, and Sharuka, the mother of the family, should definitely do cooking classes too, because her food is just way tastier, than the food cooked in the best reviewed cooking class in Ella. Incredible value for the money in this place and the family are so sweet. Also Waterfall Road is a good location in Ella, because you are away from the business and noise of Ella center, but still are within walking distance to all the great attractions of this town, as for instance basically located right in the middle of Little Adam's Peak and Ella Rock. So much to see here, by the way, so I did not even feel, that my 10 days at Ella Sunrise were even a day too much, also thanks to the very sweet hosting family, and by the way also friendly neighbors.

For me it is not so much a dislike as a suggestion for improvement: All over Sri Lanka there is a problem with street dogs, also in this area. I love dogs though and it was a great experience for me too, that a handful of dogs came by every day saying hello and begging for leftovers. If you are afraid of dogs though, this place may not be for you though, but the owner could solve that pretty easily, by simply gate the terrasse, so the dogs can't get in to the terrasse, where you eat. These street dogs are however very friendly and no problem

It is a really nice homestay a little outside of Ella. It is basic, but clean and comfortable. A bit outside of Ella, in the jungle (monkeys, squirrels :) ) , but only about 10minutes away if you walk next to the train tracks (there are stairs close that take you to the train tracks). Good breakfast and friendly owners.
