The stay had the best view of the main attraction in Ella i.e. Nine Arche Bridge. The room & bathroom was very clean and pretty. The food served was tasty & healthy. Host Nihal & his family were very humble and responsive. We loved our stay and completely recommend you to book this if you are traveling to Ella.

Nethsara cottage is absolutely gorgeous - beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and in a rural, quiet spot in the hills above Ella. Delicious breakfasts are served on the balcony that has amazing views of the valley and the Mahamevnawa Monastery in the distance. Madusha is a lovely host, organising tuktuks on our request. We were so sad to leave and couldn’t recommend it more!

The scenery within the property is breathtaking, like something straight out of Jumanji. Every tropical tree you can imagine, hills, running water and a rice pattie. The location was perfect for us, only a 10 min walk to Ella town but far enough that it felt like you were in the hills. The staff were a highlight, too. They go out of their way to make your stay authentic and pleasurable. Very, very nice people.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Miracle View. The cottage is spacious, comfortable, and very clean, with lovely beds and a great shower. Waking up with the truly stunning view each morning was a joy. The host is incredibly friendly and helpful. Every morning, a generous and varied breakfast was served, with something different each day. A real luxury to start the day. The house is located on top of a hill, which gives you those amazing views. It’s quite a challenging climb on foot, but the host was always happy to pick us up, even when we had our own tuk-tuk. For trips to the center, he also arranged a reliable tuk-tuk taxi without any trouble. All in all, a wonderful place to stay with a warm welcome, great facilities, and service that truly stands out. We would definitely come back.

Looking for a lodge?

    The Spice Lodge is a special place located within walking distance to Ella center. The family that runs the lodge are the kindest, most helpful people. The breakfast was delicious, and the dinner we had was the best curry we had on our trip. Highly recommended lodging.
