We had a lovely stay here! The staff was absolutely welcoming and the room was very comfortable. We were greeted with a warm cup of tea, it was wonderful :) Their large garden is a great space to chill, and they also have a book exchange! Thank you :)

It is a one bungalow retreat surrounded by the rice paddies, a river that flows behind it and a small woodland on the side. Peaceful and authentic. You can walk to the village and say hello to the very friendly locals. We even got invited to their home for a glass of milk and a fresh king coconut. They even took us to a nearby Buttala where we had an ice-cream together. Sujeeva, the bungalow's caretaker did a wonderful job in making all the meals for us and taking care of the property. On the last day of our stay we had a medical emergency (my husband was feeling very poorly), and both the owner/manager of the retreat and Sujeeva did their best to help us with the transport to the hospital and onward travel to Ella. We will always remember our stay in this special place.

This place is the definition of a getaway. truly remote. Never thought I'd experience this side of Sri Lanka on this holiday. Very nature based, local food, got to speak to the people in the villages on how they cultivate their crops, went on a very scenic bike ride with friends in the evening with the best views. The RIVER! wow loved every bit of it. We spent around 3 hours here and had a final dip before leaving the next day too. The water flowing over the shoulders felt like a free spa treatment.

We really enjoyed our stay here! It was the ideal place to relax and recharge after the buzz of Arugam Bay, and a great base for a day trip to explore Ella. The place was spotlessly clean and super comfortable – we felt right at home. The hosts were so kind and helpful, offering tuk tuk services and even giving us clear pricing for transport andl tours. They also asked us each evening what we’d like for breakfast – such a lovely touch – and it was always fresh and delicious. The facilities were great, the vibe was peaceful, and we couldn’t fault a thing. Highly recommend if you want something welcoming, clean, and well-run!

We stayed for one night! We had a ball! It was my birthday and the staff couldn't have been nicer. They were extremely welcoming and made such a great effort in every way. I was surprised with a lovely decorated room (see pictures 🥺). We had the most incredible food which was served to us where ever we wanted to eat! Everyone was so accommodating! We had beers down by the pool and we had one of our best evenings over looking the mountains in Ella. The next morning we watched the sunrise and it was beautiful. We had a sunrise swim and loved every minute. We wish we could have stayed one more night. If you are looking to stay somewhere with beautiful views of the mountains of Ella this is the place. It is a little bit outside of Ella the actual town but for us it was worth the trip.

Amazing accommodation! Difficult to describe the beauty of the house itself or the surroundings. We stayed at the Deluxe Family Room which is a beautiful colonial apartment, part of the main house. Food was exceptional Room as well as the rest of the facility was very clean, location amazing, service was very professional and the manager one of the kindest people we have met. Highly recommended

    Nice place surrounded by beautiful paddy filled, adjacent river was another level experience since it was a perfect place to chill out after incredible tour of elephants and birds watching. We got easy access to one of the Yala gates. Thank for the Sri Lankan authentic breakfast, even host didn't charge for that. All good, highly recommended

    Buttala is a beautiful little city close to the northern part of Yala National Park. If you pass by (maybe on your way to/from the east coast), stop here and enjoy a couple of nights in the local homestays (we can fully recommend Yala Avian Eye Safari!!). Safaris from here are calm and you can enjoy the northern part without hundreds of other jeeps.
