One of the most unforgettable stays I've had in my life. The lodge is beautifully nestled in the jungle, yet surprisingly, it's only a 5-minute walk to the city and train station. The room is well-equipped with everything you need, and Angelo, the host, will go out of his way to cater to any special requests you may have. Speaking of Angelo, he's an incredibly kind and helpful soul who embodies the spirit of a perfect host. He makes you feel welcome and at ease with his charming demeanor. His willingness to go the extra mile to ensure your stay is comfortable and enjoyable is truly commendable. If I could, I would book with Angelo exclusively for all my future stays. In short, this lodge is a hidden gem, and I feel fortunate to have experienced it. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable stay.

Great location as it is only 500m from the train station which is 2 stops from Ella. Beautiful view over the garden and hills beyond. Very quiet. No traffic noise. The room was spotlessly clean with plenty of hot water for the shower. Delicious home cooking. But above all else our host and his family made us feel so welcome. Our host helped us plan a fantastic few days. He is completely fluent in English which made all the arrangements go so smoothly.

A wonderful stay here - the good reviews are completely justified. The view is jaw dropping from the comfy balcony. It is well worth it to stay here out of the noise of Ella and be able to look at it from the hills. They also provide a tuk tuk service into town for very reasonable. The family was wonderfully relaxed and friendly while still helping you with anything you need (and they collect you from the train station!). The dinner here was the best we had during our 2 weeks in Sri Lanka - don’t skip it!

The breakfast was amazing. We could choose from different menus, Sri Lankan and continental, and had everything we need. The Treehouse was perfectly decorated, had a great view and was very spacious. All the trees around gave us a real jungle feeling! The staff was amazing and helped us out with everything. The yoga class was easy to book and we enjoyed it very much, especially the view during the yoga session! We had our own Wi-Fi router in the villa so it worked without problems. Would definitely recommend this hotel for a great stay in Ella!

This is hands down the most beautiful accommodation we've ever stayed in! The wooden house is newly built, super clean, and looks like a Pinterest dream. The beds are insanly comfy, we were looking forward to sleep every night. The views are breathtaking: you get a nice panorama, even higher than Little Adam’s Peak! Watch the sunset from the balcony and the sunrise from the other side. Breakfast is incredible, made with so much love and attention to detail. The best dhal we've had in Sri Lanka! Lakshan is the sweetest person ever, always helping with great tips for exploring the area. He and his family take such good care of the guests—it feels warm, familiar, and welcoming. He even organized a free tuk-tuk pickup from the train station and helped with our luggage up the last 100m of the steep rocky path. If you’re hesitating because there aren’t many reviews yet—don’t! It’s just because the place is new. 100000% recommend! We loved every second and would come back in a heartbeat.
