Astral Zone Cottage ELLA, hotel in Hali Ela

Boasting garden views, Astral Zone Cottage ELLA offers accommodation with a garden and a balcony, around 7.2 km from Demodara Nine Arch Bridge.

Lovely little hideaway. The owner kindly arranged for a tuk tuk to collect us from the train station.The cottage was so homely and well equipped with everything you might need. We loved the veranda where you could relax and enjoy the quiet view down to Ella. It was really cool to see the trains coming along the line as well ( there aren't that many trains!) The owners wife cooked us dinner and breakfast - both meals were traditional Sri Lankan and really delicious. This property is a real gem if you like an authentic and home from home experience.

Ella Nimal Nest Inn, hotel in Hali Ela

Offering mountain views, Ella Nimal Nest Inn is an accommodation situated in Ella, 5.6 km from Demodara Nine Arch Bridge and 49 km from Hakgala Botanical Garden.

I cannot say enough good things about our stay at Nimal Rest Inn. From the moment we arrived, Nimal, the owner, went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect for us, even though we made a last-minute booking. His warmth, kindness, and hospitality made us feel right at home. The location is fantastic—just a short walk to Ella town, where you'll find some of the best bars and restaurants in the area. Ravana Pool Club is only a 10-minute drive away, making it a convenient spot for both relaxation and exploring the town. The rooms were immaculate, comfortable, and well-appointed. One of the highlights was the fully stocked mini-fridge with drinks, beer, and more, something I've rarely seen, even in five-star hotels! It was such a thoughtful touch that truly enhanced our stay. Nimal’s wife is an incredible cook. We only had breakfast during our stay, but it was perfect both days. The meals were so delicious that we regretted not trying more of her cooking. Initially, we planned to stay for just one night but ended up extending our visit to two nights because of the exceptional hospitality we received. Without a doubt, I’ll be returning to Nimal Rest Inn whenever I'm in Ella. This place is a gem, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a welcoming, comfortable, and memorable stay.

Ella Dream Catcher Resort, hotel in Hali Ela

Ella dream catcher resort provides accomodation in Ella and has amazing views of mountains and fields around the property. The guest can see train climbing the mountain from the windows.

Walking to the main central area of Ella is via a short cut thru the train tracks. Am experience one should not missed. Lovely views and quiet area. Suited for adventure walkers who doesn’t mind the uphill. Otherwise, a fast tuktuk ride can take you to the accomodation within about 10 minutes. This can also be organised with the owner should you wish. Traditional breakfast was fab ! Staff were lovely. The Pekoe trail is worth a try and can easily be accessed without a need for a walking guide.
