Offering a barbecue and views of the mountain, The 1964 Holiday bungalow is set in Ella in the Badulla District Region, 1.6 km from Demodara Nine Arch Bridge. Guests can enjoy the on-site restaurant. I wish I could rate it higher than 10. The place is located in a nice nature corner, overlooking hills covered with tea plantations. The owner absolutely goes out of his way to help you in every way imaginable. Food is great. Book right now, don't think twice!
