    We had a very good time there. The host was very hospitable and funny, he helped us with a lot of things for example transport, massage and other attractions.

    Very nice view from the balcony, absolutely amazing breakfast and very nice host! Located a little bit outside from the Main Street, but rather quiet.

    Nimal is the star of the stay - he will literally do anything you need to make Ella a highlight of your Sri Lanka trip. His breakfasts are amazing. The dogs are a lovely addition.

@nimal_nest_inn Located in the mountains, come and enjoy homemade breakfast with a view of little adams peak. It is lovely and peaceful up here and yet just a 15 min or 5min tuktuk down to Ella city and train station. You can hike to the popular attractions- nine arch bridge, Ella Rock, Little Adams Peak, Adams Peak and we can also organise day trips to some breathtaking waterfalls! We look forward to meeting you!
@nimal_nest_inn Hi! I'm Nimal. I welcome you to our little hideout in the mountains of Ella. I've been running this property for 3 years and I love going above and beyond for my guests to make sure they have the best and most personalised time here! I can recommend wonderful day trips with my driver, help with travel and train tickets bookings and I would also love to facilitate a sri lankan cooking class with you if thats something you would like!
