Ice Age Cottage

This place was exceptional for me. First off I was met at train station and taken to the cottage. From the road you need to navigate some very steep stairs which were no problem for me. The cottage has such a beautiful view looking across to the mountains and down to fields where rice and vegetables are grown. Also the jungle is part of the view. The cottage is large comfortable and has a mosquito net. The bathroom is also large. The breakfast is amazing and being gluten free it was so good and way too much! Nirmala was so helpful.

I loved it all. It felt like home.

Wir waren 3 Tage in Ella. Das alle erste, was uns sehr gefreut hat, war das Abholen auf unsere Anfrage mit Tuk-tuk vom Bahnhof. Sehr nett! Der Host: er ist wirklich klasse, sehr nett, sehr bemüht und aufmerksam. Hat unsere Koffer runter (einige steile Stufen) und hoch selbst geschleppt. Frühstück: Unschlagbar! Wirklich! Jeden Tag was anderes, direkt auf der Terrasse mit dem tollen Blick serviert. Warmes Wasser vorhanden. Nach Ella ca 30 min zu Fuß oder Tuk-tuk für ca 800-1000 Rup. Ganz in der Nähe ein paar Restaurants und kleine Lebensmittel Läden. Viele Hotels/accomodations/rooms sind auf steilen Hängen. Dies bitte berücksichtigen. Bei ice age Resort sind auch ein paar Stufen zu bewältigen, was aber am Ende des Tages sehr gut tut.

Nichts!

The owner of the hotel is an incredibly helpful, friendly, warm-hearted, thoughtful, and hardworking gentleman. The hotel itself is magnificent. It is exceptionally clean, well-organized, and offers outstanding breakfasts. It is truly a wonderful place with the best view in Ella. It is truly a great value-for-money hotel. You can be sure that you will be happy staying here. You will feel as comfortable as if you were in your own home. If we come back, we already know where we will stay. Hope to see you again.

The host was great! He gave us tips what to do, arranged tuktuk to the city and taxi to our next destination for a good price. The property's location is remote from Ella which means it is quiet and with a great view. The place is clean and well equipped with everything needed for a short stay, stable WiFi and hot water in the shower. Breakfast was huge and delicious. Different every morning (we were there 3 days). Just next to it there is good place for having a dinner.

The staircase leading to the property is a bit steep, so something to keep in mind if you're coming with a big suitcase. If travelling lightly, it should be no problem.
