Ella Rock Grun Cottage

Traumhafte Aussicht, Besitzer super nett, engagiert, die einem jeden Wunsch erfüllen. Perfekter Ausgangspunkt zum Ella Rock

Die Gastgeber und ihre Hilfsbereitschaft und das idyllische Rundherum, einfach grandios und einzigartig

Kröte im Bad unterwegs, spinne haben wir selbst entfernt..die Sauberkeit mit den Tieren war halt nicht so toll,aber wir haben es schon lösen können.😁

It was in the middle of the jungle in a very calm area next to a river. I can’t remember when I was feeling so peaceful and calm for the last time. A bit tricky to access, but very well organized and helped by the host. It’s just two rooms, so we were staying just us. The host and his wife were amazing. They helped all the time and were very kind and respectful. They helped us with everything and made amazing Sri Lankan breakfast. Also the Kottu is highly recommended to try 🤗 thanks for the amazing and peaceful stay.

Everything was great!

We were lucky to start our Sri-Lanka trip from this place - it was such a nice introduction to the beauty of the nature, local people, their hospitality and traditions! The house is away from the road, surrounded by tea hills, rice fields and the jungle and its sounds. The hosts are a young couple, Dumindu and Nethmi - very modest, sweet, attentive, helpful and always smiling! And they cook like the gods! Very simple and extremely tasty! Dumindu also knows everything about local plants and how they can be used in Ayurveda. It was so interesting to learn from him the things which people from the local village transfer from old generations to the young ones! And the more questions you ask, the more you learn. The house has only 2 guest rooms, it is a lovely and very comfortable jungle house, and that’s why it is perfect - don’t expect it to be a western type of hotel. Here you feel more like you are a part of the family, not just a hotel guest. Some practical things: Ella cottage is on the way to Ella Rock, so you can be the first at the rock for the sunrise))) it is also just 10 min walk (in the railway track) from Kithalella train station - very easy to buy train tickets and take the iconic train, which you can stilly see from the house 3 times a day. Buy the third class for the full experience and don’t forget to stop for food and juices at the River Face Restaurant Ella - delicious! Many thanks to Dumindu and Nethmi for our unforgettable experience at Ella Rock Grun Cottage and butterfly pea tea magic❤️
