Ella nine arch spice garden

Diese Unterkunft hatte einen traumhaften Ausblick über das Dschungeltal und war geräumig und modern eingerichtet. Sie liegt ca 2km entfernt von Ella Stadt. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt durch die Betreuung von Lahiru. Er war super freundlich und half uns bei allem. Er hat täglich ein leckeres Frühstück gebucht und kümmerte sich um unsere tuktuk Buchungen sowie die Weiterfahrt per Taxi. Ein weiteres Highlight war die Cooking class und der große Gewürzgarten. Sehr empfehlenswert:)

absolutely stunning garden and great room! we did the garden tour and cooking class and it was exceptional, one of our highlights of the trip! the lovely guide of the garden tour was super kind and has amazing knowledge about all plant and spices! the local woman who did the cooking class with us was very sweet and we had the best time!

The location is so beautiful. The cooking course was wonderful and the team kindly cooked some child friendly food early on for our hungry 3 year old! The view from the mountain room was exceptional.

The property doesn’t have a restaurant so the only food available is the cooking course. This was ok for us because we were doing the cooking course and the staff kindly provided us with snacks for our kids to keep them going until the evening - but just to be aware!

Amazing views, the room is very nice, breakfast and the cooking class were great. Spice garden is beautiful. We loved it and would recommend if you are looking to stay in nature and calm your mind! City center Ella is also only a 10 min drive away.

Great place away from all the noise of Ella city. The room was spacious and offered amazing views. The shower had hot water. Breakfast was delicious, we got eggs and pancakes. Lahiru was great, he helped with everything and recommended things to do. We also did the cooking class, and really enjoyed it. The garden is so big and it was great to see all the different plants and trees they have and learn about them. It was a great experience. We also booked our travel to the next place through the accommodation and the driver was amazing.

Not a downside, but just to note - given that the place is far from Ella town, you need a tuk tuk to get to places, and tuk tuks in Ella are much more expensive than in other places in Sri Lanka.

Przepyszne śniadanie!

Incredible location and gardens, exceptional service from staff, amazing food and brilliant cooking school! Couldn’t have been better

Nothing!!

Cooking class was amazing- there were only 4 of us and the food was so delicious. Staff was very nice. The view from the room was top notch - we had big birds on the balcony every morning.

Breakfast could be better. Location is a bit further from the city so the tuk tuks are quite expensive due to tuk tuk “mafia” - not the accommodations fault!

The view is stunning

The bathroom is dark and looks old

The staff were incredibly welcoming, and I highly recommend joining their cooking class—it was the best experience we could have had!

None :)

Abbiamo apprezzato la posizione defilata della struttura, lontana dal caos della strada principale di Ella, in ogni caso il centro si raggiunge molto facilmente in tuk tuk. I ragazzi ci sono venuti a prendere dalla tappa precedente, ci hanno aiutati con gli spostamenti e ci hanno suggerito bene come gestire la giornata per visitare al meglio Ella. Bellissimo il corso di cucina che consigliamo di fare a tutti quelli che soggiornano qui

Meravigliosa struttura immersa nella giungla ottimo staff

Nulla

Nice staff, the Cooking class was one of our Highlight! Highly recommended! The spice garden is beautiful and perfect to take a little walk. You can also buy spices of their garden what we directly did. The scenery is also really beautiful.

Unfortunately there was bad smell in the bathroom - there was mold on the wall. It was okay with Windows open.

Quaint homestead in the midst of a lovely spice garden. The access is steep and there are stairs to climb to the rooms, but the staff were very helpful and carried luggage up and down. The view from the room was very nice and the birdsong every morning and the fireflies and stars at night made sitting and chilling on the balcony an exceptional experience. The place is quiet and neat and the beds were comfortable. Roshan, the tuk-tuk driver arranged by the hosts, was very kind and punctual and provided pick up and drop services to Ella for lunch and dinner and to Demodara station to catch the Calypso king to travel over the nine arches railway bridge to Ella station. Great place to unwind and explore Ella. Very helpful staff. Nice breakfast.

The power went off for a whole night but this a problem with the entire grid in the area. There was no backup power but the rooms were cool and it didn't cause a problem.

La chambre dans un écrin de verdure avec vue sur les plantations de thé. Hôtel très calme, à seulement 10 min en Tuktuk du centre d’Ella. Personnel accueillant et très sympathique. Petit dej copieux.

ロケーションは素晴らしく、朝一番にトゥクトゥクでナインブリッジまで行きました。また、スパイスガーデンツアーとクッキングクラスは、セナカさんの解説、指導が素晴らしく、大好きになったスリランカ料理の構造がよく分かり、その後に自分達で作ったカレーは、スリランカで食べた中でNo.1の美味しさでした！スタッフのラウルほか、みんな気持ちの良い方達で、本当に素晴らしい体験でした。

La ubicación

No me gustó que no limpiarán la habitación tras la 1 noche, y que hubiera bichos en el cabezal de madera que caían en la cama. Lo peor de todo es que al pagar, me manifestaron que no iba el datáfono lo que me obligó a pagar en metálico y volver a una casa de cambio, lo que supone pérdida de tiempo y de dinero.

The place is magical, in the middle of a big and very well maintained garden. We stayed for one night and also joined the cooking class, it was a wonderful experience, I could not recommend it enough - make sure you join it! The staff were very helpful and kind, they made the whole stay a great experience.

Great staff, very helpful. Very clean room with breathtaking views. Highly recommended

The location was amazing. The view was breathtaking. Service was lovely.

Cozy cute home stay. Environment is excellent. staff super. Very clean. easy check in and check out . I will highly recommend to others

Breakfast should be flexible . Western breakfast or Sri lankan breakfast. At the time of confirming the booking this should be an option.

The cooking class is exceptional - Senaka gave us a great demonstration and let us get very involved with the process. The room is clean and within the trees.

A couple of the windows don’t shut fully which can let bugs in.

The view was beautiful! Staff were exceptionally nice - we loved the cooking class and space garden tour!!!

Big rooms, great breakfast

Nothing

The moment we entered we felt so great! Very peaceful music playing, warm greeting from Senaka, and the room was ready. The spice garden is beautiful, just as the view from the room.

Everything was great!

The property is over priced offering only few facilities. The staff can't communicate properly

Nice location if you want to be near the spice garden, but quite far away from the centre. A Tuc-Tuc costs 3 times the usual fee due to the location. But very nice situated right in the middle. 1 night recommended, not more.

Location was absolute amazing, it’s a little remote from the main area in Ella and a little difficult to find but once you reach it’s totally worth it!! It’s super amazing.

It’s surrounded by nature, amidst plantations of all sorts. They take your for walk for approx 1500 LKR or you can explore on your own.

Great open floor rooms with stunning views on the garden and the hills. If you have a chance book the cooking class, it was a wonderful experience to learn about Sri Lankan herbs and spices, and prepare amazing dinner with them. Friendly and nice staff, definitely recommend in Ella.

The sheets could be cleaner.

Great location with beautifull views over the tea plantages and the spice garden from the rooms. The owner and staff were very friendly and helpfull. The breakfast was great and the cooking class was well organised and fun.

Sam and Lahiri were very helpful and went above and beyond to make sure we have a pleasant stay. Also booked the cooking class which was a blast!

It was in the woods, near the nine arch bridge, 30 min walk. Good food.

We tought that the cooking class was included. It costs 30dollar per person. Bad location Not good value.

The host, Sam, was very kind and the whole team welcomed us and took care of use in the most possible way. Their garden is extraordinary and is very special.

We really love this place. It's clean, Sam is an amazing host, it's a very quiet place with a beautiful garden. Breakfast was very good and we will definitely come back. Sam and his staff always take care of us and were very friendly and helpful. This is a place where you feel welcome and cared for.

The location and the view from window

How can you not like any thing about this place

Phenomenal location. Much quieter and peaceful than Ella town. The property is kept in a pristine, gorgeous condition and the room was very comfortable with an amazing view. All topped off by a very helpful, friendly owner.

Fantastic location. Great view from the room. Excellent breakfast, very friendly and helpful staff expecially Senaka, tour of the spice gardens were informative and interesting

The owners are super nice and helpful. I also recommend doing the garden tour and buying the spices they produce there! Overall, the place was above our expectations! Keep up the good work guys!!!

A lovely little gem nestled in the jungle away from the bustle of Ella town, yet only a short tuk tuk ride away. The room opens up to the tree top surroundings and creates a green haven to while away a lazy afternoon after daytime hikes. Sam and his team were the kindest hosts and always on hand to assist. We had a wonderful 2 night stay and probably wouldn’t have enjoyed Ella as much without it. If you have time, the actual spice garden is really interesting and very much worth a tour in its own right.

Amazing location right in the middle of the spice garden in the forest. Nice big room with stunning view. The staff were great, we could chose our breakfast hour amd everything was made on the spot, simple but tasty and good. The give good advice and are very attentive. Big bathroom with toiletries. Really nice stay, would definitely recommend. Clean

The only thing I could mention is the fact that the doors and windows are not isolated, you hear everything. But all in all it was a great experience.

Great location, close to Ella, yet far enough to unwind in a beautiful quiet jungle area and tea plantation. Lovely host with so much attention to details. Really enjoyed the stay!!

In the middle of the jungle in Ella, in comfortable, clean and spacious room with amazing view on the mountains, we experienced one of the best stay in Sri Lanka. We also took cooking lesson which was really fun ☺️and tour of the spice garden was really impressive.

We had a fantastic experience at Ella Nine Arch Garden. The room was a bit away from the center of Ella, but the magnificent view of the jungle made it worth it. The breakfast was excellent, and the attentive staff made our stay even better. Highly recommended!

The views were amazing and the accommodation had everything we needed.

Nothing

Very nice

our three nights in ella were really great. senaka was incredibly supportive. all our questions were answered warmly and always with a genuine smile. he was the most attentive of our seven hosts in sri lanka. we learned a lot about the island and its inhabitants at the cooking course, which we should definitely attend. senaka was open and interested. we had a wonderful evening. many thanks to senaka! you are something special!

The property has the most amazing view and the accommodation has everything you need. We were greeted by Senaka, who is a wonderful host. He kindly arranged a tuk tuk to take us to the bridge and to and from Ella. He also suggested other places to visit! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend. Thank you Senaka, it was lovely to meet you and we enjoyed our chat!

Nothing!

We’ve loved that place. Definitely, we recomand it. It’s a A frame, with 2 separate rooms(own bathroom), with separate entrance. It’ s so cozy, with a beautiful view, you can really enjoy the silence of the jungle. We felt sorry that we stayed only for 1 night. The breakfast was also great. Thank you for all!

Great environment, beautiful, really friendly

The accommodation is very nice and the upper room has a beautiful view of the surrounded area. The room itself is very clean and there are all things you need. Unfortunately it has no AC but the climate in Ella is not too hot, so in the evenings it’s getting cooler. Senaka, it is the manager of the accommodation was extremely helpful and always available. He also picked up from Nuna Oya, which was the final train station from your train journey from Ella to Nuna Oya. On top of that we also invited us to a special local restaurant for a small lunch.

Amazing place to stay. One of our favourite ever. Our host was amazing, nothing was too much hassle and he did everything to make the stay perfect. Throughly recommend.

Nothing at all

To begin, the breakfast at Nine Arch was so filling and delicious! We had the option of hoppers, sandwiches, eggs, pancakes, fruit, toast, fresh juice, and coffee or tea. The room was spacious and had everything that you could need. The view from the room is breathtaking. You get to see Ella's beautiful, lush hills and many stars at night. Just be warned, if you have quite a bit of luggage, the stairs getting up to the rooms will be a little bit hard for you! We also had a fantastic Sri Lankan cooking class by Sena (Senaka) who was our host and main point of contact throughout our stay. He was so patient, kind, and learned and truly made our cooking experience exceptional. We got to make 7 different types of vegetable curry and papadum. I highly encourage anyone who stays here to take the cooking class because you learn so much from Sena! Getting to eat the food you made is also a great incentive!! Sena also gave us a tour of the spice garden on the property where over 100 varieties of spices grow! I've included a picture of fresh turmeric that Sena showed us in the garden. During our stay, we took the train from Ella to Nuwara Eliya (also highly recommend doing it as it's so picturesque). Sena didn't have to do this, but he drove to Nuwara Eliya to pick us up from the train station, gave us a tour of Nuwara Eliya, took us to one of his and his family's favourite local restaurants, and then brought us back to Ella. My friend and I are blown away by his kindness. Another example is that my friend and I booked a walking tour up Ella Rock for sunrise. We came downstairs and saw that Sena was awake, and made sure were safely in our tuktuk. Lastly, I'm beyond grateful for his continued assistance outside our stay. Senaka helped us find a driver for an excursion in another city :) All in all, I recommend staying at Nine Arch Spice Garden for the view, experience, and the best host ever.

New hotel with really good installations and very clean. Crazy views from the room and nice and tasty homemade breackfast. The staff was really welcoming and helpful during our stay, I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Very beautiful garden! Nice staff.

The location is really far from the center and you definitely need a car to get there. The day I stayed there isn't hot water so i had a bucket of hot water to shower, which is fine but a bit inconvenient.

Beautiful garden, helpful staff, beautiful view, breakfast was great. The best accomodation we had In Srí Lanka :)

We had such a lovely time there ! The room was huge with an amazing view 🤩 All very clean and very well equipped (fridge, toothbrush, hair dryer). Waking up to the view was incredible… followed by a yummy breakfast! I think the best thing about our stay was the hospitality of Senaka 💫 He’s been so helpful at helping us arrange our day trips and travels - and overall he’s so nice and smiley 😻 The cherry on the top was the visit of their 2 acres spice garden - from cinnamon, turmeric, bananas, mint, all spices, to ginger .. they have it all! The garden is amazing and Senaka gave us a very good explanation of each pant’s properties !

Staff was very friendly and helpful.😍 Mind blowing view. 😍 Delicious Breakfast 😍 Highly Recommended😊

Location is very fantastic. Staff is very friendly. Room is beautiful and clean with large windows to the jungle.

We had a great time, staff so nice and the cooking class was so much fun and the recipes are amazing. The garden is lush green. With lots of plants and trees. Stunning view. 😍 just make sure you bring your own alcohol. The shops are not on walking distance. We would definitely come back here!

Incredible staff, good breakfast, beautiful clean rooms. We loved our stay here, the staff was super helpful in arranging taxi services and tuk tuks and also giving us advice in planing our itinerary. We couldn’t be happier with this place and would love to come back.

Nothing

The room and view are stunning, you feel lost in the jungle, away from everything. Probably one of the most beautiful room in Ella. Our host Senaka was incredibly kind and helpful, helping us secure tuk tuks and even driving us into town when we couldn’t and preparing breakfast takeaway boxes when we had to leave early. The breakfast was really nice, complete with Sri Lankan omelette, a variety of spreads and fruit. Overall we had a lovely experience and highly recommend this stay.

There was a bit of noise at night of animals jumping on the roof/moving about etc. It wasnt a big deal for us but for light sleepers this might be a consideration. The location is also a little out of town (10-15min from Ella) and tuk tuk prices are much higher than in Colombo or other big cities

The property is well situated just a few minutes drive from Ella city. You are surrounded by amazing scenery and the view from the room is spectacular. You can even see the waterfall and Nine arch bridge. The room is clean and very tidy. You have everything that you need there. Breakfast is delicious. The staff is very attentive and helpful. A family who runs the property is also very helpful and very kind. Best stay in Ella.

None

The room and the bathroom were spacious and clean. Had a good view too!! The staff very super friendly and helpful.

We did not get any hot water. However, the staff supplied us with boiled water in buckets and also provided us with a discount for the hot water issue.

The host tried it best but the English knowledge was poor! Good view from the room.

Unfortunately, the owner only greeted us by message in booking and was not on site. The room was not clean. The bed linen was not clean, there were a lot of stains on the walls and a lot of mould in the bathroom. In addition, the toilet was leaking and a mosquito net is urgently needed on the bed. The photos in the booking do not correspond to the actual condition of the room. We booked the room because of the nice feedbacks before and especially due to the cooking lessons. But it looks like that these feedbacks are not up to date. There are no cooking classes available. We were very disappointed!

Views were beautiful and the design was unique. Lahiru who hosted us was an absolute pleasure and organised tuk tuks, was flexible with breakfast had checkout times. Would stay again!

Nothing much!

Location: very suggestive in the middle of the jungle. Building structure fantastic. Staff: extremely kind, they tried to satisfy every request.

Position: out of city center and a little bit difficult to reach without own vehicle. Cleaning and furniture can be improved, but still satisfying

Amazing place to stay. Brilliant views and great location.

Cash only! Not a problem but advance warning would have been good, left the checkout experience feeling slightly panicked!

Location is very nice to stay and very calm environment. Breakfast was delicious. Hotel staff are very supportive

I most like around nature of hotel view Room was very nice and worth for money

Without air condition in the room

It was very good experience and staff very friendly and helpful

we stayed in a beautiful cabin with an amazing view from the windows. we liked everything! the food was amazing, the bedroom was big and comfortable and especially we liked the employee how was very kind to us! also we took a cocking class which was very good and tasty 😋

the location is a little bit far away from the centre of Ella so it’s difficult to get around without a vehicle.

great location and amazing views. the hosts were so helpful and we really enjoyed the cooking class.

Location was a bit hard to reach but worthy after you see the view. Huge windows make the room very unique.

There wasn't any cooling system in the room and because it's wooden made and top floor, it was quite hot during the day.

Really nice garden and the owners are very kind and helpful !
