Haven Harbour

Nasz host był bardzo pomocny i miły. Pokój i łazienka były czyste oraz dobrze wyposażone. Śniadanie było duże i smaczne. Dostaliśmy dwie opcje Sri Lankan albo Western. Musieliśmy wymeldować się w środku nocy (z własnego wyboru), nasz host zadbał abyśmy dostali śniadanie na wynos za co dziękujemy! Polecamy wszystkim zatrzymującym się w Ella.

The most amazing homestay I have ever been to!! Honestly, everything was just perfect about this place: It‘s a beautiful bungalow in the middle of nowhere, away from the hustle and bustle, a bit outside of Ella town. The family who runs the homestay is truly adorable, kind, and so helpful. Their services have been way among expectations. Every day, they offered us a premium breakfast. And on request, they also served us dinner every evening. The food was so delicious. We really had the best time here abd would always come back!! Thank you for everything. And thank you for having us as your guest ◡̈

Everything was just perfect!! ◡̈

The owners were really kind and went out of their way to make our stay pleasant as possible.

Super nice mountain view with fresh air to breath .we were very happy with our stay.beautiful room delicious breakfast with srilankan and western options.. great staff and quality service.. We would definitely come back …..

They double booked us and told us to go away. We had booked this property over 6 months ago! Access to this property is horrendous as the slope is dangerous. We are still waiting for compensation after having to find somewhere else to stay at the last minute, which cost us more money. Do not stay here.

Casetta stupenda, pulitissima e profumatissima. La famiglia che ci ha accolto molto umile e gentile. Minù, la figlia, stupenda. Avremmo voluto rimanerci per sempre.

Super nette Gastgeber und sehr leckeres Abendessen.

Relativ laute Umgebungsgeräusche.

The room and interiors are very good and well maintained. It’s very clean as well.

The approach to the property of around 300m is not accessible to cars. You need to either walk or take a tuk tuk. The owner does offer tuk tuk drop n pickup from the main road but still it’s out of Ella town and there are construction going on around which makes it a noisy place. The prayer sound from the Buddha temple is loud early in the morning at 4am and disturbs the sleep. There is no view from the room as it’s covered by trees and the mountain is barely visible. The breakfast had some dog hairs in it and we couldn’t eat after seeing that.

Immersa nella giungla

Un po’ la posizione Una discesa molto ripida Manca il set doccia

Die Unterkunft ist wirklich sehr schön und auch der Balkon ist top. Das Bad ist in Ordnung nur der Wasserdruck ist ein wenig schwach. Die Besitzer waren sehr nett!

die Lage ist nicht optimal aber mit dem tuktuk ist man in ein paar Minuten im Zentrum

Vistes molt boniques i allotjament molt acollidor.

Nice and clean hotel room. Everything was perfect and the family is super nice. Delicious breakfast

Entrance is a bit rusty so you need a tuctuc to arrive and I would improve having communication via whatsapp

Extraordinaire, un havre de paix. Les hôtes sont adorables Un petit déjeuner au top. Nous avons passé un très bon moment

Was meant to stay for 2 nights and loved it so much stayed another night. The family who run the guesthouse are so lovely and kind. They are always so nice and welcoming and their daughter was very cute practicing her English with us. They really make you feel like you’re part of their home and we loved the place, the breakfast was so much food and so nice everyday. The best place I’ve stayed in Sri Lanka for sure. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Ella.

Nothing the place was amazing. Only small thing is it’s a little bit out of the town but easily accessible with a tuk tuk ride.

We had such a nice stay here! The family was lovely and the dad even helped us to repair our tuktuk. The room was clean and up to hotel standards with comfortable beds and a nice bed room. The terrace was a lovely place to sit and we got served an amazing breakfast there.

The bedroom, the view and especially the host family

I had the pleasure of staying in this incredible accommodation. The room was immaculate, spacious, and beautiful, but what took my breath away was the stunning view! The real gem, however, is the wonderful family who runs this place. This place is perfect for anyone looking for tranquility, beauty, and genuine kindness. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Sri Lanka – it’s not just a stay, it’s an unforgettable experience!

A lovely host family and a clean, modern cottage. It gives you a treehouse-like feeling, sleeping in nature.

The property is a bit far from town, and tuk-tuks didn't always want to pick us up (though the return trip was never an issue). We had to walk along the road, which can be busy and less pleasant after dark.

The service was top Notch . Very sweet and accommodating people

Just the location was little steep to walk but they provide tuk tuk which was very good other than that , it is a beautiful place to stay.

It was a really lovely cabin, the breakfast was really good and the view was great.

Unfortunately I didn’t quite realise the location, it’s down a really steep hill and really no chance of walking up that. It’s rather frustrating there are no local restaurants nearby and you have to go to main Ella road. Which would be OK however, because of the location it was hard to find a tuk tuk driver to come back, also they will not take you all the way down. It’s really dark, can be dangerous and definitely not safe a woman to be walking around alone like that. If you are a couple or friends this would be OK but solo travellers probably not.

This beautiful little bungalow is just outside of Ella- maybe around a 25 minute walk or a 5 min Tuk Tuk. It is surrounded by mountains and you can see the giant Buddhist temple from the balcony- this looks spectacular at night when it’s all lit up. We were greeted by really friendly staff, who drove their tuk tuk up to the main road to meet us as it is not possible to drive in a car down the extremely steep road to the bungalow! The room was perfect, really clean and a really comfortable bed with a hot shower! The family live just next to the bungalow and we were served breakfast by them on our balcony and were greeted each morning by the little girl! They were super friendly and their hospitality was exceptional. Every time we asked, they organized for their Tuk Tuk to take us to the road or to Ella- free of charge! We played volleyball with the little girl and played with their beautiful dogs! Would definitely recommend this place and will definitely stay again if we’re ever back in Ella! We even stayed an extra night on this occasion because we loved it so much!

Everything was great!

This is a fantastic new jungle bungalow. The view is stunning and the family that runs it is very friendly and helpful. They also arrange a tuk tuk for you to go to Ella town as the road might not be the best for walking. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

The lady running the place is incredibly kind and welcoming, always ready to help with a smile. She even called a tuk-tuk for us whenever we needed and did our laundry for a really affordable price. Breakfast was spot-on, and her whole family made us feel right at home. Just a heads up about the location: it’s a bit remote, so getting around requires a tuk-tuk or moto ride. Also, it can get a little noisy, so light sleepers might want to take note. Overall, though, we loved our stay—it was an amazing experience!

The view, stuff and breakfast were incredible!

Perfect view, very kind people, beautiful modern rooms, tasty breakfast. Thank you so much :)

We had two wonderful days at this great guest house. The atmosphere was nice and calm. From the balcony we could enjoy the beautiful view of the valley. The family was very friendly and served a great breakfast. It has been the best accommodation in Sri Lanka during our trip. I will definitely recommend this guest house when staying in Ella!

Sometimes the neighbors would have bonfires that ruined the air quality in the whole valley, but I guess that's is not exactly the guest houses fault.

Everything was great. New cottage, great view, very clean. But most importantly amazing people.

Water pressure low in the sink

Amazing place to stay!! The host was so lovely and helpfully, providing tuk tuk into town! Amazing view

Beautiful location, kind owners, good quality furniture and interior design.

Tooo bad

Can't enter the property with a car, they told me there is parking but no

The room was nice, I loved the balcony and the breakfast.

You need a tuktuk to get there. But the owner drives you in the city when you need.

A beautifully designed, decorated and presented homestay. Really really nice room to stay in! Bed was comfortable and substantial blankets provided for the cooler evenings. Breakfast served on the balcony was great. Family all very welcoming and friendly. Located down a steep hill - we were driving our own tuk tuk but didn’t need to worry as host was more than happy to help with parking/driving up etc.

Nothing disliked for us, but a few things to note. Water pressure not great in the bathroom but drill usable. It can be noisy in the early hours of the morning (as expected in this jungle like location) Would be great if some comfier chairs/loungers were added to the balcony to relax on.

Super nice hosts, with a beautiful place. It’s a bit down a steep hill but they were more than happy to help with a tuk tuk. Very very nice place.

We really enjoyed our time at the homestay. The host and the family were incredibly kind and helpful. Breakfast is served on the balcony, the cottage was clean and spacious. Since the homestay is a little outside of Ella they provide a free Tuktuk to the city. We had a great time!! :)

New, clean, beautifully furnished and decorated, lovely view of the valley and mountains. Lovely family

Very noisy in the morning with dogs and chanting from very early - if you value sleeping in (which we don’t) you may find this annoying. It was a little out of town but an easy tuk tuk ride. Cash only - we were nearly caught out.

Beautiful and private homestay / guest house, with excellent facilities. A great place to stay, we are very grateful for hospitality. Well presented and great host who looked after us very well. Hospitality was first class!

We liked the whole experience. Not one thing we didn't like

Good place

New spot, very comfortable, stunning view, kind hosts

Outlook to the lush hills and vegetation

Nothing

Its so beautiful, clean,comfortable,with so nice view from the balcony. Everything is so new and cozy.

Lovely place in Nature, Walking distance from the town. We Had a very nice time there.

It’s an amazing treehouse type place with a glass front looking out onto a wooden balcony with incredible Mountain View’s. The room was very clean and the bed was so comfortable. There is also a kettle with tea/coffee and a hairdryer which was nice too. The owners and the people around were so kind and very helpful. The road down is quite steep and it’s about a 20 minute walk to Ella town but it is so worth it for this beautiful place surrounded by nature. I would definitely recommend staying here we wish we could’ve stayed longer!

A comfy cabin with fantastic views from the balcony! The family hosting us were so lovely, helpful and accommodating, they helped out with transport too.

Everything about the property is Great! so humble & resorty!The room settings, how they make the bed, cute shower room with dolphin sticker/tiles, dressing table area, hair dryer, nicely made beds (soft type), balcony/patio for breakfast & to enjoy stunning greenery view, very accommodative host & they make superb & authentic breakfast, so friendly and helpful, plus accommodate my last minute request ( less than 1hour notice) of earliest check out with packed sandwich & fruit breakfast plus a tuktuk ride to Ella railway station, all on the house. Location is less than 2km from town, highly recommended. Thank you so much Kalpa & family ❣️

Water pressure for shower is a little small asides, it is the best stay for me throughout the stay in 🇱🇰

New facility; nice family owned place; good breakfast; staff services (tuk tuk, baby animation :D); help with anything

Bathroom water pressure, shower and toilet too close and no 'cabin', location very steep and a bit outside city

Brand new, extremely clean place to stay. Tasty breakfast in a beautiful surroundings. Not so far from Ella (around 20 minutes walk). Great host and lovely family. Worth to stay here. :)

This place is a dream!!!! Our favorite place in Sri Lanka ☺️ The view from the house, the vibes, the owner and his beautiful beautiful family, everything just perfect! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The house is new, very clean. We truly had a wonderful stay here and would have def stayed longer if we could. 💜💜💜

Great accomendation! Hoped it was just like the pictures as its quiet new, but it was! Very kind people to help you with everything. Beautiful view and cabin in the woods as stated

Nothing, everything was perfect!

Beautiful handcrafted brand new cabin with everything you need and outstanding mountain views from the balcony. Situated a short 5min ride from Ella, peaceful location away from the busy centre. Very lovely family hosts happy to help and offer TukTuk transport around Ella. Western breakfast was very nice and plentiful. We booked for 2 days and stayed for 4. Perfect place to end our trip, highly recommend.
