The owner is a warm-hearted gentleman, exceptionally friendly and genuinely caring toward his guests. From the moment we arrived, he made us feel welcome and at home. Every morning, he prepared breakfast tailored exactly to our preferences, always served with a smile and a kind word. The property itself offers a stunning view, the kind you could happily spend hours admiring, and from time to time, playful monkeys make a surprise visit, adding a unique charm to the experience.

I really enjoyed my stay at Ice Age Cottage. The host made me feel very welcome and comfortable, and the breakfasts were delicious. I even had an issue with my mobile phone, and it needed repairs . He took me straight to a repair shop it the morning, where it was immediately fixed. I was so thankful. The view from the balcony is also stunning. I highly recommend staying here 😊

The property features a single-room cottage, which was cozy, clean, and beautifully set up—perfect for a couple or solo traveler looking for peace and quiet. The bathroom was decent, with reliable hot water, which is always appreciated in Ella’s cooler climate. Plus, there’s free Wi-Fi, which worked well throughout our stay. The breakfast was incredible, with a huge variety of local and Western options—everything was fresh, tasty, and well-prepared. Truly one of the best we had during our trip. The owner was extremely amicable and welcoming, always ready to help with anything we needed and made us feel very much at home. Just a small note for future guests: to reach the cottage, you’ll need to walk down and back up a flight of steps, so be ready for a bit of a climb. But trust me, the view at the bottom is more than worth it! If you’re heading to Ella and want a peaceful, scenic, and welcoming place to stay, Ice Age Cottage is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended—we’d definitely come back!

We had an amazing time at the Ice Age Cottage. The host was extremely friendly and helpful, organizing a tour to the Diyaluma Falls for us, which was unforgettable. Every morning, we were treated to a different homemade breakfast, which truly elevated our experience and made our stay even more special. The cottage is cozy and well-equipped, and the view from the private balcony is simply stunning. There are also several excellent restaurants within walking distance, and it's quick and easy to reach the town center by Tuk Tuk. A perfect, peaceful retreat in Ella. We highly recommend it!

Very nice and helpful owner. Location is a bit remote which offers quietness and a nice view. Owner arranges transport and sightseeing at a very good price so that is not an issue. Generous full breakfast.

Very kind owner. Quiet place away from the nouse with great view. Delicious breakfast. Owner organizes tuk tuk transfers and sightseeing at very reasonable price.

A bit far from the city, so the fact that there is nothing around makes it a bit scary. Also, given the distance from the center, you have to account for the extra cost of tuktuks (but anyway you have to take a lot of tuktuks because there is nothing inside Ella - all the nice things are outside of the city). You need to climb stairs to go to the room, and that can be a dangerous in the night.

Amazing view, amazing owner that went above and beyond to make the stay as good as possible, really good breakfast! If you have your own means of transport it's an amazing option! Nice, clean, good internet. Great value for money. Would definitely stay there again!

The steep steps down to the cabin were unfortunately a little difficult.

Beautifully located accommodation a short distance from the center of Ella. Our host was amazingly accommodating. The breakfast was an added plus; fit and well prepared.
