The good views do mean they are located up a very high and winding road which could be challenging for some drivers.

Beautiful view of Little Adam's Peak and Ella Rock. Lovely owner's and yummy breakfast. For a small fee they also did some laundry for me.

Everyone says this but I can assure you this is the best accommodation we've stayed at during our 2 weeks in Sri Lanka. There's a lot of fake 5 stars around in Sri Lanka but this is not one of them. -Stunning views -Away from the centre but close enough to tuk tuk in or walk - Hosts are AMAZING. Racy and her family really are so sweet. They bring you tea and biscuits regularly, check in to make sure things are ok....and the food is incredible!!! With this being Sri Lanka we've had curry every day and the dinner we just ate was the best we've had so far. Then there is the breakfast aswell. Pancakes, fruit, eggs. Pretty much whatever you ask for, Racy will make and it's all delicious. - It's the nicest room we've had during our trip and by far the comfiest bed. Had our best night's sleep here! (And our first place with a hot shower) I could honestly go on and on, there's too much to mention. Do yourself a favour and book this if you're in Ella, you won't regret it. Thank you to Racy and the family, they really were the best and you've created a wonderful place for people to visit. 🤗

There is building work at the moment to create a second villa right next to us. Although the owner tried to limit this work it was quite disturbing given how close it was. Generally it was not as quiet as we had expected as there is traffic noisy and village sounds rather than complete silence, which we had expected. We recommend the owner prepare a menu with prices as it was a source of anxiety being invited to order food without knowing what it would cost or having to repeatedly ask what items would cost, especially because the host’s English is quite limited.

Good value for money. Also, a Good location for views with birds and native deer appearing in the back yard. Privacy of the villa was very good with a verandah for eating. An Accomodating host who cooked whatever we requested including veg noodle soup and sandwiches for our return train ride to Colombo. Her charges for meals were very reasonable.

It was bit noisy from outside (rooftop) and weak wifi signal, otherwise excellent stay for the money we paid.

Super kind host, she tried her best to make our trip comfortable. We didn’t miss anything. Good breakfast and nice view from the balcony.

Location little difficult to approach. Good value for the money you pay.

Neat and tidy little room with a terrace facing the forest. Amazing host she went out of her way to prepare a takeaway breakfast as we were taking the early train to see the 9 arch bridge.

Beautiful views over Ella from our private balcony. The host family are very welcoming and offered us tea & coffee each day and their home cooking is delicious. We had breakfasts at the property. We also had dinner prepared for us, our laundry done and packed snacks for the train ride to Kandy - all at a very reasonable extra cost. Can not recommend this place enough.

They have only one room. Communication with owner may face language issues, though we could communicate & were fully cooperated by owner. Very simple ,hard working host lady.

The mesmerizing view of mountain & vally . Just awesome. You can seat in balcony facing the view & forget the world. Host lady is good server. Delicious breakfast & food . We were 2 senior couples & stayed in one room with 2 double beds. Still enjoyed & would recommend for others too.

No weak points in our view given the favourable price.

Probably the best accommodation we have experienced during 2 weeks in Sri Lanka - very nice, helpful and hospitable host family, tasty and rich breakfast and dinner, nice private terrace with a view.

Very nice place, calm and beautiful view from the balcony. Cozy place with home made delicious food. Provided with all the amenities and breakfast for a very reasonable price. The hosts are really nice and caring. Hope to visit again.

Just think about to have a scooter or tuktuk to come around cause it is a bit out of Ella town. But this was a selling point for us.

The best Homestay in Ella. The owner was so nice and always paying attention to our needs. The cottage is very new and extrem clean and well maintained. And the most stunning is the view from the balcony. The breakfast was very delicious and a lot. We also had dinner which was very tasty. Over all we had a great time there.

While we enjoyed our stay the building works next door we found quite stressful and not relaxing so I’d want to know they had finished. A lot of Ella is having building works mostly for us tourists :(

The host was incredible friendly and helpful. We loved our morning breakfast spread and being able to see the trains go past. It was also a really easy and lovely walk into Ella down the hillside paths (get All Trails app) or you can get a tuktuk (best on PickMe app or the host can call you one).

Great place to stay in this area! Close to the town of Ella, and at the same time very close to nature (sounds of the jungle). A great break :) The view from the terrace was amazing. Very caring and nice owners. Delicious food. We highly recommend it!

We can really recommend Racy Nature Cottage. The View from the balcony is just stunning and you can see a lot of animals from there too. Monkeys, deer and lots of birds. The place was very clean and the host family is so caring and lovely. They did our laundry, organized transport, offered dinner on the balkony (which was lovely) and they even invited us in their home for breakfast. You can walk from there to the train tracks in about 10 Min and to a very nice waterfall too. Really nice restaurant at the tracks too (Bee‘s cooking). We stayed a full week and had a great time.

Nothing - just precise that it's better to have a scooter to go to the center or any place around as it is a bit remote. The hosts can also book Tuktuk for you.

Amazing view. The couple host is incredible and provides any additional service you need like laundry or scooter rental at correct price. Delicious breakfast. Big room, clean, comfortable bed.
