We walked up from their place to the nine arches, then a beautiful walk to the arches of mountain little Adam we did that to, had super vegan diner in Ella, and walked back. Amazing nice long walk all together. Exactly our 'peace 😃of cake!🌿🌜

Lush in Ella is a brand new venue and a true hidden gem in the middle of the jungle. Yet it is very close to the center of the town. The owner Saman and her husband made us feel very special, especially pampering us with delicious homemade breakfasts. The room, bathroom, and balcony are very clean, the Internet works well, The washroom is spacious.

What a neat spot! Great location for walking to Little Adam’s Peak, and access to the nine arches bridge is right across the road. Our host was very caring and the room was a very generous size. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony and watching life down below on the street.

We had an excellent stay at the Bliss Homestay and would happily come back! Everything was super clean, a spacious room and bathroom, delicious breakfasts and dinners with a lot of food and variety. The bed was very comfortable and the room quiet, you only hear birds and cikadas at night. The little terrace in front of the room has a great view and the property is surrounded by green. The host was super friendly and helpful and gave us a lot of suggestions for stuff to do around. We can only recommend the Bliss Homestay.

Lovely host family, very welcoming. Amazing views from the terraces on each level. Rooms are comfortable with hot water showers and air con. Great breakfast in the morning. We asked for omelettes the second day and this was not a problem. Just bear in mind there is a very steep hill down to the accommodation so bear in mind if you have any difficulty mobility wise. The Main Street is very close for restaurants etc and the walk to the nine arch bridge and little Adam’s peak is quite close from the homestay.
