Vacation rentals with breakfast in Ampara

Our time at Namals guest house was the perfect stay in Ella. The views were incredible and his homemade breakfast on the terrace were something we’ll never forget. Really easy to access Ella town by foot also as it is a 10 min train ride. Cute balcony setting for recharging and a lovely kind family

one of the best airbnbs/hotels i stayed in! the room was clean, had everything I needed, and was well-located. would book again ✨

I had a great time at Namal's place and would definitely come back here when visiting Ella again. I can recommend it wholeheartedly, Namal is very friendly and welcoming, the room has many amenities and decoration is done with great care. Also, the view is fantastic. The typical Sri Lanka breakfast tastes good and is a well-sized portion for 2$. Ask Namal for recommendations for sightseeing and walk along the railroad tracks for easy access to the city :)

These are the sweetest people. Nimalka made us breakfast each morning which was delicious and even arranged for her husband to tuk tuk us around for a day to see waterfalls and the tea plantation. He is also wonderful! The place is only a short 12-15 minute walk from the busy road in Ella with many fun restaurants and bars. You can also walk to the nine arches bridge path and Little Adam’s Peak (longer - about an hour) from the property. Nimalka even gave us a takeaway breakfast the night before because we had an early safari departure, which was just above and beyond. We had a lovely and very comfortable stay. Thank you again for everything!

I can only agree with the very positive reviews. This was also a very special place for me! The guest house is very quiet and at the same time within walking distance of the village. After the days before were a bit exhausting and chaotic, I was able to come here directly to relax and recharge the batteries. Far away from all the tourist crowds… Krishan and his team were also very helpful and friendly. When we were there, we decided on short notice to go on a safari that Krishan organized for us. For us, this was possible solely from the point of view that it is carried out with respect for nature and wildlife. This was definitely fulfilled in the Maduru Oya National Park. We enjoyed the curry twice, which was absolutely delicious. Regardless of the safari, one of my favorite places in Sri Lanka. Thanks Krishan!

Paradise on earth! So peaceful and rejuvenating, set in lush nature far from the noise of the city. Beautiful walks and swims in the natural pool and the best food we've eaten. Manoj and Jasmine provided top quality service and took care of us with such generosity and kindness. Cant recommend this place more, it is truly special

We had a budget room with ensuite on the family balcony. Both bedroom and bathroom were perfectly clean. The family is super friendly and always helpful with local recommendations for restaurants and transportation options. Note that there is no kitchen available for this room, contrary to the listing. They offer a convenient Tuk Tuk service for better prices than you could find in Ella town. The walk to Ella town is slightly long, however, there is a shortcut via the train rails.

The stay in the Gamini’s home was the silver lining of my trip. The house was very beautifully decorated with a good sense of taste (I took some pictures of their home and glad they like them as well). Our room is very clean and has the local flavor of display. The location is a bit hard to find, but Gamini was so kind that he drove himself to show directions for our driver. The Gamini family was so warm to introduce their pretty little garden (we had a chance to taste their fresh vege salad, amazing!) and it turned out to be an awesome mini garden tour. We also had a very good evening sitting at the garden and chatting about family and their experiences. In the next morning, I was lucky to join their activities in the temple where I sent the prepared food to monks. It was so authentic experience that cannot be found in tourists places. Just as Gamini described, it is a lovely and peaceful place to get away from the noise. A strong recommendation for those who love nature and nice ppl

Thank you Nimantha for taking us in! This Airbnb apartment is not usually booked trough Airbnb, so I recommend contacting The hostel trough other services. I asked Nimantha to deactive his account.

This was an amazing stay! I wish I stayed longer. The owners Asith and his wife have made a lovely piece of heaven in the mountains. The property and it's surrounding are a dream! The hosts are kind and made us a top notch breakfast. On top of that they are so accommodating and super hard working. There are some considerations when people choose to book, if you're bringing a mini van it's a bit tricky, but the owners make it work! But just keep in mind roads are narrow. They provide their tuk tuk to help as well.

Poorna's villa was beautiful. It was spacious, clean and with all basic amenties. Host was extremely friendly, and extended help in whatever we requested for , instance arranged laundry services etc. Breakfast spread was decent with coconut roti, breads, egg, juices, fruits, coffee/ tea. Poorna's wife also showed us how they make Srilankan rotis. Overall fantastic stay and highly recommend family with kids.

Communication was great before & during our stay. Our time here was excellent. Magnificent views, comfortable living. Comfortable beds. Rooftop breakfasts a great way to start the day. Shan & JP were super helpful with recommendations and advice for Ella. Also arranged transport for us to local sites and offered to arrange our transfer to our next destination if we needed.

Loved the place, specifically the hospitality of the host and family, everything was much refreshing and rejuvenating.

Fantastic location, although address is incorrectly listed (look at the map). Otherwise was a very easy check in and hosts were very accommodating

Super warm welcome. 🥰 We arrived a little earlier than planned and so our room was not yet ready. However, it didn't take 10 minutes and it was ready and we got tea & coffee as a welcome. We were given some options that we can visit. Every morning there was incredibly delicious breakfast and we enjoyed a great view. Great 3 nights we were allowed to spend. I appreciate it. Thanks! 🥰

Fantastic view and friendly staff! We enjoy walking so the location was great for us, and it’s easy to take a tuk tuk if needed. The area is a bit noisy, there was construction going on during the day but we didn’t find it bothersome in the evenings so we could get rest. The breakfast is good, with fresh fruit and the omelette it was what we needed.

Thank you for such a beautiful stay in Ella. From the moment you picked us up everything was perfect. We loved staying at the Solitary retreat and wish we could have stayed longer. Dileepa was so attentive, sharing local recommendations and providing the most delicious breakfast. We would love to come back one day.

This was an amazing stay! The views from the rooms are superb, really beautiful. The room is very comfortable and good size, with a lovely balcony. The homecooked breakfast was amazing, very tasty and big portion. The location is perfect as it is a short 10 min walk into Ella but it is away from the busyness so very quiet and peaceful. Lilu is a great host. Very welcoming and friendly, with a lovely family. She was very helpful, even providing us with a pack up breakfast for our very early departure! Would definitely recommend and would stay here again!

Such a beautiful stay with the most wonderful staff and service - the breakfast is amazing!!

Everything was great! The view in the morning was amazing. The room is big and spacious, it includes a huge breakfast too. The only thing is that the room can get humid, i dont know if its because of the weather. What I did was opening the door in the day if i was there and when it was night i would turn on the fan in the bathroom so it didnt stay humid. Thank you for everything

lovely guest house in the hills, very peaceful away from the main town, and great breakfast!
