Vacation rentals with breakfast in Ella

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

The room matches the photos and description. Nimalka was a great host, always helpful and kind. Every day he made us a delicious and always different breakfast. The apartment is not in the village but 1km away, for us it was not a problem because you can really easily get there in 10 minutes on foot or in 2 minutes with the tuk tuk, in return from the veranda of the room there is a wonderful view of Ella Rock that pays off for everything. There is silence, you can only hear the sounds of nature and we found it a really relaxing place. Recommended!

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 :)

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.

Wonderful food and amazing views of the hills! A nature lovers dream!

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

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.

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

Great place and great welcome. Everything is simple in the rooms, there is nothing superfluous, clean and comfortable, and most importantly - a panoramic window, behind which there is a beautiful view of the valley and the 9 arch bridge. The owners are very friendly. For breakfast they serve their fruits, vegetables and delicious tea. It's just rubbish! Too bad we only stayed one night. I dream of returning again.

The most incredible view in Ella. We had a lovely stay, this is the perfect location to walk up Ella rock with the trail starting right outside the door. The staff were very friendly and always happy to help. We were able to walk down into Ella town in 10 minutes but would recommend a short tuk tuk ride back up the hill. Both the Sri Lankan and Western breakfast were great. We would recommend!

This has been our favourite stay of Sri Lanka. Dileepa was so attentive, helpful and friendly, always there to assist. The room and balcony is beautiful with amazing views across the jungle. Don’t be put off by the distance into town - it’s so worth it for this slice of paradise. Thank you Dileepa and family!!! 🥹🤗

Everything was fantastic at Lilu’s! The place was clean, comfortable, and offered a stunning view. Breakfast was exceptional—truly one of the best I’ve had—and Lilu was an incredible host. She even arranged a personalized tuk-tuk tour for me to visit the waterfall, Nine Arches Bridge, tea factory, and Little Adam’s Peak. I was so impressed that I hired the same driver the next day to take me to Udawalawe. The location is within walking distance to the city center, which is super convenient—but I’d recommend bringing a flashlight if you’re walking at night, as some areas can be quite dark.

Our stay in Ella was magical. We also owe this to this great place in a quiet location with incomparable views. We enjoyed the time very much and did most of it on foot. The place is on a mountain, less in the hustle and bustle, which was perfect for us. If you do not want to take the footpath to the city center of about 25 minutes, there is the possibility to take a tuk tuk. Communication with Aruna was flawless. A delicious breakfast is included and dinner is also available at very fair prices. The room was clean and we slept comfortably. Leaving this beautiful place was very difficult for us. If we travel to Sri Lanka again, we will definitely come back! Thank you for the hospitality.

The view from the terrace is truely breathtaking, over a green valley and a waterfall just in front. 10 minutes walking from Ella. Great local restaurants nearby. Lots of options for hiking trips. The apartment is well equipped, even has a little fridge. The bathroom is a piece of art. The breakfast is included, fresh fruit, smoothies, pancakes with coconut filling, sandwiches, all home made. Highly recommendable place to stay, amazing value for the money.
