Namunukula vacation rentals

One of the best stays I've had in Sri lanka. Very comfortable, great upstairs "cinema", staff very friendly and helpful. Good breakfast. Very peaceful and just what the doctor ordered.

Had a great stay. It’s a property with a gate hard to spot but it’s there 😊. The property is close to both the railway station and also to the Main Street so easy to find places to eat. The master bedroom toilet seat etc could be changed and interiors upgraded to give a brighter look, but as we stayed there only two days and spent most of it outside, no complaints.

If you’re looking for an adventurous and unique place to stay, this is the one! The location is beautiful in a really peaceful spot, right next to a stunning waterfall and not far from town. Communication was excellent and the hosts were so kind and welcoming! The in-house food wasn’t the best but it’s easy to get into town if you’re looking for something less basic. Overall we loved our stay here and would definitely recommend.

Our stay at the Treehouse in Ella was truly a one-of-a-kind experience. The place is made entirely of wood and gives you that authentic treehouse feel - it’s cozy, rustic, and perfect if you’re looking for something unique. It’s about a 7-minute ride to the main happening spots in Ella, and the hosts can easily arrange tuk-tuks for you. The views from the treehouse are absolutely magical, especially when the mist rolls in and covers the mountain tops. You can even spot the train passing by in the distance, which adds to the charm. That said, there were a few things that could be improved. The bathroom didn’t have a jet spray and the door couldn’t be locked, which was a bit inconvenient. There were also no curtains on the front glass door, which compromised a bit on privacy. Still, the charm and uniqueness of this place made it worth it - it felt like a peaceful escape surrounded by nature. Definitely a stay to remember!

Bola was an amazing host at the Villa. He sent a driver to pick us up when we arrived and made us dinner at the villa! He gave us some helpful tips, was very attentive, and even drove us to our next destination. I will definitely stay here if I return to Ella! 10/10 recommendation:)

The place was as described – very quiet and idyllic. Again and again you could see monkeys scurrying by, which made the nature experience even more special. The passing train did not bother us. Ella can be reached on foot in about 20 minutes via the railway line – this is completely normal here and is used equally by locals and tourists. We felt completely comfortable and can definitely recommend the accommodation :)

It is a lovely tree house, very beautiful location. Very neat and clean too. Host was very helpful and friendly. Only problem was we had to walk on a stoney road to reach the stay. It is a bit far from road. Overall it was a great experience and the morning view was totally mesmerising. I highly recommend this place.

It was a beautiful place and the staff was absolutely wonderful. The wifi was not working but I guess that's common on in the hills and we ended up not missing it much since the property in one of the best ones in Sri Lanka.

Arawe Retreat is simply fantastic. From the beautifully appointed accommodation, to the attentive yet relaxed staff, to the tastiest food in Ella. We really had the best time here. Just a short Tuk Tuk from the busy centre of Ella, Arawe retreat provided an oasis of nature focused calm which was hard to leave. Ishanka and his team really have got things just right by creating the retreat around the existing nature and enhancing it. The wildlife noise at night is really something to behold and helps you drift off into relaxed tropical dreams. Huge thanks to Ishanka, Chaggar, Suren and Dashan. You really made this visit memorable and also a special thanks to Banda and Manike. We hope to get the chance to visit again x
