    Tucked away in the nature, surrounded by beautiful flowers and scenic views, you’ll find this dreamy place. Wish I could go again to have the delicious breakfast there on the terrace. The hosts are the kindest people. You’ll feel at home.

    Amazing location, with an uninterrupted ‘dream view’ of Ella’s Rock, Little Adam’s Peak and the whole valley. Very peaceful and quiet, but less than 10 minute walk to the hustle and bustle of Ella. Lovely accommodation and fantastic host. Danuka was very helpful and always available. Organised laundry, provided great breakfast and lots of Sri Lankan tea.

    This is a wonderful retreat close to the centre of busy Ella. The cottage is perched on the edge of a steep hill with a magnificent view of Ella Gap and Ella Rock. Eating breakfast , freshly cooked by Danuka and family, on the terrace is a lovely experience. The room and bathroom are quite rustic and simple. But there is good light, a strong fan, lots of power points, a fridge and kettle. A cmfortable bed too. You are surrounded by nature. Monkeys are nearby. Deer visited at night apparently. One morning a hawk-eagle perched for a long time on a nearby branch.

    Stunning location with magnificent views. Peaceful. Magical. A short walk to town. Great for anyone, but this place would be amazing for a couple. Such a romantic location. The owner, Danuka, was very nice and very helpful. Would definitely stay here again!

    Fabulous view of Ella Rock and Little Adam's Peak. Very strong WiFi. Ella is a busy town, we were only a 10 minute walk but Dream View is very peaceful. The host is very helpful. Breakfast excellent, you will not need a lunch

    Really nice view. Simple but cosy apartment which you have for you alone. Outside of the Main street, quiet in the Night except you hear some monkeys climbing:) The owner was so nice, waiting with breakfast for us, because we were out exploring Ella in the morning. We enjoyed the stay very much and would come again!

    There are leeches in the Ella area and this homestay is not immune to them unfortunately. Check your shoes and clothes before you enter the room and just be careful they are horrible little suckers to deal with!

    The view and the breakfast are tied for first place! We really enjoyed sitting on the verandah with a cup of delicious tea looking at the million dollar views of Ella Rock and Little Adam’s Peak. The views were magnificent at all times of the day and we never got tired of enjoying them. The breakfasts provided by Danuka’s wife were delicious and generous. We looked forward to them from the night before hehe. Danuka has a tuk tuk with reasonably priced fares. We walked to and from Ella in under ten minutes each way, no problem. It is an easy walk from the home stay to the start of the Little Adam’s Peak trailhead. There are a few steps (44 says hubby who counted them) from the road down to the homestay but not a problem if you are reasonably fit and can carry your own bags (although Danuka does help you to carry).

    The view is just amazing! We had a wonderfull stay at this appartment! It is incredible how such a beautiful place with this view and a lot of privacy is so close to the centre of Ella(7min walk). We even wanted to extend our visit. The breakfast was delicious and the coffee was great. The bathroom was clean and the hot shower was great. The host is super friendly. He gave us a couple of rides to the centre. We want to come back for sure!

    Great spot to stay in Ella, beautiful views, very peaceful but still short walk to the town centre. Danuka made us delicious breakfast and drove us to our next destination in his tuktuk. He also organised a taxi service with his brother who was very kind and drove us a long way. Really appreciated, great service and stay in general.

    Amazing little bungalow with two beds, bathroom and mini fridge. Close to Ella town (about 10 min walk) but you feel like you’re in the middle of the mountains. The view of Ella rock is amazing. The breakfast is great and more than enough food! It’s the only unit and it’s the furthest from the road so you have privacy, feels like you have the mountain to yourself!

    Care is needed when descending the stairs to the accommodation, particularly in the wet - as I found out!

    Great location, amazing view in relative seclusion, but still only 10mims walk to town. Danuka is very hospitable and makes an excellent breakfast.

    This place is a true gem. I cannot begin the emphasis how serene and breath taking the view is. It's better than the pictures. The place is literally the last place before the valley overlooking Ella Rock which looks like in touching distance. The location is facing the rising morning sun and is therefore shielded from the afternoon sun so therefore it's nice and cool on veranda. It's also within walking distance to town and the wildlife is amazing. There is a whole gang of monkeys that sleep on the huge pine trees right in front on the place and scamper away up hill during the day and returns back to sleep there early evening. It was immensely enjoyable watching the families of monkeys cuddling on the pines and I kept fruit from breakfast to feed them. Whilst cautious the monkeys will come very close to you if you feed them. I also spotted a woodpecker right outside the room. The owner's (who lives nearby) dog might also come hang out with you if you show interest in the dog. At points when I returned back from Ella town, it's attractions or walks, I felt the view from the stay was the major attraction. It's truly a dream view. The owner is a lovely and helpful man too. Don't miss out on this spot.
