Summary: An amazing experience, sleeping in the canopy of the forest. We saw lots of animals and fireflies at night. Accommodation is basic as you would expect but beds and bathroom were clean. Ella is a 5-10 minute walk away via the railway tracks. Route was easy to find as directed by our host. Breakfast was delicious and filling.

Summary: I can't say enough about how wonderful this place is. It is rustic, peaceful and quiet with a beautiful view. The breakfast is excellent and the hospitality is outstanding. My only word of caution is that there are many steep stairs to get from the road to the property so it wouldnt be appropriate for people living with mobility limitations. Otherwise i highly recommend it.

Summary: Ella nature rest is a bit above Ella, which is nice as the town is very busy and hectic.
However, there are many steep stairs to get to the hotel. But we managed it fine.
It's a 10-15-minute walk to Ella along the train tracks, which is quite nice and offers great views.
The hotel room had amazing views, and the breakfast was great. We had so much food and got to eat it on the lovely balcony with the view.
You can hear the trains occasionally, but they don't run that often, so it didn't bother me at all.
There is no air con, but there is a fan.
The water seemed to not work very well on the sink or toilet, and it was a bit touch and go whether we could flush the toilet.
The bedsheets were not that clean, but it was a very cheap hotel so I guess you get what I pay for!

Summary: Very nice stuff and good with a home made breakfast. Wonderful view, it’s a really steep hill up though so either you have to take a car or have good condition (I took the steps as part of my working out routine :)

Summary: Ella's Nature Nest is a beautiful spot to spend a few days in a peaceful setting. Close to town, but quiet, the owners are welcoming and hospitable and breakfast is included (not mentioned when booking). Wonderful location to wake up to with stunning views and birdsong. Highly highly recommended.

Summary: Nice little homestay up a hill. Lovely views over the valley and Ella Rock. We had the family room with two large double beds.
Niresha was very sweet and helpful, did some laundry for us and provided an evening meal at a good price the evening we arrived.
The bathroom is quite old but functional. Shower is weak but lots of hot water.
Danushka took us to a few sights in his tuktuk which was very convenient.
We took contact details of our tuktuk driver at the station on arrival and used him a few times to ferry us about five hundred rupees to get to or from town.
Beds were very comfortable!

Summary: Ella Nature Nest is a very quiet little place with a fantastic view of the waterfall and surrounding mountains. You can actually hear the waterfall from your room, which is very nice. It is within walking distance from wherever you want to go in Ella, but is not too close to the very touristic downtown area. The breakfasts and teatime are tranquil and lovely. The staff is extremely helpful and kind. I cannot recommend it enough and I hope to be back myself.
