Holiday houses in Kumbalwela

Our stay at this Airbnb was very pleasant and! The room was spacious and looks even better then on pictures, offering a breathtaking view of the mountains that we couldn’t get enough of. Starting our mornings with breakfast on the beautiful balcony, surrounded by such serene nature, truly set a peaceful tone for the rest of our day. The cleanliness and tidiness of the place were impeccable, and it was equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable rest amidst our Sri Lankan adventures. Its location, slightly away from the city center, provided the calm and connection to nature we were longing for. What made our experience even more special were the hosts, whose hospitality, proactiveness, and charm were unparalleled. We felt so welcomed and taken care of during our stay. We wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat in Ella with stunning views and exceptional hosts.

We had a great stay at the butterfly nest. The accommodation is very nice with a breathtaking view. Sandy and her employees take very good care of their guests. We have received many great recommendations for excursions and they have helped in organizing trips and excursions. We would recommend the accommodation to everyone! 😊

Everything was great, beautiful view from the window, cozy cabin

Nice place to stay in Ella but no view which is a minus in this area. We were happy with the stay, the breakfasts offered and the help the owner offered in every matter :)

We were completely happy with the place. The view from the balcony is wonderful, especially in the evening when you can take the time to look at the starry sky! The communication with Dominic's girlfriend was very great: helpful, friendly and always available. We celebrated a birthday here and when preparing a small surprise, the entire team was always on hand and supported me in every wish, thank you again! If you are looking for a quiet accommodation, a little away from the city bustle and are looking for a great view, I can highly recommend this accommodation. A tiny hack is the shower, there is an extra connection for the hot water and you can not always optimally set the desired temperature, but for us that was a small problem. We were happy all around.

Absolutely loved our 2-night stay at Villa Joy! We're a Dutch couple and from the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. The scenic tuktuk ride through tea fields (booked via Villa Joy) was bumpy at the end, but totally worth it — the mountain views are breathtaking. Waking up to birdsong and coffee on the terrace felt magical. The cooking class with Sakura and her warm team was a true highlight — fun, hands-on, and super tasty! The room was clean, peaceful, and beautifully decorated with flowers. Excellent communication before and during our stay made everything easy. We left feeling recharged and cared for. Highly recommend this little slice of paradise!

We had an unforgettable time in the cubes at Hideout! The accommodation is truly something special - with its glamping character and the unique view of the Nine Arch Bridge, it is simply fantastic. Waking up to this view every morning was a real highlight. The host is incredibly friendly and helpful – you immediately feel welcome, and every wish is really fulfilled. Whether tips on the surroundings, food or transport: everything is taken care of! A small note: The accommodation is a bit off the beaten path, so you can't walk directly to Ella town. Even normal taxis can't get up the narrow street - but the host will always arrange a tuk-tuk driver to take you reliably. Recommendation for all those who are looking for nature, peace and something special!

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!
