    A unique location for a stay in Ella. Although almost hidden away, one could easily access the main attractions of the area nearby. The family who run the lodge was very friendly, welcoming hosts, we could recommend to anyone visiting the area.

    Beautiful, nice views, and very relaxing. Perfect location if you plan on doing hikes and get away from the noise of main streets of Ella. Breakfasts were varied and tasty, and with good quantity. Hosts were friendly and helpful
