River Cottage, hotel in Buttala

With Demodara Nine Arch Bridge reachable in 25 miles, River Cottage provides accommodations, a restaurant, a garden, a shared lounge and a terrace.

We enjoyed our stay and wished we had more time to spend in Wellawaya and at River Cottage. I recommend a refreshing bath in the river in the morning.

Arana Sri Lanka Eco Lodge and Yoga Center, hotel in Buttala

Featuring a garden and free WiFi, Arana Sri Lanka Eco Lodge and Yoga Center is located in Ella, 1.9 mi from Demodara Nine Arch Bridge.

Amazing place, breathtaking views! We realized the moment that we checked in that we SHOULD have booked for two nights (or more) not one. I would have loved to have attended the cooking and yoga classes and simply enjoyed the majestic location.

Ella Wood Cabin, hotel in Buttala

Located 3 miles from Demodara Nine Arch Bridge, Ella Wood Cabin provides accommodations with a garden, a terrace and free shuttle service for your convenience.

I loved that it was central to Ella only a couple minutes walk into town, but also still quiet where we stayed and secluded for privacy. Additionally our host Kasun made an amazing breakfast every morning for us. Plus the little details of a hair brush, hairdryer etc. in the room just made the stay even more comfortable!!!

Barn Hills, hotel in Buttala

Providing mountain views and a terrace, Barn Hills provides accommodations well located in Ella, within a short distance of Demodara Nine Arch Bridge.

Honestly this was the best place we have stayed since we came to Sri Lanka. The most beautiful views, wonderful and kind hosts who offered us fresh fruit juice upon arrival and helped with everything we needed. We were offered free tuk tuk lifts to and from Ella center. The breakfast was delicious. Clean and big room, comfortable bed and very nice mosquito net! There was even a kettle and an iron. I would definitely go back to this place. AMAZING

Ella Breeze Homestay, hotel in Buttala

Set in Ella, Ella Breeze Homestay offers accommodations with free WiFi and seating area. A terrace with mountain views is offered in each unit. An Asian breakfast is served daily at the property.

Located in the hills but easily accessible to Ella by tuktuk or nearby bus, the homestead is a peaceful oasis away from the hubub of town. The rooms are spotlessly clean, a good size with a comfortable bed and aircon. The bathroom has a hot water shower. The meals my host, Devaka, provided were plentiful and delicious. He speaks perfect English and goes out of his way to assist you in any way he can. I cannot recommend this homestay more highly.

    A perfect private place with nice river to cool down. The caretaker makes the best breakfast and dinners. It was very clean, warm shower, outside hammocks. And the Yala North gate is close by for safari in the less crowded part of Yala. Really a gem!

    We had a wonderful stay! Our host showed us the sugar cane plantation, went on a little safari with us, spoiled our two little boys with sugar cane and river adventures and we couldn't have imagined a better stop on our road trip through Sri Lanka! The food was delicious, the service too and the host family was super friendly! Thank you for everything! We'll be happy to come back!

    We stayed here because we wanted to do a safari in Yala park. The place is really nice, a real retreat, surrounded by nature. They cooked for us - delicious dinner and they prepared a snack for the safari, which the host organised for us. Our driver Bati did an amazing job at spotting animals, he was super knowledgeable and friendly. We really enjoyed the time here.

    This is a great place with wonderful view next to the river. The extraordinary friendly staff, a very helpful family prepared extremely tasty food for breakfast and dinner. We had a great Safari experience with the Jeep of the owner - felt like we were the only visitors to Yala National Park - owner is giving all to deliver an extraordinary experience. Very recommended!

    If you like a bit of adventure into the wild, this is the pace for you! Situated only 20 minutes drive from the National Park entrance, you will get the perfect quiet & chill atmosphere away from everything. The two hammocks in the patio will help you relax even more. Breakfast & Dinner were simply delicious (homemade products). Room is good and bathroom is just outside. I would recommend the Jeep Safari experience. Thank you to the host Suj for providing us with lots of information before our arrival.

    In one word perfect! It’s a little hustle to get to the accomodation. But when you’re there bathiya will do everything to make you feel welcome. From a little walk through his garden to the amazing dinner he will provide for you. We even did 2 little safari’s in his jeep and he will tell you everything he knows about the animals and nature. When we go to Sri Lanka again, we defenitely will come back here!

    Bhagya was the perfect host. His accommodation is ideal for those who like a genuine home stay in a beautiful natural environment. The home cooked food from his mum was excellent. Bhagya looked after us and showed us around the local area. We also booked a safari into Yala national park with Bhagya and were very lucky to see lots of wild life including 2 leopards- thanks to his keen eyesight. Over all an excellent 3 night stay.

    Lovely peaceful cabin near the national park. Bhagya is a great host and the accommodation is ideal. The vain is private and comes with kitchenette loaded with snacks and cold drinks (even beer) and a washing machine for your clothes! The location is next to the national park, making it perfect for a safari trip. The food prepared by Bhagya’s mum is some of the best I’ve had in a two week trip in Sri Lanka!

    Very welcoming host who took us for a drive on his jeep to see the elephants on the day we arrived. Mama makes the best food! And the safari drive into the park was worth it. Would definitely recommend! Very homely location on a farm
