What a lovely place to stay. Incedible view that you can admire straight from your bed. Spacious and comfortable rooms that have everything you need: big and comfy bed, well equiped bathroom, big windows and a tarace where you will have delicious and healthy home made breakfasts. The room was very clean and all the property is well maintaned. And most of all I was very delighted by great hospitality and service provided by the owner. Highly recommend this place especially, if you want to be close to very lively Ella town, but far enough to rather enjoy sounds and beauty of nature. Thank you for this incedible time I had during my stay in Tea Hills Ella!

Our host was incredibly hospitable and went out of his way to meet our every want and need. He drove us and picked us up, suggested activities, and helped us out in an emergency when we needed to go to the local hospital. The rooms boast amazing views of the jungle, which is full of fireflies at night. They also have a projector so you can stream entertainment of your choice. 10/10 I strongly recommend Fern Hill cabins for your stay in Ella.

The hosts are the most lovely people ever. They truly care about their guests and even prepared breakfast for us to go at 5.30am. The house is a bit out of town but the walk there in the evening is magical, surrounded by fireflies and nature you can walk down the street in easy 20min from town. Highly recommend :)

Serene environment, top quality service from the lovely owner, the room was immaculate with everything we needed and very picturesque. The host even provided us with tea, water and laundry service. Possibly the best place we’ve stayed in Sri Lanka, and do not be put off by the negative reviews regarding the driveway, it is easy via Tuktuk and worth it for the views and privacy. Their tuktuk shuttle is free and available 24/7 - thank you again for a wonderful stay ❤️ the best place to eat is Ella Siyapatha Hut Restaurant. This was the most authentic meal we had that was cooked by the gorgeous family. Truly an amazing experience if you’re in Zella

Sri Lankan Breakfast. Brilliant location. 5 minute walk into main town and train station along the train tracks. Very clean, spacious room. Beautiful view of Ella rock and the valley below. Friendly owners, one is a guide for Ella rock and considerably cheaper than online prices.
