This is a hidden gem! You may not think so when you first stand outside the building, but trust the reviews! Nadi is an exceptional host. So caring, kind and generous. The room is excellent. The bed is huge and really comfortable and the room has beautiful views into the valley. You will be spoiled with an incredibly delicious home cooked breakfast (a different one every day!). The location is also superb. A 6 minute scooter drive up the hill into town. Our stay has been exceptional, would highly recommend :)

Everything was very clean. We had hot water, toilet paper, soap, and good wifi. The breakfast was very delicious and every day we had something different. The family was welcoming and helped us in every possible way when we asked. It is literally in the middle of nature, very quiet, green, and you can enjoy the sound of birds,insects. Highly recommend Mountain Shack if you want a relaxing, quiet stay in Ella!

What a stunning location and such a friendly and kind family! The rooms are absolutely stunning and the location genuinely unbeatable. You do have to be prepared to walk up and down a large flight of stairs to benefit from that beauty but it is totally worth it. The hosting family were extremely helpful, kind and thoughtful. We would not hesitate to recommend this place to any traveller looking for somewhere off the beaten track!

Everything is brand new, super clean and nicely decorated. Spacious room, very comfortable bed, nice bathroom (with good water pressure and warm water), outside terrace. Breakfast was superb (and a lot!!). The host is extremely friendly and goes out of his way to make your stay a perfect experience. Location is great as well (10-15mins to Ella train station, close to the city center with many Restaurants and bars, nearby hikes to the Nine Arches Bridge and Little Adams Peak), just the final ascend to the accomodation is a bit steep (no problem though unless maybe you happen to have very much luggage).

    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.
