A wonderful homestay with excellent hospitality & home made food

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 5 Apr 2023via mobile
A stay at Waterfalls homestay is truly like staying with family. Kiah
, Lakshan & their little son are delightful hosts, with a beautiful home.We stayed for 2 nights, eating dinner there the second night. Everything we ate was top quality & homemade. The best breakfast anywhere in Sri Lanka! The only word of caution is that the house is a long way up a steep hill which is not fully accesible by car, so if you are not prepared to walk 15 minutes uphill from Ella town, you will need a tuktuk, especially with luggage
Date of stay: April 2023
Room Tip: Difficult for car or van to reach (& final hill into driveway impossible) dso you may need to use...
Trip type: Travelled with friends

Khia and lakshan were such amazing hosts. Our little boy and their little boy were fast friends and our son made himself at home. They were so gracious and accommodating with anything we needed. Their breakfasts was the best we had- no doubt. Lakshan is gifted with making omelets and khia’s homemade muffins and breads were so delicious.

We’ll definitely be coming back!

Many thanks to LAXAM + KAYA for your welcome !
Correct bedroom and diner + breakfast at top level.
Good taste : you have made the difference with a real cooking effort.
Very peaceful place with view on the waterfalls : some noise, but what a landscape.

Room tip: Take a YOGA training on the terrace ! (extra service but very useful for the mind)

In the middle of the mountainous jungle, very pleasant welcome from Kiah and Lakshan. comfortable and colorful room with a bow window overlooking lush and fascinating vegetation.great view on the waterfall. Large terrace of the house to rest or take meals. Thank you to both of you for your welcome, your discretion and our meeting, which was too short; We wished we could have stayed longer...

Having found ourselves in a very gloomy property in the very chilly high tea country, we threw in the towel and booked a night at Waterfalls Homestay, where we were lucky enough to stay three years ago. Delightful hosts, very comfy room and simply delicious breakfast. Ella rocks with lots of fabulous places to dine in the evening - cocktails, delicious food and live music. A serious lift to the spirits.

My parter and I were reccomend Waterfalls Homestay and we couldn't have been happier to have landed there for our one night stop over in Ella. Kiah and her family were the perfect hosts, settling us in, giving us a great tip for dinner, helping out with transport, and providing a beautiful breakfast in the morning. The setting is stunning and the room was comfortable and clean. We would definitely stay here again and would reccomend for anyone looking for a gem in Ella, this is it!
