This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available.

Aloft view is the best place in Ella. If you’re looking for authenticity, for intimacy and a royal treatment this is the place for you. The view from the bed is incredible. It’s perfectly accurate as shown in the pictures, cause you can see a mix of the mountains and the jungle. You can also hear some monkeys around you! The breakfast and dinner were pure Sri Lankan style, cooked by a Sri Lankan family. It has all the richness you can’t expect in a standard restaurant. We had amazing crepes with coconut, delicious omelettes and for dinner a seasoned rice with chicken and curry. This family is the luxury that everyone dreams of. We will remember them all our lives.

The family’s running it is super nice. They always have good energy and very attentive. Would highly

    Holiday homes guest inn was absolutely sublime, it was clean and well presented. I went there for some privacy as I was very sick and the hostess looked after me as if I were her own family, bringing me dry toast and refreshing drinks and medicine to my room. I felt so comfortable and felt much better the next day, and enjoyed breakfast from the restaurant which has an amazing view.

    Host Mr. Kamal is a great person and very friendly. We enjoyed every minute we stayed in Moonlight. The breakfast was amazing! The room is comfy and cozy. We enjoyed the bike rental service provided by the Holiday home itself. We stayed 3 days and with the help of Mr. Kamal, we were able to get the best out of the vacation. I guess this is the only place in Ella that give exceptional service even though you are a Local. Love this place, and this will be our forever place if we come to Ella again! Thank you so much!
