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

Winwood Ella is an absolute gem! The location is fantastic — close enough to explore everything in town, yet tucked away just enough to enjoy peace and quiet. One of the highlights for me was sitting on the balcony and watching animals casually wander past — such a unique and calming experience. It truly felt like being in harmony with nature. A perfect spot for anyone looking to relax and unwind. Highly recommended!

The room is spacious and clean with a really comfortable bed. The hosts are a lovely family that really take care of all your needs. Also the location is perfect, near all the nice restaurants and far enough to not be in the middle of all the noise.

This is an amazing place in every way. First of all, the guys who work there are amazing, very helpful, great cooks, they take care of the place and the people. We arrived very late, around 9pm, and it was no problem for them and they cooked us dinner. In addition, this beautiful balcony with a wonderful view and the sounds of nature in the evening. We sat on the balcony until late in the evening. I highly recommend this place. I will definitely stay there when I am in Sri Lanka.

we were flabbergasted by the view at ella gap from the rooftop. crew was amazingly helpful. they drove our tuktuk up to the guesthouse because we didn’t dare to drive the steep hill. hilltop is away from the busy and loud mainstreet. superquiet allthough 5 minutes from the centre. our host gave us the perfect advice to get around.

Really great location just up from the high street in quiet area. Pleasant terrace outside room with place to relax. Good hot shower with good pressure. Large bed and friendly host who offered lots of travel advice. No aircon in room, but air cooler in room was sufficient
