Gorgeous place, so modern and the view's amazing! Felt so comfy and relaxed after that long drive. Peaceful and quiet, but just a 15-minute stroll to Ella town. The host was super friendly and helpful, and breakfast was great. She even packed us an awesome breakfast to go when we had to leave early for our train!

If you like the contact with the wild nature, this place will be for you. On our side we have been pleasantly surprised by the location even if it is very close to the Ella center. We have been able to walk to the center where there are a lot of restaurant for only 10 minutes. The couple who rent the rooms are very kind and they serve a breakfast completly homemade (even the jam). The breakfast is served on your own room terrace in front of the jungle (discreetly, through a hidden door)

We had an amazing stay at the On Rock homestay! The homestay is located between Ella Rock and Little Adams Peak in the jungle, so there is an amazing view! The best part about our stay was the very friendly and helpfull host Rivandu. He helped us with activities en drove us around with his tuktuk. We will miss this place and would love to come back!

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
