We stayed 2 nights in the cabin with the most amazing view on 9 Arch Bridge and the surroundings. It is a very peaceful place, clean and made with love, away from the noise and crowds of Ella town, yet very well situated to visit the main attractions. 9 Arch Bridge is only a 5min walk downhill from the cabin and from its terrace (or even the bed) prime views of the bridge and passing trains can be enjoyed. What we loved most about this place however, other than the stunning views and cozy cabin, were the owners (a lovely sri lankan couple) which were so warm and welcoming, absolute treasures. They were very helpful, interested and discrete and they spoiled us with delicious juices and food for breakfast and dinner. We recommend this place without a doubt to everyone that wants to have a beautiful encounter with a caring host family and have a magical stay in Ella nature.

Madusha was such a lovely host, she made us feel at home right away. The cottage is super clean, has all you need even a mini bar and kettle, 5-star matras and pillows and soft bedlinen. The view is stunning and the surrounding is very peaceful. Ideal to unwind and relax. The homemade food is delicious and I highly recommend everyone to have your diner at home, made by Madusha. Lots of vegetables and fresh fruit. Breakfast is also amazing and every day it's different.

This property is simply magical. Although it is a bit of a splurge, it’s definitely worth it. The retreat is super peaceful and the decor is lovely. Breakfast was great. Staff is super friendly. Location is also amazing, within a 5-10min walk from all the restaurants. We definitely recommend staying here!

An amazing place! Located up a hill, away from very busy Ella town. Cabins are specious, beautiful finished and very clean. We woke up every day to a sunrise which we could admire from our balcony of each cabin. The host is just exceptional! Delicious home cooked breakfast is delivered to your room every morning. We also took a cookery class at the property and were able to enjoy home cooked meal together! 10 out of 10!

    Our stay at River Lodge was very pleasant. The room was clean, spacious, comfy bed & shower. You can hear the river from the rooms and restaurant. The local Sri Lankan food was really tasty. The owner and his colleagues are very friendly and made us feel like home. In the morning we took bath in the river and lay in the grass under the trees to read a book. The room is very cheap for the quality of the stay. We really recommend staying at River Lodge!
