Holiday rentals with a patio in Ella

Had a great stay. It’s a property with a gate hard to spot but it’s there 😊. The property is close to both the railway station and also to the Main Street so easy to find places to eat. The master bedroom toilet seat etc could be changed and interiors upgraded to give a brighter look, but as we stayed there only two days and spent most of it outside, no complaints.

If you are looking a place to switch off and charge batteries in peace than this is the perfect place. There is no WiFi and you are in the middle of Tea plantation. The outside kitchen and living room are amazing and the view is breathtaking. That being said, if you are scared of natue (bugs, lizards etc.) you should avoid this accommodation. This place is really to enjoy and be one with the surrounding. The host is really responsive to all the questions and the caretaker very nice and helpful. Accommodation is close to center and shops and restaurants. We mostly enjoyed the outside living room and kitchen. Rooms are just as the host desribed. Little stone house is beautiful. Would recommend this to all the nature lovers.

Even though the villa is remote, down a windy and narrow road, Fernando was always willing to drive us to and from town. Our stay was very enjoyable, we particularly liked the beautiful views, and the delicious breakfast! Fernando ensured we had a comfortable and pleasant stay!

We had a lovely time. We stayed at the cottage. The property is lovely and the meals are great. We enjoyed the beautiful natural pools that are very nearby, and if you are in Ella for hikes and nature, this is a great place to stay. But if you want to be near the train station and town, you may want to look somewhere there. This is in the mountains, which is what we were looking for.

Arawe Retreat is simply fantastic. From the beautifully appointed accommodation, to the attentive yet relaxed staff, to the tastiest food in Ella. We really had the best time here. Just a short Tuk Tuk from the busy centre of Ella, Arawe retreat provided an oasis of nature focused calm which was hard to leave. Ishanka and his team really have got things just right by creating the retreat around the existing nature and enhancing it. The wildlife noise at night is really something to behold and helps you drift off into relaxed tropical dreams. Huge thanks to Ishanka, Chaggar, Suren and Dashan. You really made this visit memorable and also a special thanks to Banda and Manike. We hope to get the chance to visit again x

The best of the place is the View. You can lie down in the balcony and get lost in the spectacular expanse, and watch the trains come by overlooking the 9 Arch bridge. A special thanks to Abhi, who took care of us very well, though it was New Years and most shops were closed, he went over and beyond to help with food, travel etc.. 5 Star rating specifically for his hospitality. if you are a couple looking for a cozy get away, then definitely recommended
