Amazing view with the Ella rock. Super friendly host. Delicious homemade breakfast, especially the roti and coconut flakes pancakes. Quite close to the Main Street. Walking distance to the trek to nine-arch bridge (15mins) and Adam’s peak (15-20mins)

Soo kind people, nice welcome the breakfast❤️‍🩹 was amazing, well made, and fruits from the garden🌼. Especially the juice😍 (soursop?treefruit) they made straight from their own garden was heaven so good.. We walked up from their place to the nine arches, then a beautiful walk to the arches of mountain little Adam we did that to, had super vegan diner in Ella, and walked back. Amazing nice long walk all together. Exactly our 'peace 😃of cake!🌿🌜

We loved our stay in this accommodation. The room was very stylish, everything was quite new and nicely designed. The hosts are very friendly, and helpful even if they are not fluent in English. The breakfast was exceptionally delicious and each they it was slightly different. You can walk into the center in about 10-15 minutes. When it raines there will be some leeches. You need to climb some stairs to get to room but will be rewarded with a great view and also receive help with your luggage if needed. We would highly recommend this stay.

Truly worth every penny, yes the walk to the property may not be as enjoyable to everyone if you are carrying a lot of luggage but don’t think twice if you can walk 100 to 150 mts. Absolutely loved the view and the cute old couple who are the host are very sweet

We had a wonderful stay at Breeze Blows Inn Guesthouse. The rooms were spacious, beautifully maintained, and ideal for families. Each of our children had their own bed, which gave everyone some much-needed privacy and comfort after a long journey — a real plus! The location is excellent — just a couple of minutes short walk from the center of Ella, so it’s easy to explore the town. There’s also a great outdoor area with a large terrace, comfortable chairs, and a relaxing hammock — perfect for unwinding after a day of travel or sightseeing. Most of all, we truly appreciated the warm welcome and kindness of the guesthouse owner. His hospitality made us feel right at home and really added to the experience. We highly recommend Breeze Blows Inn Guesthouse to anyone visiting Ella!

Wow, what a special place! We spent 2 nights here and the family couldn’t do enough for us- so kind and generous. They made us cups of tea and coffee when we arrived and throughout our stay. Stunning location in the jungle away from the centre of Ella, with views across to Little Adam’s Peak. Delicious food- they made us an amazing curry on our 1st night- 7 different kinds with rice! And the breakfast….just delicious. Our room was very clean with a comfortable bed, mosquito net and a balcony overlooking the family farm and onto beautiful views. We used their taxi to get us around and to our next destination. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. 😊
