We had a amazing stay here, the rooms are very new, good water pressure and very clean. You can enjoy a nice view from the balcony. The owner is a great host, and loves to show you around his garden, and have a good chat with you. Definitely recommend this place. Thank you again for the unforgettable stay!

We loved out stay at Arawe, it was one of the most pleasant stays in Sri Lanka. The bungalow was beautifully decorated, it’s located near the forest and tea plantations and it’s within walking distance from the city center. The breakfast was excellent. Our daughter loved to play with the friendly dogs and cat, we saw a lot of birds and even fireflies at night.

We had a fantastic time here. A lovely place just outside the busy center of Ella. The rooms are fantastic and have great views of the area and from your bed you can see the sun rise in the morning ! But above all, the owners are fantastic. Really enjoyed the cooking class as well. It hurt to leave.

We stayed here for 2 nights and were so happy we chose to be slightly out of the main streets of Ella. It was so peaceful at the Spice Lodge and only a short tuk tuk or walk down to the hustle and main restaurants of Ella. The host did try to contact us for our arrival time to help us up the stairs with our bags, but I missed the message. The gorgeous rooms have such fun little touches splashed around the place, the bed, desk, and doors are all made out of pallets and lots of other handmade items make it feel very homey. There's a kettle and fridge and breakfast is served at the time you ask for on the little outdoor table. It is very clean and as there are only two rooms it's very private as well. From here we walked 30 minutes to the top of Little Adams Peak. We also did the walk to the nine arches bridge early one morning.

The Spice Lodge is a special place located within walking distance to Ella center. The family that runs the lodge are the kindest, most helpful people. The breakfast was delicious, and the dinner we had was the best curry we had on our trip. Highly recommended lodging.
