About This Listing
Visit Ella from this well-kept home stay next to the charming railway station.
The Space
Kusuma’s home is a big well-kept house right next to the Ella Station. It’s a two story home with four spacious rooms with private bathrooms, which are rented out by the room. There’s a balcony overlooking the railway tracks and you can enjoy the garden that Ms. Kusuma keeps tidy. Nice place.
Interaction with Guests
Ms. Kusuma recently retired after having worked in the garment industry as a supervisor. Now she hosts guests in her house on full-time basis. She speaks a bit of English, can help arrange trips and cooks great Sri Lankan meals such as hoppers, sambol and curries.
The Neighborhood
When you hear Sri Lankans speak about Ella, it sounds as if they’re talking about some icy alpine basecamp high up in the clouds. “It’s freezing there”, they say. “Bring warm clothes”, they say. But don’t worry: although this might be one of the few places in the country where a hot shower is justified, Ella is a very nice place to cool off after a week on Sri Lanka’s beaches.
