About This Listing
Experience Ella and visit the surrounding sites from this nice little homestay.
The Space
Thilani’s is a nice house with two rooms especially made for guests. The place comes with private bathrooms, a veranda, a living room, a kitchen, a sweet dog, a kitty and, if you come in season, you can pick fruit from the garden.
Interaction with Guests
Ms. Thilani lives in the home with her husband and three daughters. Hosting guests is her way to make a bit of extra income and she’s always present to take care of you. Ms. Thilani does some serious cooking, with specialties like Pol Sambol and her Spicy Beef Curry. She even has a real menu.
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.
Thilani’s is ideally situated as a starting point for trips to highlights such as Little Adam’s Peak, Ravana Caves and the Ravana Waterfall.
