Very pleasant stay in a nice area. Possibilities of nice walks just behind the accommodation (you can go straight towards the Ella rock trail using the path behind the house). Great breakfasts and very nice host. Balcony in close proximity to trees / tree tops was fantastic. Ella is easy to reach by tuk-tuk. Had a good curry for dinner as well. Thanks for everything.

The scenery within the property is breathtaking, like something straight out of Jumanji. Every tropical tree you can imagine, hills, running water and a rice pattie. The location was perfect for us, only a 10 min walk to Ella town but far enough that it felt like you were in the hills. The staff were a highlight, too. They go out of their way to make your stay authentic and pleasurable. Very, very nice people.

Sat on the train writing this and genuinely feel sad to have left this place. Felt like a home away from home (with better food and views). The whole family are so so kind and we felt like and extension of their family during our stay. The accommodation is lovely with your own separate bedroom and bathroom (even mini fridge) with the most beautiful terrace overlooking the hills. We had some of the best food of our whole trip here. The breakfasts were huge and delicious and they were very flexible with timings so we could get out early for walks! We also did a cooking class with the family which was a highlight and learnt how to cook so many dishes! The son gave us a tuktuk ride to the beginning of our walks and to the train station at 0630am! (and even found out for us that the train was running from the next town instead) We also rented a scooter for the day which was a great way to explore the surrounding area and they gave us lots of pointers about where to go! Cannot fault this place at all. If you are lucky enough they have availability on your dates, definitely don’t hesitate to stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Miracle View. The cottage is spacious, comfortable, and very clean, with lovely beds and a great shower. Waking up with the truly stunning view each morning was a joy. The host is incredibly friendly and helpful. Every morning, a generous and varied breakfast was served, with something different each day. A real luxury to start the day. The house is located on top of a hill, which gives you those amazing views. It’s quite a challenging climb on foot, but the host was always happy to pick us up, even when we had our own tuk-tuk. For trips to the center, he also arranged a reliable tuk-tuk taxi without any trouble. All in all, a wonderful place to stay with a warm welcome, great facilities, and service that truly stands out. We would definitely come back.

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.
