Saddle Cottage

We love Saddle Cottage! We couldn’t recommend it enough. The view is exceptional. This was our first stop on a 2 week trip and 3 nights was perfect. It is located a little out of Ella town and can feel difficult to get to by looking at Google Maps, but it’s a really quick and straightforward 10 minute walk along the train tracks (just bring a torch for the evening). When we arrived, we were dropped off at the top of the road, walked 5 minutes downhill and Saddle’s wonderful owners were there to meet us to escort us along the final 100m. They couldn’t have been more welcoming. There’s only 2 rooms (both en suite) and you get a fantastic balcony with an incredible view to look at. Breakfast is delicious, changing every day and made even more special by the incredible views of the valley. Why would anyone stay in Ella town and miss these views!! The accommodation is quite basic, but is clean, bed is comfy, room is large and you’re provided with an adequate room fan, mosquito net and fresh towels. The view from the shower is as good as from the bed! So affordable and our favourite stop of the trip - thank you Saddle.

Nothing!

The view is stunning and you are really in the middle of nature. So many birds to watch from the balcony and you hear nature all day. The host family are the sweetest and they really try and help accomodate.

I liked all of it. The place is secluded but I think thats much better than being on the main strip. I often walked to town or asked the host to book me a tuk tuk for a fair price

The location, view, the owners, everything was great!! They do everything to make you happy. Even laundry! 10 minute walk over the trainrail to Ella centre. Two lovely appartements with terras, beautiful view on the valey and waterfall. Good breakfast.
