Ellakanda Nature Villa

Excellent value for money . A lovely peaceful villa with a nice swimming pool . The location is ideal, quiet. The atmosphere is very relaxing.Food was perfect.

Although we didn’t use it the swimming pool looked nice and the area around the swimming pool. My daughter loved the pool table.

The host seemed quite shy and not very engaging so at times felt awkward. The room could do with a refresh as it was tatty in places. It says there is a tv but tv does not work although not important. But as it gets dark quite early in Sri Lanka watching the tv to relax in the evening might have been nice. On the second night could not get WiFi at all. Breakfast was nice although cold which was slightly off putting when its chicken curry etc

Staff were excellent, very helpful and friendly. As were all of the locals who lived nearby. Lovely people. Lots of flora and fauna. A bird watchers paradise. Food cooked at the hotel was good.

Very few places to eat other than at the hotel.

Everything. It was the best welcome we got to Sri Lanka. From the time we arrived till we left, the staff looked after us. The whole villa is very nicely maintained and the bed room we booked had a beautiful view of the mountain. A comfortable bed with very , very nice linen and pillows. We were tired after a long flight from Europe and chose to stay here as a place closer to the south as it is a short drive to the southern expressway . Not disappointed at all with the inviting pool, the constant sound of birds and tasty meals we were served for the brief time we stayed. I recommend at least 2 nights if you're staying here as there is much to explore surrounding the villa. Hiking up Ellakanda hill is a must if this is your first time in Sri Lanka. The villa staff are more than happy to take you on the trail. It is not difficult at all. We ordered Sri Lankan food throughout our stay as it was our first time visiting the country and the cook gave our tastebuds a great introduction. It was by far some of the tastiest Sri Lankan food we had for the entire trip. We intend on staying for two more nights before our departure as this kind of value for money is unbeatable. Thank you to everyone at the villa for making our first days in Sri Lanka so good.

Nothing. Everything exceeded our expectations.
