New Farmers Paradise

It was peaceful and the food Damianti cooked, much from her own farm, was delicious

Gorgeous views from the balcony and terrace. Lovely kitty snoozing in the sun. Polite, helpful and smiley hosts ready to help us with whatever we needed. Varied and ‘just enough’ breakfast (we found lots of places in Sri Lanka overfed us in the mornings and then we felt bad having to waste food). The home stay is basic but charming and was one of our favourites in Sri Lanka overall, it’s so peaceful!

I can only repeat the other reviews and say do be warned that the property is at the top of a broken and steep mountain road. It’s only a 20 minute walk to town but that walk requires a degree of fitness due to the terrain. If you take the tuk tuk (which the home stay are great at arranging for you), be prepared for a bumpy journey. We stayed in the room with two double beds, which, whilst great from a bed perspective, did mean that there was no space whatsoever in the room to really even open your suitcase. But it’s basically as advertised and the beds are comfy.

The outside area was nice as well as the location and the view. The breakfast was outstanding and the wife of the owner was very kind to us. The owner was funny and showed us his farm work and crops, which was very interesting.

The ceiling of our room was moldy. This caused bad smell in the room. But we also saw that he is working on new, very nice rooms. Even though the owner was nice to us at all times, he was a bit clingy sometimes, for example when we came back from trips, he was waiting in front of the property for us, even in the night. I think he wanted to be responsible, but it was a little bit too much. Once he invited us to a beer and gave us the impression that it was free, but at the end he charged us unexpectedly for the beer.

For us, this was the best home-stay in all of sri lanka! Breakfast was delicious and filling, the owners, especially Damianti, are so kind and accomodating and will help you with everything you need! If we ever come back to Ella, we‘ll definitely stay here again!

Nice, peaceful location a 20 min walk from the town. Very comfortable stay. The family were so helpful. Ari took the time to climb Ella Rock with us. Breakfast/Dinner was excellent.

My stay at new farmers was great. A beautiful peaceful location with beautiful views. The room was very comfortable and had a cosy hammock to relax in. The host family were so lovely and helpful and the food was incredible. Definitely would stay again

The home stay was amazing The room was okay The overall experience was one of the best I have ever had The owners were the most beautiful people I have met The food was worthy of a 5 star resort We had dinner twice and our breakfasts after 2 early morning hikes was magnificent Don’t stay here if you want luxury but the generosity warmth love and kindness is immeasurable My favourite place I have stayed

Broken toilet seat Cold showers(getting used to them)

Beautiful place with a great view! The host is very kind and her cuisine is delicious! I recommend trying her food! The room is comfortable and the patio with the hammock is super! Surrounded by nature and animals! They also help you with their tuktuk to go to the center ! But it’s a walkable distance anyway.
