Kavindu Homestay

This is a truly authentic Homestay experience. They have one en-suite room attached to their small, humble home. What they lack in facilities they more than make up for in friendliness and service. We had breakfast one morning which was LKR 900 and it was enormous and enough to feed us for the day. You share the house with three generations who are all happy to chat and are always offering you tea which is very kind. On a morning monkeys visit the terrace looking for food which is cool……if you like monkeys. The location is a 10 minutes walk from Ella centre and 20 from the train station. If you are looking for a true Sri Lankan experience in a rustic setting then this is for you. It is incredibly cheap and unique accommodation.

Great location, lovely helpful family. Got to see many monkeys from the patio. We were provided with delicious traditional breakfast and lots of tea! Also got a free tuk tuk ride to the train station. Thank you very much!

comfortable room with beautiful view grom the terrace.

It was a nice local family living here. Grandparents with their children and grandchildren. In beautiful nature, walking distance from the busy centre of Ella, but away from all that. We saw the big squirels, called punishmentsquirrels and beautifull birds from the terrace. The grandmother has an adult autistic son living there. I am autistic, but less noticeble and was happy to see the son living here happily at home with his family. The hotwater shower was the best my son said. (I stayed with my 15 year old son) We had a fan. The room was perfect, only downside was just one plug

They can do nothing about it, but the last road, i found to steep for our bike. But i parked it down the road and it was fine.

We really enjoyed our 7 night stay at Kavindu Homestay. The location is perfect for walking into the main street of Ella and to all the main attractions like 9 arch bridge, little Adams peak etc. The room was basic but comfortable, excellent for the price. The host was the most lovely lady we have met during our whole stay in Sri Lanka. Always a smiling face when we came back from a day out and often provided a pot of tea. Her family was around too, it was lovely to meet them and get to know the family a little during our stay for a genuine Sri Lankan experience. We had breakfast at the homestay every day which was an authentic Sri Lankan breakfast. It was slightly different each day so we were able to try lots of different things, I would highly recommend having the breakfast for a small extra cost.
