The Hill Country - Sri Lanka - page 404

Down a quiet forested lane five minutes' walk from central Ella, Sita's Heaven offers the
best of both worlds, with privacy and great views. It's the kind of place where visitors end
up staying longer than they planned.

This is a sweet little three-room homestay with comfortable mattresses and roses on the

terrace to eat breakfast on.
Little Folly CHALET

)
Quaint Little Red Riding Hood wooden cottages squirreled away in a forest that, if not the
home of a big bad wolf, is probably home to a monkey or two. The cottages are airy, bright
and clean and everything is made of wood. There's a top-notch roadside tea and cake shop.
Chamodya Homestay HOMESTAY
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; 357 5432;r incl breakfast Rs 3400, without bathroom Rs 2500)
This is a cute, little, hidden-away homestay fringed by jungle, bathed in peace and run by a
lady who barely stops smiling. There are only two rooms (one of which has a shared bath-
room) so try and book ahead. A three-wheeler ride from town costs Rs 200.
