View Point, a delightfully isolated 8km from Ella, has bright villas that combine soaring
ceilings with a tacky overdose - we suggest beheading the pink teddy bears found in each
bed. Afterwards clean yourself of your crime in the shower (read: space station), which
comes with built-in lights, radio, massage functions, seats and even water!
A three-wheeler from Ella should cost betwenn Rs 400 and 500. Motorcycles can be
rented for Rs 1000 per day for off-the-beaten-path exploring.
Green Hill
GUESTHOUSE
This guesthouse is a short walk from the town centre down a quiet country lane. The
rooms are a little overpriced based on quality alone, but when you're on the terrace, relax-
ing on a bean bag and enjoying the view you probably won't care about such things. There
is positive feedback about the food in the guestbook.
Hill Top Guest House
GUESTHOUSE
Sprucely maintained rooms, views of Ella Gap to die for and a welcoming family add up
to one of Ella's best. The house is surrounded by verdant gardens, giving a sense of pri-
vacy. Good Sri Lankan meals are available.

RESORT

Set in tea gardens a short way out of town, the 12 stilted cottages here have fabulous views
towards Little Adam's Peak. Rooms are of the earthy, rustic-luxury type and the tea-bush-
hemmed swimming pool is a huge bonus. Service can be a little curt and it's perhaps not
quite as special as the price tag indicates.
There's an in-house spa and Ayurveda centre.
