Tea Cabins

Of all the hotels we stayed at in Sri Lanka, this one stole our hearts! The photos seriously don't capture its magic—it absolutely blew us away. We opted for the smaller cabin with the round pool on the balcony, and it turned out to be much more spacious and modern than we anticipated. The lounge and bedroom were wonderfully cool thanks to the air conditioning, and the bathroom was luxurious with its new rain shower and large bathtub. But the best part? The beautiful, totally private pool & balcony tucked away in the lush jungle - it was just perfect! Choosing to stay here was the best decision ever. The staff pampered us with delicious fresh meals and arranged convenient tuk-tuk rides to and from town. I hope to come back someday and relive this incredible experience!

The stay was amazing, everything was perfect the cabin itself was extremely cozy and comfortable. The interior of the cabin was well done and felt like I stayed at an extremely luxurious resort. The service was also perfect was always ready to help and staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. The food was also very good. The overall experience was amazing. The best stay we had in Sri lanka. 100% recommended 👌

Excellent cabins in the Ella mountains. A must go for couples. Cabins big enough for small families. Great food, clean, and friendly staff. Simple luxury with quiet yet vibrant surroundings. Most comfortable room I've stayed in in Sri Lanka for $150usd.

Oh my goodness! If you are looking for the most wonderful, relaxing, luxurious getaway in Sri Lanka, then the Tea Cabins is the place for you. As a solo traveller, I know that it can sometimes feel a little tricky being on your own but definitely not here. This place is ideal for romantic couples but equally suitable for the solo traveller, like myself. My cabin was spacious, luxurious and fully equipped with all the comforts needed for a relaxing escape. Although I only stayed one night, I felt totally recalibrated by the time I left. In summary, the highlights were: - the most luxurious, large comfy bed - a magnificent private plunge pool- I felt like a celebrity! - the secluded location, nestled high in the hillside tea plantation region of Ella - the fabulous bathroom complete with sunken deep bath - the fridge filled with wine and whatever other drinks you fancy - the absolutely delicious traditional Sri Lankan breakfast- yum! - the non- imposing attentiveness of the lovely host ( the owner’s father- I didn’t catch his name) -the delightful tuk-tuk driver who carried my embarrassingly heavy suitcase up and down a challenging flight of stairs.He also made sure I got my train ticket to Kandy - thank- you!) This is the perfect place to relax, unwind, recalibrate in unobstrustive luxury. Thank- yuh Tea Cabins, Ella.

The accommodation was the best of our entire trip! It is fantastically located, surrounded by nature and has everything you could wish for. Also the food was great. But not only the accommodation was amazing, also the people there. Ishanka and his family make everything as easy as possible, you don’t have to worry about anything. We had a wonderful stay in the Tea cabins - dear Tea cabin family: thank you so much!!

Remember when you stay here, the place is fully immersed in nature. Expect little insects, frogs and others to pop in and say hi too! The room was quite compact but we were staying as a family, so as a couple it would be more spacious for sure. Rounded connecting bedroom to toilet, cozy and hot showers. The private plunge pool was very appealing but quite chilly! The temperatures are much cooler here due to the area so the pool was a quick dip for sure! Loved the loungers and the sounds of the birds and even the monks chanting at sunrise. Food was ok. Served when you liked and what you liked from the menu, we ate one meal here for convenience on our arrival and the rest in town just a 10 minute ride away or so. Staff were amazing. Whether it was tuk tuk rides, advice or helping with bags. They were very accommodating and was lovely. Overall great value for money, immersed in nature away from the noise of the town. Just remember if mobility is a problem there are quite a few steep steps to reach your accommodation so this maybe an issue.

04 - 06 July 2023 Tea Cabins arranged a free Tuk Tuk to come pick us up in Ella. When we arrived we had gentlemen help us with our bag to the very top of the hill. You walk through well maintained lush gardens and the sounds of birds singing in the distance. We stayed at the room with the private pool. My wife had her birthday on the 4th of July and when we entered the room they had prepared a small cake and balloons in the room which was very special. The bed was soft and comfy, everything was clean and we loved the little bird soud doorbell. With Tea Cabins you are able to escape the busy towns and you truly feel like you are tucked away in paradise. The sound of the train that rolls by once in a while is also special to hear. The restaurant is well equipped and has a delicious (breakfast included). They recently received a card machine which now makes it even more convenient to handle payments. They arranged transport for us to our next destination. If you want to end your Ella trip in a relaxed setting...this is the place to be.

This was probably our favourite place that we stayed in our 2 weeks in Sri Lanka. There are just 2 rooms on site. The room we stayed in certainly had the wow factor. The balcony, private pool and views were beautiful. Room was modern, yet with natural vibes. The entrance road may be difficult for some to reach, but the small team there will pick you up in their tuk tuk. The staff there were lovely, and Sri Lankan food at breakfast and dinner was incredible. 9 arch bridge was super close (20 mins walk on our own), and great little adventure from the cabin. Highly recommend! Jonathan and Rebecca x
