Holiday rentals in Monaragala

We had a great stay at the butterfly nest. The accommodation is very nice with a breathtaking view. Sandy and her employees take very good care of their guests. We have received many great recommendations for excursions and they have helped in organizing trips and excursions. We would recommend the accommodation to everyone! 😊

Unique place to stay, removed from the main tourist trail in Sri Lanka. Camp has been built up over decades with plenty of spaces to relax, read books, meet fellow travellers. People of all ages staying, young couples and families alike. lots of wild life around so be prepared for that as all the rooms are open air (with mosquito nets of course). Definitely worthwhile and plenty of day activities offered by the Camp.

This place is paradise! We stayed in a Forest Pavilion for three nights and loved every moment. The surrounding forest on the property was idillic and the private waterfall felt like a dream! All the Living Heritage staff were extremely lovely and accommodating. The food was absolutely delicious and we loved getting to know Sujeewa (chef) during our cooking class. We’d definitely recommend spending a few nights here if you’re looking to relax, unplug and be surrounded by beautiful nature.

We were completely happy with the place. The view from the balcony is wonderful, especially in the evening when you can take the time to look at the starry sky! The communication with Dominic's girlfriend was very great: helpful, friendly and always available. We celebrated a birthday here and when preparing a small surprise, the entire team was always on hand and supported me in every wish, thank you very much again! If you are looking for a quiet accommodation, a little away from the city bustle and are looking for a great view, I can highly recommend this accommodation. A tiny hack is the shower, there is an extra connection for the hot water and you can not always optimally set the desired temperature, but for us that was a small problem. We were happy all around.

Absolutely loved our 2-night stay at Villa Joy! We're a Dutch couple and from the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. The scenic tuktuk ride through tea fields (booked via Villa Joy) was bumpy at the end, but totally worth it — the mountain views are breathtaking. Waking up to birdsong and coffee on the terrace felt magical. The cooking class with Sakura and her warm team was a true highlight — fun, hands-on, and super tasty! The room was clean, peaceful, and beautifully decorated with flowers. Excellent communication before and during our stay made everything easy. We left feeling recharged and cared for. Highly recommend this little slice of paradise!

We had an unforgettable time in the cubes at Hideout! The accommodation is truly something special - with its glamping character and the unique view of the Nine Arch Bridge, it is simply fantastic. Waking up to this view every morning was a real highlight. The host is incredibly friendly and helpful – you immediately feel welcome, and every wish is really fulfilled. Whether tips on the surroundings, food or transport: everything is taken care of! A small note: The accommodation is a bit off the beaten path, so you can't walk directly to Ella town. Even normal taxis can't get up the narrow street - but the host will always arrange a tuk-tuk driver to take you reliably. Recommendation for all those who are looking for nature, peace and something special!

We booked this stay due to close proximity to safari park, however Banyan Camp ended up being the highlight of our trip. The pictures do not give this place enough justice. The surroundings are breathtaking and living so close to nature. We loved the open bathroom concept and the hang out spots, the camp is eco and uses repurposed materials, we loved the tranquility. The design of the camp is stunning and located right on a fantastic lake, we went paddle boarding everyday, sunrise nd sunset are magical and they catered dinner on a raft. The hosts was so friendly and gave us so many recommendations. Food served at the camp is Vegetarian and some of the best food I have had, delicious.

Our stay at the Treehouse in Ella was truly a one-of-a-kind experience. The place is made entirely of wood and gives you that authentic treehouse feel - it’s cozy, rustic, and perfect if you’re looking for something unique. It’s about a 7-minute ride to the main happening spots in Ella, and the hosts can easily arrange tuk-tuks for you. The views from the treehouse are absolutely magical, especially when the mist rolls in and covers the mountain tops. You can even spot the train passing by in the distance, which adds to the charm. That said, there were a few things that could be improved. The bathroom didn’t have a jet spray and the door couldn’t be locked, which was a bit inconvenient. There were also no curtains on the front glass door, which compromised a bit on privacy. Still, the charm and uniqueness of this place made it worth it - it felt like a peaceful escape surrounded by nature. Definitely a stay to remember!
