Nice Place
Lovely place, a little bit out of town, but an easy tuk tuk journey to all the restaurants and shops. The owner, Aruna, was very nice and helpful. I thought breakfast was lovely, however my husband was not keen on sri lankan food for breakfast, so Aruna prepared boiled eggs and tomatoes for him. Thank you.

After a long train journey and running tuk-tuk alley out of the station and through town it was great to be welcomed without any fuss, drop my stuff and then have a pot of tea. Family run. Really friendly. That said, your view of River House will depend on your view of Ella itself. It is genuinely out of town. Not far, but enough to notice. If you're in Ella because you want pizza, burgers and house music - after a couple of weeks of Rice and Curry - maybe you want to be more in amongst it. If you're suffering the Western-style culture for a few nice walks, maybe out of town is the place for you. And you've got a head start for Ravenna's cave at River House. Anyway I liked it. Would happily stay here again.

Time Out
Another great find! The view has been lost to a new temple being built, but that did not spoil our visit. Spacious room, spacious (wildbathro)om and clever inclusion of nature. Great location to the waterfalls and an easy walk into the town centre.
