The location is so interesting and wonderful. The river flowing down there was a hidden paradise for us. The green surroundings and mountain view from the room were marvelous. Also, the rooms were very clean and comfortable; the staff was so friendly, and they welcomed us warmly. Breakfast we had was so nice, and we enjoyed our stay calm and delightfully. Number one stay we've ever had .

Everything was perfect, we arrived it was raining the owner was expecting us with umbrellas and helped us down stairs , the room was big enough and comfy beds, the view from the room was amazingggg , the family owning the business is very welcoming and generous.

We absolutely LOVED “Lush in Ella”. If you are wanting to experience peaceful oasis in Ella, this is the place. The design of this unique space hits all the marks in an off the beaten path stay. A junglalow with a view of waterfall, the jungle sounds immersed in nature. The room is private, super clean and the design of the space is just perfect 🤩 it is a 10 out of 10!!! Saman and her husband were so helpful and kind. The breakfast was awesome… we are vegan and they were very accommodating. Thank you for being such wonderful hosts! 🙏❤️
