Smoking friendly holiday rentals in Diyatalawa

We had such a beautiful time at Dana‘s place! The cabin is located very nicely, with a beautiful view over the valley! Everyone is so friendly and Praba‘s food is sooo good. Dana showed us the mountain area on a nice hike which we fully enjoyed. The heated pool is keeping you warm when the weather turns rougher in the afternoon/evening. Overall just a magical place that we fully recommend!

Beautiful view and very nice staff. Breakfast was really good and fresh, definitely recommend the curry and milk rice. The treehouse is a bit outside of the city center, requires 1 or 2 tuk tuk to get up to the retreat (the second of which is steep and bumpy, so only the most stilled tuk tuk drivers can master it). However, the staff organised tuk tuk for us each time we came and went free of charge and it was always on time when given 10 minutes notice. Recommend this place for a unique and unforgettable stay in Ella.

Pekoe Lodge was perfect for our time in this area, we spent a day hiking Adam's Peak and another day relaxing. The Airbnb was the perfect location where it felt secluded and private (with a beautiful view!) yet close enough to Adam's Peak and the tea fields for other activities. The rooms were spacious and clean. The best part of the stay was by far the in house workers, they went above and beyond to attend to our every need. We had a birthday and they got a cake, sang, and even lit fireworks for it! And helped us source a specific tea in the area straight from the farm itself. And every meal cooked by the chef was great. Truly amazing hospitality and service by them, and they were also lovely to speak to and get to know. Would love to stay here again if we are in the area, and recommend to anyone wanting a quiet peaceful place to stay with great hospitality.

The view from this house is priceless. We could have spent hours starring at the view. If we walk a short distance downhill, we can see the Gregory Lake. There are grocery shop at the beginning of the road. Nonetheless, this place was very peaceful as well as beautiful. We had a great stay in Nuwara Eliya.

Bola was an amazing host at the Villa. He sent a driver to pick us up when we arrived and made us dinner at the villa! He gave us some helpful tips, was very attentive, and even drove us to our next destination. I will definitely stay here if I return to Ella! 10/10 recommendation:)

Our stay was amazing. Everyone was super helpful and friendly.

Incredibly kind host family. They were always helpful, gave us a ride into town and organized a scooter for us. We used the home stay to explore the Ella region. While Ella is super touristy, the town of the Airbnb is very genuine and we loved the hustle and bustle. It is a separate apartment with a separate entrance. You’ll have everything you need including 2 bedrooms, 2 new bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a living room and terrace overlooking the property.

This airbnb was a highlight of our trip. Came here to hike devil’s staircase to the waterfall. The view through the valley and all the way out to Udawalawe national park is stunning. And the staff there were so attentive always offering tea and offering to pack a breakfast when we were going on a hike early in the AM which was really helpful. The room was simple and clean and cool at night due to being in the mountains. Cool enough i wore a sweater outside. Food was delicious, sri lankan dinner was one of our best on the trip. They also provided insider knowledge on local hikes which was great when we had an extra morning and wanted to get one more hike in. Note that it is not easy to get to! Recommend either hiring an SUV or being dropped at the train station and going the rest of the way by tuk tuk which can handle the uneven road and steep decline much better. Overall highly recommend

We thoroughly enjoyed the stay. We especially loved the nice staff, who welcomed us warmly and recommended great activities. I was able to have a great conversation. The room was very clean and the pool invited you to cool off with great views after activities. Breakfast was classic and proactively offered refreshments. The team was very flexible about changes and also prepared breakfast at an earlier time than planned as we wanted to get started early on a trip. We were really more than satisfied and definitely would come back.
