Elkaduwa Vacations from $1,421

Property’s finishing is very unique. it seems very clean and comfortable. Staffs are very helpful. But I disappointed about the aria where the property placed.

spasious and comfortable.

Our stay at Te Dalu was exceptional. We loved that the hotel was located a little outside of Ella proper, which allowed for connection with the beautiful environment and scenery while still being convenient to the amenities of the main town. Our room faced the hillside and had a wonderful view of the temple on the hill, and in the morning with opening the balcony doors allowed us to listen to chants and the sounds of birds and monkeys while waking up. The hotel itself has lovely, large rooms and is immaculately clean. The pool and lobby area are open air and so inviting. The highlight was the hotel staff, who are friendly and attentive without being overbearing. We were treated with such kindness and accommodation from everyone. They helped us arrange some of the remaining details of our trip, like follow-on transportation, which was seamless and stress-free. We highly recommend Te Dalu!

From the entrance with the beloved, always smiling security uncle Sanath to Jawfer the ready to help out with anything and everything Concierge to Zeenath the best head of reservations we’ve ever met, coordinating with me from day one and throughout made our stay an extra special one. We chose VAUX as a newly married couple to give us the homely feeling and it sure did. The layout was really modern including all the basic essentials. The 2 bedroom apartment had a wonderful Terrace and ample space to accommodate many guests. The rooftop swimming pool was another added beauty at VAUX. Our guests loved the place and we in fact extended our stay as the price we paid was well worth the experience we had. We are looking forward for a next stay at VAUX and special thanks again to Zeenath for always keeping in touch making sure we had everything going well!!! Much Love

The house was wonderful to stay in and visit. The only comment and this is a more philosophical one - what is the balance between originality and being fresh for a guest to inhabit? I think this needs careful thinking through. The house is wonderfu and its a great place to stay if you love Bawa architecture, but some areas could do with cleaning more thoroughly or replacing. There is no benefit in a knackered old japanese paper lantern when an identical one can be bought online cheaply, or an old blanket that has seen better days or a musty wardrobe - all these can be fixed without undermining an important piece of architecture. Beyond that, the house is wonderful, the staff are great and the house is in a great location in Colombo and I would recommend it as a place to visit if you are interested in Bawa's architecture.
