Welcome

Quiet rooms, a short stroll from everything

Heaven's Gate sits in the best-rated part of Ella, close enough to walk to the town's cafés and the railway station, yet set back far enough to sleep well. Rooms open onto a shaded veranda and a garden courtyard full of palms and birdsong.

Each room has its own bathroom, a balcony or terrace, free Wi-Fi, a TV and a tea and coffee maker. Our friendly team is happy to share local tips and arrange airport transfers, so you can spend your time in Ella rather than organising it.

Around Ella

Everything Ella is known for, close by

Ella's best-loved sights are a walk, a tuk-tuk ride or a train away. Ask us at reception and we will point you the right way.

Ella railway station

Home to one of the world's most scenic train rides through the hill country. About a ten-minute walk away.

Little Adam's Peak

An easy, rewarding climb with wide views over the valley. Start early, and take a breakfast-to-go from us.

Nine Arches Bridge

The colonial-era railway viaduct surrounded by jungle and tea, a short drive away. Check train times before you go.

Ella Rock

A longer hike through tea country with sweeping views. Best in the cool of the morning.

Ravana Falls

A wide waterfall beside the road, an easy stop on the way to or from Ella.

Tea plantations

Walk through the hills, visit a tea factory and taste the real thing, grown across the hills around Ella.

Travelling in? Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport is 84 km away, and we can arrange an airport shuttle.
