Seven rooms, seven works
Ezuz is a tiny desert village in the western Negev, with no asphalt roads and no second floors. In the middle of it, since 2007, we’ve been hosting guests in a compound we built by hand, from unusual materials and reclaimed objects.
No two rooms are alike. Muse has a window made of bottles, Vintage has dressers from the ’70s, and the yard is full of hammocks, shady corners and pieces we’ve collected over the years. Everything is kept spotless, and there are homemade cookies in the kitchen.
— Ella & Eli, your hosts

A village compound that is one amazing work of art, with a quiet, authentic desert atmosphere… It was our second stay, and we’re already waiting for the next.
The rooms and grounds are unbelievably clean… A tour made us arrive very late, and Ella still insisted on meeting us to welcome us.
Eli and Ella, warm and easy to talk to, have made a charming spot in the heart of the desert… The yard is full of art, their own handiwork and collection. Recommended.

Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out is by 11:00. Need some flexibility? Message us ahead of time and we’ll try to work it out.
Yes — guests must be 16 or older.
Sorry, no. The compound isn’t suitable for pets.
Yes. There’s a shared, equipped kitchen with a fridge, cooktop, microwave, kettle and dishes.
Our seven rooms sleep up to 17. Groups can book several rooms around the shared yard and kitchen — message us and we’ll check availability.
For hiking, October to April. The weather station in Ezuz averages about 18°C by day and 7°C at night in January, and 23–29°C by day in spring and autumn. July and August reach about 35°C, so walk early and late. Every room is air-conditioned.
The sky over Ezuz is fairly dark, far from city lights. Moonless nights are best — give your eyes about half an hour to adjust.
We don’t serve meals and there’s no shop in Ezuz, so it’s easiest to bring groceries and cook in the shared kitchen. On the way there’s a shop at the Ketziot junction fuel station (about 15–20 minutes from us) and a grocery in Kadesh Barnea (about 20 minutes, closed on Saturdays). For a weekend, stock up before you arrive.
The 1916 Ottoman railway bridge is about half a kilometre away, next to the Be’er Moshe and Be’er Aharon wells and the Be’erotayim grove, with an easy loop of about 2 km. The grove is open by day only and has no water.
Yes, with planning. Metropoline bus 140 runs from Be’er Sheva to Ezuz once a day, Sunday to Friday, and the “Ezuz/Merkaz” stop is about 60 m from us. No service on Shabbat or holidays. Check current times with Metropoline (*5900).
No. There’s no bank ATM in any Ramat HaNegev village; the closest are in Yeruham and Mitzpe Ramon. Bring some cash for small businesses on the way.
Yes. The Yiftach Gorni singletrack opened in Pithat Nitzana in January 2026: an easy-to-moderate loop of about 15 km from Bustan Lea campground, 10–15 minutes’ drive from us. Some routes here cross firing zones, so check before you ride.
The drive to us uses Route 211, not the border road. The strip along the border is a closed military zone, and Route 10 opens to visitors only on days the IDF announces, with ID and registration at the entry. Check that a route is open before you set out.
We’re about 3 km from the Khan, a few minutes’ drive. Send us the wedding date and how many guests, and we’ll check how many rooms are free.
Warm layers for the evening and morning, since desert nights can get cold, and comfortable walking shoes. Linens and towels are waiting in the room.
Yes, fast and free.
