Cocoa Village Guesthouse

Top choice in Ghana


Bright and cosy bungalows, some handcrafted using traditional techniques, sit on a beautiful lawn with views down to the lake. A wonderful place to relax for a few days. You'll need a 4WD to negotiate the rough road to get here, or they can arrange a boat transfer from Abono (C50 one-way).

Days can be spent paddle-boarding, kayaking or hiking in the surrounding forest, and there's a small art studio, where you can learn to paint or make your own batiks.
