Lake Point Guesthouse

Top choice in Ghana


Colourful huts and dorms are set on a hillside in dreamy tropical gardens at this sociable lodge. Across the small dirt road at the bottom of the property is a grassy lawn, leading down to a lakeside beach, the jumping-off point for kayaking adventures. The tin-roof bar and restaurant has a delicious daily changing menu (mains C30).

They can help you organise excursions around the lake and Ashanti country, as well as hire bikes and kayaks (C40 an hour). It's in a secluded spot about 2km east of Abono.
