Set on the banks of a beautiful river, nestled in between Portland's Blue Mountains our perfect location is a dream for nature lovers!
We love meeting new people, sharing the Jamaica culture, farming and cooking up home grown local organic meals.
A picturesque mountainside town with a swift river flowing through the town- guests can enjoy climbing in miles of exotic jungle, swimming in river pools and sitting under waterfalls.
