Kokodo Guest House

Green all around. Ambience on point! Rooms are neat and really big! I really loved the bar and eating area! Only bad for me is that outside noise penetrates into the rooms and breakfast could be varied.

These stars are for the groovy building, peaceful location, the giant bed and Ibrahim the most gracious host. Apparently the house used belong to the bank manager, I don’t think much has changed since the 1950s! It’s not luxury or nouveau riche, but it’s clean, relaxing and honestly priced. It is very close to town but far enough removed to feel like a retreat. We just walked into town and took a tuk tuk back (no more than 5 mins) you can flag lots of taxis down easily from the bottom of the private road. It is a good base for visiting historical sites and also the National park. An enormous bed, good air con and ceiling fan, home cooked food and great service from Ibrahim. The outside terrace is a real treat, spacious and sheltered by trees, we ate there and also rested, playing cards, watching birds in the woods. We found it so relaxing we extended our stay by two days.

We absolutely loved Kokodo! We cancelled a pre-booked night at another hotel nearer Kakum Forest, just so we could come back and stay at Kokodo again. The staff are so so friendly. The location is lovely and quiet but near to central Cape Coast. We were in room 5 which was enormous (the biggest bed we’ve ever seen!) and so bright and light, with lovely views over the surrounding trees. The bathroom was clean and spacious too. The food was delicious and the garden was lovely and green. A 5* experience and we hope to visit again in the future!

I've been bringing my groups to Kokodo for the past three years, and it's always a delightful experience. The guest house itself isn't large enough to accommodate my large groups, but Jeff consistently curates incredible meals for us. He goes above and beyond to make sure the experience is wonderful, from personally taxiing my guest with access issues up to the guesthouse from the road, to providing us with delicious Ghanaian delicacies from land and sea. The grilled lobsters are a must-try! His chefs are amazing, and we've dined in the the indoor dining room as well as the outdoor terrace on the hill with its tranquil vibe beautiful ambiance. Both experiences are outstanding, but if you can dine outside with a cold Orijin, don't miss this experience. Clean, comfortable, excellent food, and generous hospitality from the owner, what more could you want?
