I haven't slept there but I sometimes go to their restaurant and eat. I mostly eat rice and chicken sauce, fried rice and chicken, bank and pepper /okro and boiled yam with stew. I enjoy eating there. The place is nice and neat and the food is nice too, only it takes time to be ready. I have had to wait for about 40 minutes before being served my food. I understand because, usually, when u order, they prepare it fresh for you. Not all but something like yam. They cook it on order so it is served hot.

Great ambience and serene environment. Very neat and tidy rooms with modern interior decoration. There is 24hr running water and electricity. A great place to host all your trendy events with super green natural lawns that brings you close to nature. Your security at this location is assured and there is also a spacious car park for your vehicles. The guest centre is walled and gated with 24hr working security. It is highly recommended for the classy and the natural at heart. Do check it out sometime.

A nice place with very friendly staff. They are well mannered and I must say for their meals I tasted, that’s the Banku, the Jollof and the waakye, they were very nice. Their meal was great. But I learnt they will be closing down by the end of this month, ie, September 2023. I couldn’t get the exact reason why but I trust it’s because they are moving to a new location or something similar. I would love to have their services another time
