    Ellis was one of the greatest host. He is very welcoming and kind. he is building step by step an amazing heaven on earth in Ghana. The garden is very quiet, this is because it's a bit out of the village (10min walk). Also the rooms are 3-5min...

    The whole stay with Ellis at Green Zion was magical – the rooms he has built are beautiful, his home-cooked vegetarian breakfasts and dinners are brilliant, and the bar on the beach with geckos on the ceiling was a perfect place to stare out to...

    De host Ellis is super behulpzaam en vriendelijk. Mijn huisje was gezellig en proper en vlakbij het strand en de strandbar gelegen. Er zijn ook andere leuke bars en restaurants in de buurt.

    We loved the quiet beach, the smoothies and breakfast. The beach hut was a great chill spot during the day. We had a spacious room with mosquito nets and very comfortable beds. Ellis was also a beautiful soul, hilarious and welcoming!

Company information

To all my lovely future guests, my name is Ellis, I have built my own place next to the beach over 10 years. I do everything. I garden and have lawned and made a beautiful canopy of green foliage of palm trees, mango trees, beautiful flowers of frangipani over an acre of land. Herein I have built 4 different types of natural African type rooms, a dormitory to sleep up to 8 people, a tree house and a chalet with 2 double beds and a hobbit round conical house - all situation within these lovely gardens. I have built it all by myself. I cook vegetarian food for all my guests and have an Indian vegetarian restaurant within the gardens in a beautiful setting alongside a bar. In the evenings I can entertain you with African drumming and a bonfire. I serve groups, aswell as couples or single travellers. I am 2 minutes from the beach and 5 minutes from the river, so whichever swimming you like I am situated nearby. I have made my home homely for you with Rasta vibes. Looking to all your people out there ...... please support local people. Please come and visit my project. Come as a stranger and leave as a friend to all visiting Green Zion Garden!
