| |
The unspoiled landscape, rural seclusion, artistic and agricultural activities, its history, space, peace and unabashed beauty make Good Hope an inspired setting for retreats, workshops and specialty tours.
Good Hope ia a 2000 acre property with an extensive variety of nature trails for hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding. Follow them along the river, to hilltops, into woodland and through citrus groves to amazing historic ruins.
Staying at Good Hope gives you immediate accessibility to the Windsor Cave and the Cockpit Mountains, a 500 square mile area of dramatic scenery that is perhaps the most reclusive, untamed and uninhabited area in Jamaica.
The Martha Brae River meanders through Good Hope on its way to the sea, east of Falmouth. Good Hope's swimming hole, on the Martha Brae, framed by an 18th century cut stone bridge, is as poetic a countryside beauty spot as can possibly be imagine. Giant stands of graceful bamboo and stately cottonwood trees shade the area.
The wildlife, birds, butterflies, bats and primary vegetation make it irresistible to adventurers and naturalists.
Good Hope offers a total of 14 bedrooms (& private bathrooms). The classic Georgian style Great House has 10 bedrooms, the artistic River Cottage has 3 bedrooms and the private, simple Garden Cottage has one bedroom.
