Mankoadze, Central Region
Mankoadze, on the Winneba–Cape Coast road
About an hour and a half from Accra, between the Ejesimanko Mountains and the sea.
Off the coast road
Mankoadze sits between Winneba and Cape Coast, on the coast road. Coming from Accra, keep going past Winneba toward Cape Coast — the entrance is signposted, and it is on your left.

We can arrange transport
Reception organises transport to and from the resort, and out to the places below. Ask at the desk, or from your phone if you are already checked in.
What is nearby
Two castles, a rainforest and a fish farm, all within a morning of the gate.
A rainforest with a canopy walkway strung between the trees, high enough to put you level with the birds. Butterflies, wildlife, and a conservation project underneath it all.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, and a museum now. Its part in the trans-Atlantic slave trade is the reason to go: a visit is humbling rather than pleasant, and it stays with people.
Built by the Portuguese in the fifteenth century and, like Cape Coast, central to the slave trade. A moving place, and a short way further along the coast.
Ghana’s largest inland fish farm. Aquaculture up close, and a good deal more interesting than it sounds.
No drive times here on purpose. How long Kakum takes depends on the day and the road, ask receptionist when you book.
A guided walk to Munyi Lagoon
A lagoon very few people have seen, reached on untamed trails and manageable for most levels of fitness. We arrange the guide.
Come down for a couple of nights
Two castles, a rainforest and a lagoon — and the beach to come back to.
