The guesthouses

On the premises of the Hand in Hand community, attractive overnight accommodation has been set up. There are several round huts which offer an awesome view over the green African hills. Staying in one of these houses is a unique opportunity to experience the warm family atmosphere of the community. You can also relax here, read a book or play with the children in the pool or at the playground.


A nice view over some of our wonderfully
situated guesthouses

The Hand in Hand Community (locally called the ‘PCC”, good to know if you ask directions in town!) is situated just outside the town centre of Nkoranza behind the Hospital and has been constructed as a small village. Two or three children are living together with a caregiver in their own small houses. These houses are laid out in a circle around a centrally located play-area which is used for games, music-making, partying, dancing, swimming and enjoying meals together. Most guesthouses are simple, some are a bit more luxury. Each hut has a bed (single, double or king size), a mosquito net, some furniture, a fan, and a bathroom and toilet attached, except 3 and 4, they use the toilets in a separate building. Towels, sheets, a candle, matches, soap and toilet paper are included. There are 10 two person houses, one house for three persons and also one comfortable 4 person house with two double bedrooms, each with their own shower and toilet. This house has a shared living room.

The swimming pool offers a beautiful view over the guesthouses and surroundings.

On the site, there is also a restaurant with a small menu. You can tell the hostess Charity or her right-hand Mercy if you desire to order meals. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served at fixed times. They also run a small shop where you can buy some basic as well as luxury articles such as soap, wine and the like and ….. also beaded jewellery plus woven pieces of cloth, made by our older residents in the sheltered workshop. All income goes to the Hand in Hand community. Our hostesses Charity and Mercy can assist you also in arranging transport to tourist attractions in the surrounding area, including the monkey sanctuary Boabeng-Fiema and the waterfalls of Kintampo.

If you would like to come and stay, we recommend you inquire about the availability. Especially during weekends and during the months of August and December we are often heavily booked. If you want to make a reservation well in advance, then you can send an email to: handinhandcommunity@gmail.com

For a visit on a short notice you best call straight to Miss Charity or (if not present) to Mr. Baffo:

Miss Charity or Mr. Samuel Baffo
     
(00-233) –(0)24 273 1095   (00-233) (0)24 453 3343

But even in the case of a visit without earlier reservation, we can accommodate you most of the time nicely. For the cases there would be too many visitors at one time, we have even made special arrangements with a hotel in town + a taxi connection to PCC, for a temporary solution.
