Want a rustic experience? Jay's Guest House is the ideal place to rest, eat and enjoy the mist of the Blue Mountains. Offering scrumptious Jamaican home-cooked meals, friendly staffs and an authentic nature interaction, there i€™s no better place to be. No cash? Don't worry, we accept PAYPAL. The business is owned and operated by Aden ‘Ojay’ Jackson. The guest house has three rooms (2 private with queen sized beds and a dorm with 3 bunks). Therefore 10 guests can be hosted quite comfortably. Kitchen has refrigerator, stove, microwave and washing sink. Services that can be expected are free WIFI, Blue Mountain Peak hiking, Coffee farms tours (SouthField, Penlyne, Monkey Hill), river tour and community walks. There is a mini bar in the property where travelers can buy a alcoholic and non-alcohol beverages or simply snacks for their stay. Relaxing reggae music can be expected with occasional interaction with locals. Come and taste the scrumptious Jerked-chicken, fried breadfruits and festivals prepared on sight. Transportation can be provided if requested from a location of choice or ask for directions to the guest house.
I was raised as a child in this dynamic community where I attended elementary and primary schools. This provided the opportunity to be socially grounded with the settled citizens and a knowledge base for the distinctive production of coffee in the Blue Mountains. As an authentic football fan, I support Arsenal Fc in the EPL and Olympique Lyon in Ligue 1. My greatest motivator is my father. I was raised being accustomed to his dedicated work ethics and determination thus it has influenced my life goals positively. It would be an eventful experience having you as a guest as you will learn more about the Jamaican culture, language, foods etc. A quote from one of my favourite Jamaican artist, Loyal Flames, is: "Keep Focus".
Jay's Guest House is located in Epping Farm District, exactly on the foothills of the Blue Mountain Peak. The neighbourhood is quite friendly and relaxing. Perfectly landscaped with tall trees and other vegetation. It's all natural.
