What is Cocoa Village Guesthouse Lake Bosomtwe?
Cocoa Village Guesthouse sits directly on Lake Bosomtwe, with bungalows and traditional Ashanti houses. It offers canoeing, swimming, hiking around the crater, village tours, birdwatching and stand-up paddleboarding, and it is a quiet, nature-focused base rather than a resort with organised entertainment.
It suits families who want a simple lakeside stay with plenty of outdoor activity. The water is calm, and the local fishermen take visitors out in canoes. It is a good value option on the lake.
Cocoa Village works with local fishermen and guides, and supports the Lake Bosomtwe community.
