房源位置

The villa is in Ashongman Estates, against the hills on the north side of Accra. In the rainy season the roads, not all paved, can be difficult to pass. With the 4X4 Toyota, our caretaker has a lot of experience in safely transporting guests. The area has great contrasts, from beautiful overgrown green hills to dump sites of waste and from rich villas to slum dwellings. The inhabitants are friendly and harmonious, children can be very curious. Places of interest are the Accra slavery museum and slave forts, with Elmina being the most important. Most forts are on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Also, the beautiful Labadi beach and the tropical rainforest north of Accra are points of interest.

Villa Nelomoor has its own transport to pick you up and drop you off from Kotoka airport. The caretaker is willing to be your driver in the region for a fee. Day trips can be arranged with him on site. There is hardly any public transport financed by the state or municipal government in Accra. The current options available to Ghanaians are trotros, a few bus services, ride-hailing services, and a train system which is not widespread. In Accra, 70% of daily commuting is done by informal minibuses called Trotos. Trotro vehicles are products of the 1960s in Ghana. They were first introduced for the transportation of goods for cocoas farmers. Currently, trotros are the main means of transportation in Accra and other cities in the country. They are the cheapest and most convenient means of transportation, but they aren’t the safest, and the maintenance culture of these vehicles is not up to par. The poor driving behavior of trotro drivers is also not something to be admired. Payment is normally done by cash and learning about the routes is sometimes more of experience than finding the information openly available online. Currently, the most popular ride-hailing apps in Ghana are Uber and Bolt.
