Durga's Den - Eco-farm Private Cottage

Our mission at Durga's Den is to create a space dedicated towards a truly sustainable lifestyle. We strive to find solutions to basic needs such as food, shelter, water, energy and community life. Durga’s is located only 15min drive from Ocho Rios, on the North Coast of Jamaica. Its not unusual to see goats and chickens free roaming here amonst luscious greens that we use in our Farm-to-table eating. Located in the rain forest of Fern Gully, our natural canopy provides a breezy and cool retreat. The space Part of a cluster of cottages on the hill overlooking the incredible Ocho Rios hillside and beyond toward the Caribbean sea. Given our natural canopy the place is naturally cool and breezy. The private cottage with its double bed is the perfect retreat for a solo traveller or couple looking for a truly authentic Jamaican stay. Up a limestone footpath and wooden steps the room feels miles away from the hustle & bustle of main street Ochi. The veranda and its wooden chairs creates an airy space to chill away from the already quiet common space. The room is complete with mosquito nets and ample storage space. Guest access You will have access to bamboo buildings with rainwater and solar heated water bathroom facilities and incredible views of North Jamaica. You are also welcomed to join us, the other guests and often times international volunteers on the gazebo where we share a cup of homegrown tea, a cool beer and a game of dominos. If you prefer something even more reserved you are welcome to stroll up to our terrace almost 1000 ft about sea level which is usually reserved for yoga, massages and meditation. Organic, vegetarian, vegan, plant-based and Raw meals are all available on request (at a cost) and we give you access to our outside kitchen if you prefer to cook your own meals.
