Good Hope Plantation is located 20 minutes inland from the town of Falmouth. Falmouth is a 30 minute coastal drive east of Montego bay airport.
The Great House was first built in 1755 by Thomas Williams and soon after purchased by a John Tharp who also acquired all the adjoining estates, eventually owning 9000 acres.
The Great House first became a hotel in the early 1900's when an american banker came to Jamaica looking for antiques and happened upon Good Hope. He not only bought the antiques, he bought the place! In the 1950's Tenison purchased the property and continued in the tradition of Williams, adding more rooms and promoting horseback riding holidays.
The place changed hands one more time to the current group of owners who restored the buildings to their original Georgian style of architecture and ran the place as a small guest house.
Today Good Hope opens her doors to welcome families and retreats to breathe in the fresh tropical air, eat the delicious home cooked food and simply reconnect with oneself and with each other.
We have a separate building dedicated to watching satellite television and videos, or to be used as a yoga or artist studio. A variety of childrens toys are also available.
There is also a grand sized yoga hut in the hummingbird garden, a jacuzzi with decking and an outdoor shower.
