The Hotobah Lodge is located at Boyle Lane, in Freetown, Sierra Leone. The area is famously known as ‘Banana Wata’ because of the dense growth of banana trees in the marshlands and local wharf leading to the ‘White Man’s Bay’ and the Atlantic Ocean.
The Lodge is only 3 miles from Central Freetown which is closer than the hotels in the Aberdeen area. It is however not far from Aderdeen and only 10 minutes away from the Water Taxi dock. It is a bed and breakfast, with great service and good value for money. It is easily accessible to the main road and hence public transport, banks and supermarkets are readily available nearby.
