Lime Tree Farm, Blue Mountains

Tifiny, Rodger and Keisha do everything to make your stay at this coffee farm a once in a life experience. The place is very special! It was good that Rodger advised us not to drive up ourselves to the farm. The 5km long road from the Coffee factory to Rodger’s farm is too bumpy and definitely needs a 4-wheel car when rainy. The room at the farm was super clean, comfortable with a king bed and warm shower. Wifi and storage in a fridge are available in the ‘living room’ (which is the restaurant) where lovely breakfasts, lunches and dinners are prepared. It was wonderful to experience the real Jamaica kitchen. We so much enjoyed the long walks we made in the area and Rodger’s tour on the farm to experience how coffee is prepared. Thanks so much for your kindhearted hospitality!

This place is magical and a true hidden gem in the blue mountains. The villas are well built, beautifully furnished with magnificent views! The gardens are beautifully designed and well kept. The owners, Roger and Tiffany, are friendly and entertaining. Roger gave us a demonstration farm to table on how to make coffee. There is plenty of fun to be had. Bigs, the trail master and head foreman, is ready and enthusiastic about taking anyone anywhere they want to hike. Keisha is full of surprises with her cooking and use of spices. It is well worth the drive I only wish we could have stayed longer!

We have been to Lime Tree several times in the past. Wife and I enjoy the beauty of this place set in the lovely Blue Mountains of Jamaica run by the great team of Roger and Tifony along with Kasha who is a great cook and let us not forget Black Ops the resident security dog. Thanks to all for the pre-birthday cake for my wife. Will never forget the hospitality shown us. Looking forward to our next visit to paradise.

We stayed 2 nights at lime tree farm & had the most relaxing and enriching time. The views are incredible, the property is beautiful & the team are incredibly warm & welcoming. We loved being immersed in nature and were delighted by all the streamertail humming birds. Thanks to Keisha for the best food we ate during our 2 week trip to Jamaica. Thanks to Rodger for sharing the fascinating history of the farm & for getting us there. Thanks to Tiffany for the kind hosting & chats. Thanks to Bigs for the hike up to Governor’s Bench and the photo shoots! And of course, many thanks to Black Ops for the company. We felt like we were welcomed into someone’s home. I very much hope we can return some day.

We have just had an amazing stay at Lime Tree Farm. The accommodation is spacious and comfortable and the setting is beautiful. The views from our room and the bar over the mountains was stunning. Rodger and Tiffany are great hosts and the food cooked by Keisha was delicious! It had a feeling of a happy family environment and as guests we were welcomed into that family. Mustn’t forget to mention their very friendly dog Black Ops, she accompanied us everywhere. Loved our stay at Lime Tree and would recommend it for a get away from it all, chill out spot with some hiking and wildlife too. Thank you Lime Tree team

This review firstly comments on Lime Tree Farm, but also secondly offers some guidance, so you can see if this place is for you, based on its very special character, and for that, I urge you to read to the end. First, for our review. My wife and I went for a few days in November 2022, and had a really splendid time. We loved pretty much everything, but above all the team, namely Rodger and Tifony (the owners) and Keisha the cook (whilst not forgetting the big boss, Black Ops, their dog). Together they have created something unique and very very special. The rooms are simple, of a good size, and well furnished, and the bathrooms similar. Everything was spotless and very clean. The cooking (and we recommend you to take full board as no realistic alternative exists), was very good, with soulful food from Jamaica. However you can ask Keisha to adjust anything, for she cooks from scratch, primarily using vegetables and fruit from their own gardens. We enjoyed and appreciated every one of her meals, which were accompanied by explanations. And let us not forget the endless supply of Blue Mountain coffee. There are 4 rooms on site (plus a fifth which can be used as a bunk bed family room), and eating is shared around a large table, in an open sided dining/bar room, with humming birds darting back and forth on the edges. All rooms have spectacular views of the Blue Mountains, and even from a couple of corners down to the Caribbean Sea, some 1,000 metres below. I would advise a light jumper or similar for evenings. What is there to do at Lime Tree Farm? Well, if the truth be told, very little, except unwind. You should not use this as a centre, as it is so difficult to reach (more below). But that is the beauty. You have silence, the birds, and a night sky full of twinkling stars, which can be quite overwhelming. It is a place to come to and relax and chill out, and there is ample room to do just that. We practised our Pilates every morning on a large open terrace, with the rising sun, and just the birds for company, with breath-taking all round views. We did a couple of shortish walks (2 – 4 miles about) with Rodger, through local farms and plantations, up to viewpoints, plus I did a walk on my own down the track to the Mavis Bank Coffee Factory in the valley, a 6 ½ mile round trip, and well worth the effort. It is very safe here, with everyone friendly and welcoming, and very far away from the security issues seen elsewhere in Jamaica. One thing Rodger does do, and very well, is to tell you the story of coffee, from growing on the bush, through all the processing steps, to the final warm drink in your cup. I found it enlightening. Tifony is the Farm Manager, and does a splendid job of growing fruit and vegetables on the steep slopes around the farm, but which produce practically everything they need to be self-sufficient. Tifony is also a qualified masseuse and will offer this service for a charge. My wife liked her massage very much. Now th

Beautiful boho experience on the delightfully-isolated side of the Blue Mountains. Home-made and local food prepared by Keisha. Rodger and his wife have forgotten more about Jamaica and things to do than most will ever know. Has great tips for everything. Gave me great directions for a memorable trip to the (ultimately rather disappointing) Cinchona Gardens (an example of it being about the journey not the destination!). A "can-do" attitude to help with any issues prevails - a most hospitable and relaxed atmosphere. Rodger himself is fantastic and welcoming company - has lived a life less ordinary - and will gladly (non-intrusively) have a chat and a beer or three with you, or leave you your space. The farm benefits from its delightful bucolic isolation - the only way up is a dirt-track which needs a heavy duty jeep, but this is all the better as it gets you away from the hustle and bustle of "real-life". This transport is not cheap and adds to the cost, but is worth it. A fair amount of hiking locally, all quite safe it seems. Rodger may take you or will have some maps he can draw out for you. A hike up Blue Mountain Peak, certainly achievable for a person of moderate fitness, especially on a week-day when you might have that glorious mountain to yourself, is a truly memorable experience. Lovely views from the top to Port Antonio on one side and Kingston below, and humming birds and natural foliage to beat the band all the way up. Note this requires a jeep-transfer from the farm, which adds some cost. A truly unique and memorable place (this year was my second time back). I hope they never pave that road and change the whole character of a unique slice of Jamaica.

Without a doubt this visit to Jamaica and Lime Tree Farm will be something that lives long in the memory. Situated in the most stunning area, high and far away from normal life the whole trip was this idyllic almost dream like situation. Rodger and Tiff were the most welcoming of hosts and the hospitality provided was nothing short of magnificent. The food was incredible and the way we were looked after was really wonderful. (not forgetting Keisha too!) The views you will experience here on Lime Tree Farm are something I feel i'd see on the television or in a book. It's quite a sight for my brain to really take in as it almost looks like a painting! The peace and calmness of Lime Tree Farm should not be underestimated. A fantastic place, a wonderful trip and a memory I will always cherish.

Charming and romantic with spectacular views, comfortable and safe accommodations, and exceptional food! Roger and his wife Tifony are wonderful hosts and Keisha a fantastic cook. Not just the perfect getaway for couples, but an awesome place for a yoga retreat or family vacation. Can’t wait for my next visit!
