The Gem Room, Calm, cozy, and full of charm.
The Gem Room is a peaceful mountain hideaway for solo travellers or couples.

Wake to soft morning light over the Blue Mountains, and spend your days unwinding in your own private garden. It’s the perfect spot to read, rest, and reconnect—with yourself or someone special.

The space
The Gem room is a real hidden gem, cosy with views over looking the blue mountains.
A perfect place to lie in bed and catch the early morning sunrise or sit on the private terrace and watch the colours of sunset.

This room has its own private garden area where you may catch a sight of the many varieties of birds and butterflies living in the canopy.

Our guesthouse is self-catering, which means you’ve got the freedom to cook your own meals whenever it suits you. To get you started, we include a complimentary breakfast on your first morning—just our way of saying welcome!

For everything else, you’re welcome to use the shared kitchen, fully equipped with the basics for cooking and storing food. If you don’t feel like cooking, no problem—we’ve teamed up with a great local chef who can deliver delicious homemade dinners right to the guesthouse. Menus and ordering info are available when you arrive.

We’re always around if you need help or local tips, so just let us know!

If your driving or like hiking there are a few restaurants/cafe perfect for lunch.

We do not have any television in our rooms as we solely concentrate on natural remedies for life and giving you an experience you will never forget.

Guest access
The heart of the property is our kitchen and dining area — perfect for meals with mountain views, games, or a good chat.

Guests have access to our rustic outdoor gym and a tucked-away gazebo with a sun deck, pool table, dartboard, and chill-out space.

There are open areas around the property for yoga, games, exercise, or just relaxing by the sound of the river.

During your stay
No schedules. No pressure. Just comfort — as much or as little as needed

Other things to note
Getting Here
We’re located just off the B1 route heading toward New Castle.

We can arrange a pick up service which we strongly recommend, as road conditions have worsened due to the recent storms. You can reach out to us for more information. We can be flexible with arrival times when using our pick up serve, and you can arrange this us in advance.

If you do wish to make your own way here, please be aware that the mountain roads are narrow in places. Some parts of the road are only accessible with a 4x4, and local taxis will likely not be able to make it right to the property, if they are not familiar with the roads. These are truly mountain roads for the adventurous! Airport taxis and Uber taxis are not recommended. Please aim to arrive by 6pm, as the roads are challenging after dark.

Please do reach out for any support regarding your travel arrangements before hand.

Evenings can get cool in the mountains, so we recommend bringing a warm sweater and a rain mac—just in case.

Payment:

Cash is preferred for tours and meals ordered from the local chef, but card is accepted.

Lives in Kingston, Jamaica
I’m happy to spend time with my guests or give them space
Hiiiiyaaaa my name is Michelle and I have found my piece of paradise here in the Blue Mountains. We moved as a family from London to Jamaica after falling in love with the Blue Mountains just above Kingston town. Our goal is to promote the lifestyle and the natural beauty that can be found living in the mountains. With our infusion of Jamaican and British heritage, we hope to bring to you a genuinely relaxing, stressfree and fantastic experience.
