Orange River Ranch: Open air restaurant

Open Air

The open air restaurant at the ranch was lovely. It had vines and blooming flowers all along the open side. The food was edible but nothing memorable.
Breakfast was included in the room rate and I believe that dinner could be for a few dollars extra. We chose not to include it because sometimes we had a large lunch somewhere else.

Favorite Dish: The only thing I remember was the night they had goat and another guest was very upset to find out that she couldn't order something else instead.
They offered one special meal every night and if you didn't like what they served you did without. I hope that this policy has changed also.

Used Van

They have a daily shuttle between Orange River Ranch and Mo Bay. You can get there that way or you can drive yourself in a rental car. We chose to do the latter.
The van in the picture was parked on the ground near the office but I do hope that they have purchased a new one now.

Going to town

There was nothing that you could buy at the ranch when we stayed there but they may have a gift shop now. You can catch the daily shuttle from there and go into Mo Bay to do some shopping.

On the 998 acres of Orange River Ranch, you are sure to spot many species of birds.
Some are found nowhere else except Jamaica. So get on your walking shoes, grab your binoculars and look around.
