COVID-19 Update

We have implemented a COVID-19 Vaccination Policy which requires double dose vaccination before visiting Gojyuan. Vaccination Certificates must be sighted before the booking is confirmed and finalised.

It is very important to read our Terms and Conditions before making a booking.

Please take care and stay safe.

Ryokan Gojyuan

Gojyuan is a small traditional Japanese style inn so we are able to provide the hospitality and service that is customary in Japan.

A koi pond is featured outside the main lobby area and continues beside the covered walkway between the guest rooms. This provides a quiet space where you can listen to the sounds of running water and our local birds. The perfect place to relax after a busy day.

Facilities

Breakfast

During the summer months, if the weather is good we move one table over the walkway so you can enjoy the view and relaxing atmosphere of our koi pond. Otherwise it is served in our lobby where you can still enjoy our garden.

It is Japanese style and includes rice, miso soup, homemade pickles, 3 vegetable dishes, egg and fish. We can cater for vegetarian, vegan and special requests. As our food is fresh and normally takes up to 2 hours to prepare, we like our guests to arrive about 5 minutes before their requested breakfast time to ensure the maximum quality.

Check in and Check out Times

Check in time is 3pm and check out time is 10am. Please advise us if the check-in time is later than 7pm as we make up the futons by 7pm or when our guests go out to dinner. If guests do not check-in by 9pm without prior arrangement, it is deemed a no-show and the booking is cancelled. Our apologies but we are unable to offer early check in or late check out.

Babies and Children

Unfortunately, due to the layout of Gojyuan and the proximity of our pond, we are unable to take bookings for babies or children under the age of 16.

Payment Procedures

We offer two types of payment methods - PayPal and Gift Vouchers. Full payment is required when the booking is made. After we have sighted all vaccination certificates, you will receive a final email with extra details regarding your visit.
