Casa Machaya Oaxaca Bed and Breakfast
Our Oaxaca bed and breakfast provides a spacious full level of our hillside home, with panoramic vistas, complete privacy, and all amenities:

• fully equipped eat-in kitchen with pine table and four chairs;
  
• landscaped patio with padded lawn chairs, freestanding umbrella and hand-hewn stone table and four chairs;
  
• bedsittingroom with queen-size bed, futon, 3 piece wicker settee, cable TV with DVD, night tables, lamp and ceiling fan;
  
• optional adjoining small extra bedroom with full size bunk beds;
  
• 3 piece washroom.

We’re both child and senior friendly. In fact if traveling with infants or young children, we’re pleased to offer the use of a quality crib with all accessories, high chair, car seat and stroller. Contact us for further details including babysitting.

Your Canadian hosts spent four years building their home using a Oaxacan architect so you’re assured of classic Mexican flare, color and design, yet with all the conveniences of home without any cultural surprises:

• an abundance of hot water for showering;
  
• unlimited purified drinking water;
  
• as well as the little things for the kitchen such as coffee maker, toaster, microwave, electric juicer and the usual appliances and kitchen requirements;
  
• even a comfy cot for taking a late afternoon snooze.

Our traditional adobe-stone-brick construction, and our breezy location just above the city’s downtown area ensure moderate temperatures year-round. Awake to the sounds of rooster calls and typical music echoing across the valley, yet you’re only minutes from the zócalo, the heart of downtown Oaxaca with its art galleries, museums, colonial churches and restaurants. Our accommodations combine the service and comfort of a modern Oaxaca hotel, with the personal touch of a quaint country inn.

Available services include:

• airport transportation arranged;
  
• laundry facilities;
  
• complimentary high speed internet access;
  
• private cooking lessons by a reknowned native Oaxacan chef who regularly receives international critical acclaim;
  
• tour guide assistance for day trips to the craft villages (black pottery or barro negro at San Bartolo Coyotepec, rugs or tapetes at Teotitlán del Valle, cotton textiles, alebrijes at San Martín Tilcajete, clay figures of the Aguilar sisters, and more), towns on their market days (Tlacolula and Ocotlán), ruins (Monte Albán, Mitla, Yagul), mezcal factories of Matatlán and the mountain regions, and many sites off-the-beaten-track such as stone sculptor and knifemaker workshops, and the bubbling springs at Hierve el Agua.
  
• hiking, cycling and ecotourism advice and planning assistance.

Oaxaca is our passion. Our goal is to make your vacation as complete and culturally rich as possible. Your privacy is respected, with your hosts always available as your personal resources. In fact we are recognized as a Oaxaca expert on an international travel website, and are founding members of the Oaxaca Bed & Breakfast Association.

Our guests write:

“We had a truly memorable visit in Oaxaca and your hospitality was very much appreciated.”
Eve Hiatt, Louisville, KY.

“If we had stayed in a hotel, we would not have had the rich experience that we had. Oaxaca was the place we had not been before, and so it was ‘the meat’ of the trip. Thanks for all the things you did to make it really amazing.”
K. Marie Taylor, Sault Lake City, UT

“We decided it was the best place we’ve ever stayed in. Quite the travel bargain, too.”
Michael Sugerman, San Francisco, CA

“Thank you both for a truly wonderful time in Oaxaca. I will be recommending Casa Machaya to everyone.”
Kathryn Anderson, London, ON

“We greatly enjoyed our time in Oaxaca. We would gladly be happy to recommend your home and kind attention.”
Gary Austin & Darlean Morris, St. Marys, ON

“Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated your care and thought while we stayed with you. Your willingness to make sure we had everything we needed, and the places you took us were just amazing. We know that you didn’t have to include us, and I was so grateful that you both did. Especially meaningful to me was the care you both took for me when I was ill. I really appreciate your kindnesses. I’ll most definitively be seeing you again, when I return for my next visit. My husband wants to see Oaxaca now that I’ve had such a fabulous time, and I wouldn’t think of staying anywhere else.”
Stephanie Oppelaar, Bellingham, WA

“Once again, thank you so much! We so enjoyed our time in Oaxaca and Casa Machaya. Speaking for all of us, your in-depth knowledge of the culture was certainly a bonus for us. We could not have asked for a more accommodating host.”
Linda Breslin, Baltimore, MD

“Thanks again, to both of you, for making a long-anticipated ‘dream vacation’ a reality. You are great people, and we were fortunate to stay at your place.”
Kristine Hansen, Winnipeg, Manitoba

“Just sending you a little note to say what a great time we had in Oaxaca. We could not have done it without you … we cannot thank you enough. You were such kind hosts and so knowledgeable about the area. You really gave us a great flavour for the region.”
Josh Jacobson & Anna Cantalini, Toronto, ON
