Casa MACHAYA OAXACA Bed and Breakfast is unique among Oaxaca bed and breakfast accommodations in that we rent an entire spacious level of our modern yet traditionally styled Mexican home to only one set of guests at a timea couple, family or individual (second rental unit available upon request). Completely private and with your own separate entrance, you´ll enjoy all amenities.
Your Canadian hosts spent four years building their hillside home with spectacular panoramic vistas using a Oaxacan architect, so you´re assured of traditional Mexican flare, color and design, yet with all the conveniences of home without any cultural surprises.
If traveling with children, we have a good crib with all accessories for toddlers and infants, as well as stroller, high chair and car seat. We can also arrange for baby sitting services so as to enable you to get away for a quiet evening, or spend a hectic day touring without concern for boring the kids. We have made special arrangements with a local hotel for use of their swimming pool by our guests.
We provide the comfort and services of the large Oaxaca hotels, with the personal touch and quaintness of the best of bed and breakfast in Oaxaca. Awake to the rich sounds of rooster calls and Mexican music echoing across the valley, yet you´re only minutes from the zscalo.

We offer internet and laundry facilities at a nominal rate to cover our costs. Bring your own laptop and the internet is free, 24 hours a day. We include in our rate weekday morning drives to the downtown location of your choice (about 10 minutes) be it to a Spanish language school, market, museum or gallery.
