Topanga is a very relaxing and meditative setting, and Tanya's guesthouse is the perfect way to enjoy it. Modern cement floors with lots of light and great views - perfect for relaxing, meditating, and disconnecting. Everything is well considered, with nothing left to ask for.
I like to rent a bike from the Topanga Outpost, and ride the local trails accessible just a few hundred yards away.
The Canyon Bistro is a fun spot to eat dinner. But mostly I just grab some groceries and enjoy modest meals.
