It is located just 15 minutes from the center of Roseau, the capital of The Commonwealth of Dominica and the commercial center of the country.
Snorkelling, diving, hiking, waterfalls, hot springs, yoga and whale-watching are some of the many attractions within half an hour’s drive.
The house is at an altitude of 390 metres (1280 feet), meaning a cooler temperature and comfortable nights. The house and pool face due west, with a great view of the Caribbean, gorgeous sunsets and spectacular rainbows, and sometimes the famous ‘Green Flash’ just as the sun disappears below the horizon. The night sky – especially the Milky Way – is stunning.
The Garden
The house stands in one and a half acres with a verity of fruits when in season, (bananas, guavas, mangoes, avocados, coconuts, paw-paw). Try glasses of cold coconut water from the young ‘jelly-nuts’. The garden has many trees other than the fruit trees, such as mahogany, ylang-ylang trees, pacific palms, royal palms, tamarind, moringa………..
The garden has many flowers – oleander, poinsettia, snow on the mountain, heliconia, bougainvillea, ornamental ginger, lantana, and many more. Feel free to fill the vases with floral arrangements. The gardener keeps everything tidy twice a week.
The Accommodation
The house is built on 5 half levels, with 3 terraces. There are plenty of outdoor chairs and tables. You can sit and eat outside on the terraces and not be troubled by lots of bugs even during the evening.
Each of the three bedrooms has a ceiling fan, bedside tables, hanging space and drawers. There are screens on the windows. The master bedroom suite has a king-size bed, bathroom and a study/dressing table area, with one single bed and room for another mattress on the floor. There is a hair dryer, iron and ironing board.

The living room has double doors opening out to the main terrace and big windows opening onto the back terrace, always cool and shady, with a breeze wafting in from the mountains to the southeast. The top terrace is just outside the middle bedroom, with chairs and table, and the best views of the Caribbean.
