NEW - MAY 2015
NEAR TO MID EAST COAST
BANANA LAMA COTTAGE

  Banana Lama Cottage

.


Location:            Newfoundland Estate, bordering Cacao River, 2 miles inland from Rosalie, mid east coast. 
Brief Description:   Andy (sea captain and engineer) and Melissa (architect and chef) have sailed the world whilst captaining the boats of others. On visiting Dominica, it was not a difficult decision for them to make to relocate and call Dominica their permanent home. Having purchased 3 acres of what was previously a banana farm in one of the most idyllic parts of the island, they set about building their home in the most ecologically friendly way possible. First they built a 1 bedroom cottage in which they have lived whilst building their main home. Both are powered by solar panels and their drinking water is piped from a natural spring on the property. Since completing their main house, the original cottage along with two new ones are available for short term rental. What makes this venue so special is the tranquil location, crystal clear river in which to bathe and the beautifully spacious and well tended garden, decorated with flowering shrubs, an array of colourful flowers, organically grown fruit and veg. The Lounge/Dining/Kitchen area is open plan and due to the privacy of the location opens onto the rear garden below. The bedroom area, however, may be made secure. Downstream is the farmer from whom they purchased, immediate neighbours upstream are an American couple who recently completed their home and beyond that is nothing but unspoilt primordial rainforest rising up to the Morne Trois Pitons National Park, which can be reached by various hiking trails. WiFi internet is available along with 110V outlets for those with North American appliances. Although the kitchen is fully equipped and has a barbecue, it may be possible to share some meals prepared by your hosts, for which there will be a charge.
Please note that Hurricane Maria destroyed two bridges on the access route to Banana Lama. Zip lines have been installed to facilitate crossing the Rosalie River.
