November 2012 update: until further notice
only the Annex (bedsit apartment) is available Location: near the mouth of the Layou River, Hillsborough, mid west coast Brief Description: Petini Layou is a newly completed (2011) guest cottage situated in a forest clearing on a large private estate near the estuary of Dominica's longest river. The Layou River valley is an area of outstanding natural beauty along which, at weekends and public holidays, both locals and visitors like to picnic and swim. The building comprises a small Annex - bedsit apartment at the front and the remainder is a spacious open plan self contained cottage. The owner currently resides in the main cottage and the Annex is available for short term rentals of minimum stay 1 week. Attractive finishes include tiled floors throughout. Rear door opens onto a covered outdoor patio with table and chairs. Opening windows with insect screens and security bars. The bathroom has a hot water shower. There is no TV, but there is a selection of dvd's to watch on your laptop pc along with WiFi internet. Telephone is available for receiving calls only (cellphones may also be hired with most vehicle rentals). For anyone not taking a vehicle rental at the airport, pick up may be arranged upon request. In the event of utility problems there is a stand-by generator and rainwater storage tank. The access road is unsurfaced and requires a 4 wheel drive vehicle (which we can arrange for you to collect at the airport or ferry dock on arrival in Dominica). A quiet and secluded setting where the only sounds you will hear are those of the birds, frogs and crickets. No children under age 18. This venue is intended for romantic couples, writers, artists, musicians or business people seeking a break from the hustle and bustle of our hectic lifestyles. Maid service twice a week. Though there is a disused quarry in the vicinity it is not visible from the cottage. A good central location, convenient for exploring the entire island - Melville Hall Airport 50 minutes, Roseau 20 minutes. Nearby attractions include wacky Rollers treetops adventure park and river tubing on the Layou River. The popular beach at Mero Village is just a 5 minute drive north and 5 minutes beyond that is Salisbury Beach where scuba diving can be arranged with the East Carib Dive Club. The east coast can be reached via the Layou Valley road and Portsmouth is a 40 minutes drive north, passing on the way the turn off to Syndicate Forest on the western slopes of our highest mountain, Morne Diablotin (4,774 ft.) and Picard Beach. Approaching Portsmouth is the Indian River National Park and beyond Portsmouth is the Cabrits peninsular - a National Park with nature trails and the historic Fort Shirley - and surrounded by a Marine National Park. Comments: Excellent value. Privacy and solitude. Great central location. Rates (US$): fully inclusive per day (min. stay 7 days) no children under age 18 years Annex bedsit ap't for 1 or 2 persons $70.00 Main Cottage unavailable WiFi internet is available for any guests with their own laptop pc Reviews of this venue, once received, will be posted on our Guestbook page:
