Description

This is an ideal spot for nature lovers who want a remote rainforest feel with good internet and road access. It is great for work in Nature for weeks, months or even years! Mains water, (and reserve tanks) electricity and WIFI are pretty reliable although still vulnerable to bad weather. Outside security cameras cover just the front porch abd side entrance .
 
The property is accessed via a flight of steps through the garden full of fruit trees.
 
The parrots agouti and hummingbirds await......
 
The space
Set in a clearing in the Rainforest, Pineapple Crossing is accessed down thirty steps from its neighbor Birdwatchers Rainforest Cottage.
 
Made from local hardwood it is a sturdy construction with inside and outside living space. Warm water showers and a well equipped kitchen with washing machine are available. As well as the attractive Master bedroom with its own balcony and access to the wild garden and forest , there is another double bed room with its own bathroom and a third bedroom which could be a studio or office with ensuite bathroom.
 
Even if we are away, Bernadette is available to support and troubleshoot from our home in Roseau. We can arrange for guests to be led from the ferry or for a taxi from the airport. Rental vehicles can be delivered (recommended) and meals arranged from our neighbour Fiona.
 
Guest access
Easy access to the mid point of Segment 4 of the Waitikubuli trail and the path to Middleham Falls (2hrs) . There are several local bars and a shop down our steep drive and turn left! All this means that a vehicle is useful but not crucial. Local buses run from the end of the road. If you are energetic and not time bound as there is no timetable!
 
Other things to note
Any visitors who fancy themselves as gardeners or decorators can offer to lend a hand or make suggestions as we develop this hidden gem. Don't burn yourself on the solar hotwater! there are bugs that live in the rainforest bring insect repellent and sun screen. Oh and it rains in the rainforest!

CONTACT OWNER

I am originally from the UK and double as the British Honorary Consul, a resource for tourists in trouble. My husband Harry is Dominican and is a fisherman although we lost the boat in the Hurricane . He is often the one to meet and greet and fix anything that goes wrong. He can also provide a taxi to Roseau and will appreciate a petrol donation! By profession I am a social worker and counsellor. We are Christians and are known in society as Sister Tina and Brother Harry.
Harry has a pick up and often drives people who wish to be taken round the island especially to rougher areas and if they are used to driving on the other side of the road. He will also take guests to the diving or to Boiling Lake and pick them up afterwards. (He and his vehicle costs USD100 per day plus gas)
We live in Munro Street in Goodwill and are conveniently located near to the Hospital and the Stadium.

We loved living in the Rainforest with the parents hummingbirds, agouti sugarcane, soursop, grapefruits, bananas, and of course the pineapples to this place is amazing ????
