NEW! - AUGUST 2011
HILLSBOROUGH, MID WEST COAST
PETINI - LAYOU
| Petrini Layou |
| 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 apartment at the front which will have a long term tenant. The remainder is a spacious open plan self contained cottage used by the owner when visiting Dominica, otherwise available from 1st September 2011 via Nature Island Destinations for short term visitor accommodation. Attractive finishes include tiled floors throughout and wooden clad columns and beams. The owner's musical and artistic flair is apparent in the choice of fixtures and fittings. Indonesian style arched openings surround the western exterior, fitted with outward opening wooden doors, the central pair of which open onto an outdoor patio with loungers. Though the sleeping area is part of the open plan design, a folding screen may be placed around it if desired. There is also a futon - a settee which may be opened out into a second double bed if required. Sleeping area has opening windows with insect screens and security bars. The bathroom has a hot water shower and there is a washing machine in the kitchen. 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). 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 quarry in the vicinity, due to the flat elevated location of the cottage and forested surrounds, no noise from the quarry reaches 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 Apartment for 1 or 2 persons $90.00 per day Each extra person (max. 2) $15.00 per day 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:
