Where to stay in
Dominica
the EAST COAST
|
|
|
Dominica's
east coast
receives
prevailing winds
off the Atlantic
Ocean. Much of the
coastline is
rugged and the
roads twist and
climb over many
ridges and cliffs
between frequent
river valleys.
Picturesque coves
nestle between
jagged headlands
and there are the
occasional
stretches of
shallow beach
where the surf
rolls in over
fine, dark,
volcanic sand and
where turtles
often come ashore
to lay their eggs at
night.
Abundant rainfall
nurtures lush
vegetation -
ferns, heliconia,
climbing cheese
plants etc., along
with our
plantations of
coconuts, bananas
and other tropical
produce. From the
Pagua River, the
road weaves south
through the Carib
Territory, where
fruit, freshly
squeezed juices
and local
handicrafts such
as basket weaving
and carvings may
be purchased from
small roadside
kiosks. Beyond
Castle Bruce, the
coast road ends at
Petit Soufriere.
To continue south,
one must head
inland from Castle
Bruce, to bear
left at the first
junction after
passing the
Emerald Pool
Visitor Centre,
rejoining the
coast at the
Rosalie River
mouth. The scenery
along this
southerly stretch
is particularly
striking, as the
many forest clad
mountains within
the Morne Trois
Pitons National
Park tower steeply
above, their peaks
often shrouded by
cloud. Hiking
trails to two of
our most beautiful
waterfalls are
accessed from this
side - the trail
to Sari Sari Falls
is about an hour
each way from
above La Plaine,
and the Victoria
Falls on the White
River (flowing
south east from
the Boiling Lake)
may be reached
from Delices.
Also, from Rosalie
Bat, the road up
and through the
village of Grand
Fond continues as
a hiking trail up
to the Freshwater
Lake, situated at
an altutude of
2,500ft..

COFFEE RIVER
COTTAGE
Location:
Melville
Hall Estate, north

Brief
Description:
Steve
& Sandra migrated
from Canada in 1996 to
make Dominica their new
home. They purchased 5
acres of a banana
plantation bordering a
river on which they
built their home. More
recently they completed
the first of 2 cottages,
to accommodate visitors
to Dominica. The cottage
is well designed and
constructed, tastefully
finished and furnished.
Open dining
area, kitchen,
lounge,
bathroom
and 2
open plan
upstairs
bedrooms.
1st Bedroom has 2 single
single beds, 2nd bedroom
has a double bed. Hot
water. What makes this
venue so special is the
tranquil location,
crystal clear river in
which to bathe and the
beautifully spacious
garden, decorated with
flowering shrubs, an
array of colourful
flowers, organically
grown fruit and a lawned
area with picnic tables.
This is the closest
venue to Melville Hall
Airport, approx. 1 mile,
so a perfect place to
start and finish your
Dominica vacation,
especially if your
flight arrives late in
the afternoon or leaves
early in the morning.

min. drive south. To the NW is Hodges Bay, Calibishie village, Hampstead
Beach and the 20 min. trail to Chaudier Pool on the Hampstead River.

this tranquil
spot is a
great place to
relax in a
hammock, bathe
in river
pools, eat
organically
home grown
produce and
enjoy nature's
birds,
butterflies
and lush
vegetation,
whilst just a
short drive
from the
Atlantic Ocean
with turtle
beaches at
Rosalie Bay,
Riviere
Cyrique and
Laplaine.
Campers are
also welcome.

are some
interesting
local trails;

nearby village
of Grand Fond
is a trail
which climbs
up to the
Freshwater
Lake at
2,500ft,
located in the
Morne Trois
Pitons
National Park,
another which

scenic
waterfall on
the O'hara
