Where
to
stay in Dominica
mid-north
WEST
COAST
|
|
|
| The mid
to north west coast of
Dominica is the warmest
and driest stretch,
falling in what is
termed a 'rainshadow'
area. The waters of the
Caribbean Sea are
generally calm and
clear, protected by the
island's mountainous
terrain from the
prevailing easterly
winds. The coastal road
linking Roseau to
Portsmouth is Dominica's
busiest, on which cheap
local minibus taxis pass
frequently. Although
only the waters around
and to the north of the
Cabrits peninsular are a
designated marine
reserve, a third reserve
will soon be declared
further south. Diving
and snorkelling is good
along this entire
stretch of coastline and
is well catered for by
dive shops at several
locations. The twin
hills of the Cabrits
peninsular are a
National Park, with a
Welcome Centre, several
nature trails and the
historic Fort Shirley,
which is currently being
refurbished. To the
south of Portsmouth
flows the tranquil
Indian River, accessed
by rowing boat only.
Just north of Dublanc
village is a road up to
the Morne Diablotin
National Park which has
a trail to the summit of
our highest mountain,
4,747ft. and another
gentle trail through
Syndicate Forest,
popular for parrot
spotting. The
Coulibistrie and
Macoucherie valleys are
also picturesque. |

NEW! - AUGUST
2011
HILLSBOROUGH, MID WEST COAST
PETINI - 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.
