Castara Cottage - Trinidad and Tobago

Castara Cotttage - self-catering holiday apartments

Castara Cottage is an open, natural style house overlooking the 2 beautiful bays of Castara.  Just 1 minutes walk from both beaches and surrounded by rainforest covered hills, the house is divided into 3 self-catering apartments and can sleep up to 11 people.  A portable child cot is available on request. Each apartment has its own entrance way, kitchen and bathroom with hot water. 

The upper and lower two bedroom apartments have large living / kitchen areas opening out to wooden decks with views of the sea and surrounding fruit trees.  Exotic birds love to fly up to the breakfast table and a paw paw tree grows within arms reach. 

The bright and airy studio apartment has very large wooden shuttered windows which open up to offer a view of a splendid mango tree and a glimpse of the sea.  The upper and studio apartments are interconnected and so can be opened up into a 3 bedroom apartment with 2 kitchens and bathrooms.  This makes it very popular with sharing groups of friends and families with large families and teenagers.

All beds have large mosquito nets supported by wooden corner posts.  Fans, sheets and towels are supplied and changed twice weekly.

Castara is a small fishing village with great snorkelling and a few local style restaurants and bars.  The villagers are friendly and colourful and often offer musical events.  There is a river and waterfall, good for swimming and plenty of rainforest walks, small bays and fishing trips to be enjoyed.

You’ll be surrounded by a tropical rainforest with exotic birds and fireflies at night. You'll be lulled to slep by the sound of the waves, and won’t need air conditioning or TVs, as nature provides fresh pure breezes, bird song and fantastic views all day long. Bring your binoculars. The bird life and the night skies are incredible.

Castara Cottage has views of mountains and the surrounding rain forest covered hills, which cascade down to the sun drenched beaches of the northern and southern bays of Castara.
There's fine snorkeling on the beach at your doorstep - a coral reef lies within 100 meters of the shore.

Don't expect jet skis or water skiing or wind surfing - this is a fishing village.
You can go on boat trips to fish, sightsee, or barbeque on isolated beaches ..... leave at dawn and come back with the setting sun.
