Very relaxing

You're on top of a mountain in Tobago. A beautiful breeze blows constantly - no need for AC. The house is spacious and well laid out with lots of room. Loved it! Being Tobago, it's easy to go everywhere.

For boat enthusiasts, there are various boat/fishing contests throughout the year and a regatta in February, now extended to include all wind sports such as surf/ kite flying.The famous power boat race between Trinidad and Tobago, the Great Race, is held over August Bank Holiday

For a hike with a difference, we recommend Mark Puddy. He'll take you to out of the way waterfalls for a 'river lime' with a delicious home made picnic and plenty of anecdotal quips along the way.

Swimming with Horses offers a unique experience- swim bareback across Buccoo Baybeach or inland ride, we have the nformation at hand in our house book as with recommended restaurants.

We also have a lovely Art Gallery in Tobago, full of desirable works. They have prints for sale too. There is a local zoo where the bush animals are kept in twos in lovely surroundings and there is a museum nearby at Fort George.

Apart from the birds in MM garden, there are several bird sanctuaries about fifteen minutes away at Plymouth and Stonehaven ..

In April, there is The Jazz Experience held in the magical environ of Pigeon Point Park with days on the beach and evenings under palm trees.

At Easter time. there are the hilarious goat and crab races at Buccoo, now held on a new , specially created track with excellent spectator facilities.

Throughout July, villages in the area host entertainment - enactments of historical events , often in plantation days with colourful portrayals -dramas, singing dancing in the costumes of the times. Three villages locally are involved in this festival - Whim, Mount Grace and Les Coteaux- each offering a different aspect of the past.
