Services

We invite you to share our Caribbean home and we want to welcome you for whatever reason you want to visit us. Our aim is to provide a friendly, informal and personalised stay for our guests. We would hope to give each guest time to meet with us and to discuss what they wish to gain from their time at the Hummingbird Retreat and for us to facilitate these hopes for their stay.

Our rooms

There are 3 double/twin rooms which are all en suite and also a self-contained apartment. In total the house can accommodate 8 guests. Any bedroom will be available as a single room if required.

​

The apartment has an open-plan kitchen/living area with a private balcony that has a sea view. The apartment bedroom can be either a double or twin room and has a large walk-in wardrobe and shower room.

The house is detached and has three levels. On the middle floor are the three guest rooms and guest apartment. On this level there is also a small courtyard, a large dining/living room area, two kitchens, a laundry area and a pantry. There will also be a library and a 'sacred space' room. There is a large balcony area on this floor overlooking the sea. The garage will be converted into an art/creative workshop space which opens onto the garden. There are two further rooms on the lower floor and the top level is for private residence. There is parking space and the house is on a very quiet road. The house sits on half an acre of gently sloping land which offers various places to sit and enjoy the sea view. There are some fruit trees in the garden such as bananas, limes and papayas. Meals will be simple, home-cooked food which is locally sourced. Special diets will be catered for where possible but this may be limited due to the availability of specialised food on the island and the small size of the retreat house. Guests may be full board, half board or self-catering.
