Perched on a hill with a truly magnificent view of the
sea below, these five delightful self-catering cottages
provide you with all your needs while visiting
Dominica. Situated on three acres of attractively
landscaped grounds, each of the five cottages
provides a sense of privacy and relaxation as you sit
on your balcony watching the moonlight shimmer on
the palms and listen to the rhythmic surf below.
Fruit trees and gardens are planted around the
cottages and hummingbirds dart from blossom to
blossom with their brilliant colours flashing in the
sunlight..
Each cottage is of a different size and design from a
Studio for two people to a two bedroom cottage for a
family of five. The one bedroom home also has a
guest apartment for friends to join them.
We try to actually live up to the name of "eco-
friendly" by using solar for our electric power and hot
water needs
The cottages are different prices for the different
sizes.
Including tax they range from $600us in the winter
season to $924 for the larger cottages including tax.
Summer season is discounted

The beach below is a good swimming place with the
added attraction of a fresh water river flowing in to the
sea . Wonderful to rinse off after bathing in the salt.
We are close to other beaches, a lovely waterfall, the
carib territory , rainforest and lots of hiking trails up to
the ridges.
SeaCliff is a wonderful place for hikers and nature
lovers. Artists and photographers will be equally
happy here with so many beautiful vistas every where
you look. We can offer you a chance to learn about
and be a part of local island culture . Talk to the local
people when you stroll down into the village and they
will be happy to answer any questions you may have
about the area. People are very proud of their
beautiful country and happy to share their knowledge
with you.
Staying at SeaCliff will give you insight into the heart
of Dominica !

The cottages are designed with an open concept.
Cathedral ceilings and tiled floors open onto
balconies facing the sea. We try to be
environmentally correct by using solar hot water,
solar electric, composting, and staying away from
harmful pesticides, sprays etc. The water is fresh
and pure, piped into the houses from the rivers high
in the mountains. The modern kitchens are complete
with all that is needed for meal preparation and all
linens and towels are provided for . Catering, maid
and laundry service are available upon request or, if
you prefer, you are welcome to the use of our laundry
facility. A baby bed is also provided for those
traveling with very small toddlers. Several barbeques
are on the grounds for people who enjoy grilling an
evening meal and the balconies have outdoor furniture
for dining as well

There are no apartments attached to the cottages so
you do not have to concern yourself with people living
above ,or below you, as each building is rented to
only one group at a time. Each cottage has a cell
phone and wireless internet is provided


HIKING TRAILS AND SITES OF INTEREST

Although we do not offer set "tours" we have several
guides who will be happy to take you to various spots
if you wish. Otherwise ,there is lots that you can do
on your own. There are numerous small roads that
lead up into the hills behind Calibishie. These are
"feeder roads" for the banana farmers and lead up
onto the ridges looking down on the valleys below.
Partly bush and part banana plantation, there are
some incredible views as you look across the valleys
and out to the sea. During nesting season, you can
see flocks of parrots in the trees.
Various rivers flow down from the mountains with
waterfalls and
bathing pools if you know where to look. Just past
the village of Bense (a couple of miles from Calibishie
) is a lovely little waterfall, the Chaudiere Falls, where
you can dive from the top into the pool below. Off the
beaten track in the forest it is a wonderful spot to
spend the day.

There are many other spots to discover and explore.
The Northeast is truly dramatic and exhilarating !

FOOD AND RESTAURANTS

There are several good restaurants in the village of
Calibishie which will provide you with local, French or
North American fare. The grocery stores are small,
but well stocked with your basic needs. Originally a
fishing village you can still find fresh seafored from
local fishermen
An excellent outdoor market is held twice a week in
the town of Portsmouth, about 12 miles away. All the
fresh fruit, vegetables and spices grown on the island
are available there. Local farmers also come around
to the houses with the produce they are growing. A
variety of fruit trees are planted on the property and
you can enjoy limes, papaya, guava, grapefruit,
mangoes etc. according to the season.



We are lucky to be on one of the best beaches in the
northeast for swimming and snorkeling. The beach
that you see from the balcony is accessible by a
pathway close to the property. Generally very quiet,
except for some fishermen and maybe a family doing
their washing in the river flowing into the sea, you can
snorkel on the reef, swim or explore the small island
just off shore. The river is a favourite spot for children
to play and is convenient for washing the salt water
off after a swim in the ocean.


Point Baptiste, (the next beach down), can be
reached by foot or car. It is about 1/2 mile away and
another area of spectacular beauty. A third sandy
beach, Woodford Hill Beach, is about a half hour
walk or a 5 minute drive.

Come and enjoy Dominica with us. For those who
stay for a week you will get one nights free lodging.
and bank.

Sea Cliff is a perfect spot for themore independant
eco-traveler and those who just want to relax !
