Perched on a hill with a truly magnificent view of the sea below, these five delightful 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
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, 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. As Calibishie is a fishing village, a walk down to the Bayside in the afternoon can reward you with some snapper or kingfish for your evening meal. The boats come in about 4:30 with the daily catch.
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.
SeaCliff is a perfect spot for the eco-traveler and those who just want to relax !
