The views from bed, the living area and the porch are all wonderful. The house partly sits under an old mango tree which offers additional welcome shade when the sun is strong, and is also surrounded by gardens newly planted with shrubs and small trees.
Children of all ages are welcome.
Outside
As you stroll around the gardens, enjoy the landscape of grassy banks, fragrant shrubs, exotic flowers, and towering trees: our gardens are extensive. This forms the immediate environment for Birdsong, from which to view the abundant bird and sea life. Aside from the lodge's private viewing deck with colourful, comfortable seating, there is a magnificent Pavilion more centrally placed for socialising or just sitting where we offer Friday night barbecues for all our guests. We have a number of fruiting trees, the fruits of which are available to our guests according to the season: mangoes, papaya, banana, limes, lemons, plantain, with avocado trees soon to reach maturity.
Fresh fish is available on a daily basis from the fishermen on the beach.
Coast/Beach
It is a 4 minute walk to the half mile long sandy beach of Castara Bay, which is on the gentler Caribbean Ocean side (West) of the island. This gently sloping bay is perfect for swimming and sunbathing, and is provided with lifeguards for added safety. The neighbouring Little Bay (6 minute walk from main bay) is a wonderful area for snorkeling to view coral and the related fish.
Englishman's Bay is a 7 minute drive.
Golf
Two championship 18 hole courses - one at Mt Irvine, the other at Tobago Plantations. About 45 minutes drive.
Special interest holidays
Castara Retreats and Castara is ideally situated for clients who are interested in bird watching, swimming, snorkeling and diving, rainforest guided walks and fishing. Over 60 varieties of birds have been seen without leaving our property, and the snorkeling off the Little Bay or Englishman's Bay is excellent. Rainforest walks with experienced guides can be easily arranged as well as boat trips.
Travel
Crown Point airport in the south of the island is 50 minutes by car. Car hire can be arranged once in Castara, but it is very easy and relaxing to just stay in Castara for your whole stay and get Porridge, our manager, to take you wherever you might like to go.
Distances
Scarborough (capital): 40 minute drive.
Speyside (diving centre): 60 minute drive.
Charlotteville (pretty fishing village in North): 90 minute drive.
Pigeon Point (well known beach in South): 60 minute drive.
Rainforest and sea: immediate vicinity.
Further details
Castara has shops to cater for your basic food requirements. Fresh fish is available to buy most days from the fishermen, and bread is baked twice a week in the village clay oven. Larger scale shopping is usually done at PennySavers supermarket near the airport. There are 5 or 6 local restaurants in Castara.
Cash points can be found at the airport and in Scarborough as well as in the village.
