About this property

Romantic Cottage in Tropical garden, Falmouth Harbour

Lush Tropical Setting

COVID-10 Clearance Certification by Antigua & Barbuda Tourism

Bamboo Cottage is for nature lovers, set in a lush garden within a five minute walk to the sea. The cottage is nestled among palms and clusters of tall bamboo. Adding to the tranquillity, as the sway and rustle of these trees make music in the Caribbean breeze.

The Cottage is on two levels, the large verandah entrance leads into the open plan kitchen and living area which is well stocked, an island wth a gas range, a convection oven and microwave for cooking. Also an additional shower is located on the verandah for
your return from the beach or the pool. A spiral staircase goes up to the bedroom with an 'open plan bathroom' . Also another verandah off the bedroom which looks thru the bamboo out to sea
and the yachts in Falmouth Harbour.

Falmouth Harbour is the centre of the yachting industry in Antigua & Barbuda. This is on the southwestern side of the island and is the home of the internationally famous Classic Regatta followed by Antigua Sailing Week. Also a five minute drive to the beautiful Pidgeon Beach, Shirley Heights Lookout (Antigua's National Park) and Historic Nelson's Dockyard.

Bamboo House apartment #262413 is also available. Please see listing for details.

Bamboo Garden: The owner lives on the upper floor of Bamboo House, which is on the other side of the property from the cottage, However the property has been cleverly designed to give everyone their own access and privacy, while having the security of knowing there is someone around should you need any assistance.

The property has a very romantic and relaxed feeling and an ideal place to just sit back and enjoy, also a good base from which to do your exploring of the island.

Incredible stay!

Bamboo Cottage is the perfect place from which to explore Antigua! Jo is an amazing host and gave us so many brilliant recommendations. The cottage itself is everything we hoped for, set in an amazing garden and wonderful pool area. Would definitely recommend and we will be back!

Excellent stay

We had a wonderful peaceful holiday at the Bamboo Cottage. It has beautiful gardens and Joanne was a excellent host. The pool was much appreciated after a hot day at the beach.

The Jewel in the Crown

Our Antigua trip was planned as a two centre break - first week in a smart (and expensive) all-inclusive resort hotel on the North Coast of the island, followed by 8 days "fending for ourselves", self-catering in Bamboo Cottage, down in the "yachtie paradise" of Falmouth/English harbours. We never anticipated that the cottage would beat the resort - but it did - out of sight! When we arrived, as the delightful (Canadian) property owner Joanne was proudly showing us around, we immediately realised how privileged we were to have picked on this place - beautiful, enveloped in a substantial established tropical garden (Joanne's brainchild - many years in the making), with a glorious pool as its centrepiece, right down to the rustic, yet surprisingly comfortable and well equipped cottage. Be sure, if you come, to get Joanne to show you how to fill up the bird feeder on the verandah with sugar water - filled up before breakfast and you will have a cabaret right through to dusk from the hummingbirds and bananaquits (sugar birds). A virtual native, having settled in the area 30 years ago, Joanne, while unobtrusive, is always on hand ready to guide you with the best things to do - restaurants for fine dining (if the budget allows, book SouthPoint for dinner one night, and sit on a floating dock, in spitting distance of a billion dollars or so of super-yachts!), down to pizza or bbq joints, as well as being a mine of information about the local beaches and amenities. One thing though - you will need a car - a basic one will do, or, better still, a small SUV - some of the roads are a bit rough! And another thing, Joanne lives in the house at the other end of the garden - she lives on the upstairs floor and lets out the apartment beneath, so while, in theory, the pool is shared, we certainly didn't see anybody by the pool - and we had most of our days there, languishing in the sun, before setting off to explore the outside world. There's a lot to see - apart from Nelson's Dockyard (don't miss the Seafood Friday BBQ), there's Shirley Heights, The Green Corridor, the gorgeous white sandy beaches and deep blue sea of the West Coast, Jolly Harbour etc etc Thank you Joanne, for letting us sample your magical bit of the Caribbean - we'll be back!

Paradise!

Thank you Joanne for your wonderful hospitality during our 1 week stay at bamboo cottage. We had a great time, just wishing we could have stayed longer!! The cottage itself has everything you need - a kitchen to cook your own meals in if this is what you like doing. We cooked a couple of meals and sat out on the veranda in the evening which was lovely. The pool area surrounded in Joanne’s beautiful gardens is wonderful and just what you need at the end of the day. We hired a car out and drove all round the island! There is a parking spot at the cottage. We drove to English harbour which takes 5 mins! Pigeon beach and nelsons dockyard are 10 mins drive away. Shirley heights 15 mins. You will not regret your stay here. It’s beautiful! We definitely want to come back and stay here .. but for 2 weeks or more this time! Jasmine and josh x

Heaven!

We leave this beautiful house "Bamboo Cottage" and its magical gardens tonight. This is a proper house with all the home comforts of home, such a lovely house and garden to relax in and a super swimming pool surrounded by palm and bamboo trees. There is also an abundance of wild life, from birds, tree frogs, (which I heard, but never saw) as well as lizards etc. (don't worry, none of these can get into the house). I would 100% recommend the bamboo Cottage. Joanne the Canadian owner is charming and such a friendly lady always here at hand with advice and suggestions on places to visit and eat. we will definitely return to this magical house and garden. It is also located in the English Harbour area. 40 minute walk/5 minute drive. without any doubt the best area on the island. we will be sad to leave this place tonight, it really did become part of us. a home from home in the sunshine! 10/10 from us!

About the host

Hosted by 12687363630

Joanne, your host is a Canadian who has been living in Antigua for the past 24 years. She is an avid gardener and the property reflects this. Another of Joanne's passion is food, for over 12 years she ran a restaurant she started in the harbour. Having sold the restaurant she now turns her attention to the maintenance of her garden and growing mico herbs for the restaurants & yacht chefs. Want to feel at home, Joanne is your best host!

Why they chose this property

I had the cottage built in 2009 in my garden as I think it is a very beautiful place and wanted to share it with others.

What makes this property unique

The sound of the birds singing during the day and the tree frogs in the evening add to swimming tin the pool that is surrounded by bamboo and palm trees and is even more beautiful in the evening in the bath temperture water and the star clustered skies.
