Om overnatningsstedet

Bamboo Garden - Falmouth Harbour

Smuk tropisk have

Beliggende ved foden af Monks Hill og inden for få minutters gang til havet og en kort køretur til English Harbour og lystbåde fra hele verden. Bamboo Place ligger i en frodig tropisk omgivelse med udsigt over Falmouth Harbour.

Ejendommen består af Bamboo House og Bamboo Cottage forbundet med en swimmingpool med en smuk palmefyldt have, sjælden gigantisk White Bird of Paradise og klynger af høj bambus, der tilføjer roen, da disse træers sving og rasling skaber musik i Caribisk brise.

Bamboo House er en to etager, lejligheden på hovedniveau er en rummelig to soveværelser, to bad med en stor åben planløsning, spisestue og køkkenområde og en enorm tilstødende veranda med spisebord, sofa og stor dobbelt hængekøje til læsning eller siesta.

Der er også et soveværelse, 2 etagers sommerhus til rådighed. Se VRBO-liste # 266897.

Lejligheden og hytten # 266897 kan lejes separat eller som en. Ejeren bor på øverste etage i Bamboo House, men ejendommen er blevet smart designet til at give alle deres egen adgang og privatliv, mens de har sikkerheden ved at vide, at der er nogen, hvis du har brug for hjælp.

Ejendommen har en meget romantisk og afslappet følelse og er et ideelt sted at bare læne sig tilbage og nyde, også en god base hvorfra man kan udforske øen.

The best we could wish for

11 nights over Easter holidays with two teen daughters (13 and 15). We wanted a relax holiday allowing our eldest to study for her exams, but also wanted to do something different and have a nice place to chill in.Joanne’s bamboo house was just perfect, great space to relax, enjoy the garden and the pool.Our kids enjoyed the two small dogs mango and cashew, we all loved watching hummingbirds in the garden. The location is perfect, easy to get to the harbour 5 mins by car, jolly harbour 40 mins or Shirley heights in 10 mins.Lots of lovely food, sweet t’s 5 minute walk.Pigeon beach and galleon beach 5 minute drives. Definitely recommend a car, a good suspension for all the potholes!If relax and enjoy the local Antiguan ways this is your spot!

Peaceful Oasis

What a wonderful holiday we’ve had at Bamboo Garden!Away from the hustle and bustle, yet a short distance to the fabulous restaurants in English and Falmouth Harbour. Joanna has the most beautiful surroundings to her delightful properties and inviting pool. The gardens are an absolute delight, flowers, mature trees, bushes and of course bamboo! At night pretty lights adorn them and it’s stunning! Two gorgeous dogs and tortoises live here too. The tortoises range from very tiny to large and add to the ambience. Inside is spacious and comfortable with everything one would need for a restful stay. The BBQ worked very well.Joanne made us very welcome and is friendly and helpful! Best place we’ve stayed as a couple across the island, having visited Antigua for many years. Thank you Jo! Definitely advise a hire car, 4x4 is our choice. Roads can be bumpy and side roads may resemble tracks. We travelled the length and breadth of the island without any problems. There are a few supermarkets close by, the super large Epicurian supermarket, near St John’s is approx a 30 minute drive. We visited numerous beaches across the island during our stay, dining in the lovely beach bars/restaurants.

Fantastic!

Bamboo Garden is just the perfect place to stay. The house is lovely and the garden and pool are just wonderful, a haven in the heat of the afternoon and away from the busy harbour area. Jo couldn't have been more helpful and made our stay all the more enjoyable. It is so easy to access many parts of the island. A car really is essential if you want to explore. Hope to be back at some stage!

All it was advertised as and more!

The Bamboo Cottage could be called the Garden of Eden! What a lovely, secluded paradise. The cottage itself was a spacious, well appointed, very clean two-bedroom, two-bath space with a full kitchen. The porch was what we enjoyed most. We had morning coffee watching the hummingbirds, finches and bananquits join us for breakfast. A BBQ grill was convenient (we prepped food for a boat charter). The pool was also a great amenity. Joanne was the perfect host as she provided info and help but was never intrusive. She knows Antigua! An A+ recommendation.

Perfect Getaway

Bamboo Garden was the perfect Caribbean getaway. A spacious, clean house, allowing two couples to have their own private bedroom and bathroom on either side of the main living area. Speaking of which, we were mostly outside, on the comfortable porch or beside the pool, surrounded by beautiful gardens and birdsong. Joanne is also the perfect host. We would definitely come again.

A Perfect Place to Stay in English Harbor

Had a great stay at Joanne's house. Staying at the property feels like living in a tropical garden. A truly unique place. The location is very close to a couple of outstanding beaches, grocery stores, and many good restaurants (the service everywhere is super slow, allocate 2 to 3 hours for a dinner). The beach chairs are provided, although there is no cooler to take to the beach. The car is a must of course and an SUV is preferred, not so much for the roads but to bring beach chairs to the beaches as some of the chairs are not foldable. The apartment is spacious for a family of 4 and provides all the necessary amenities. The A/C (in the bedrooms only) work great. The living room/kitchen/dining areas can get a bit warm though. There are no washer and dryer but Joanne provides towel service when requested. Joanne is a superb host, very accommodating and is ready to help with any question or concern you might have. She will go above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable.

This is the second time we have stayed here and it was even better then the first. Joanne is the best! We only had a few days due to schedule and Joanne gave us a list of all the new places since the last time we were there so we could maximize our stay. Already thinking of our next stay.

Vibing out

This property was divine. The vibe was just relaxing and laid back. We spent as much time as possible in the garden and pool. It was as if in a world all by yourself. Joanne has done an amazing job with the grounds, making it secluded and lots of comfortable sitting areas in garden and by pool. Kitchen well stocked and beds comfortable. Joanne gave the best recommendations. Would visit this property again and again.

Stayed 11 nights at Bamboo Cottage, really beautiful property and amazing garden. The host Joanne was very welcoming and very helpful with what to do on the island, best places to etc. Would definitely go back there, is best to hire a car but as restaurants and beach not too far hiring a taxi would be good too.

We had a magical stay in Antigua at Joanne's Bamboo Garden. It is a beautiful garden with a lovely well kept private pool. The house has everything you need, comfortable beds, air con in the bedrooms and a lovely relaxed feel. The house is well located within 10 minutes of English Harbour (by car). Joanne was extremely helpful and made us feel very welcome. We had a wonderful stay and would like to like to visit again. Thank you Joanne for helping make our trip so special.

Oasis in Antigua

Call it oasis, call it paradise, call it haven. It’s all true. This is what ‘Bamboo Garden’ really is. Joanne created this lush beautiful sanctuary in the middle of nowhere, but close enough to everywhere you want to go. Highly recommended this peaceful place to come back to after exploring the island, spending a day at the beach, or just hanging out and relax by the pool. PS I wouldn’t recommend D’s car rental. There’re many other reliable car rental agencies on the island.

Paradise Getaway!

The Bamboo Garden has all the amenities we needed. It was just right for a family of 4. Joanne is an amazing host. Upon arrival during the week of Christmas, we were greeted with a platter of fruits, cheeses, crackers, pitas and homemade hummus. She also provided us with a bottle of wine, a couple of beers and sorrel. The house is spacious with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The beds came equipped with mosquito nets, not that we really needed them. Each room had a remote air conditioning, ceiling fans and standing fans. The second room, contained 2 beds (one queen sized and one single). The kitchen is fully equipped with all the items you would need to prepare meals, as we cooked everyday. There was also a picnic basket which we used to carry to the beach with us. Pigeon beach is an amazing beach in the English Harbour. Be sure to check it. We didn’t rent a car as we were apprehensive driving on the other side of the road and it helped that Joanne connected us with a taxi driver named Jason who was very helpful and very responsive. I added him on WhatsApp and he was always available immediately. If he was not available to take us to our destination, he would make sure that another taxi was available to pick us up. It’s $10 USD to get us to Pigeon Beach and back. The house also has a nice patio with a hammock. The pool was also a nice treat! Joanne keeps a bookshelf full of books that I was able to take advantage of. This place is honestly a paradise retreat. You can tell that Joanne put in a lot of work into it, lots of plants and trees that surround it! It’s very private - although there is another structure on the property (cottage) and there was a couple staying there, we didn’t even see them because of all the trees that covered both houses. Joanne keeps a greenhouse and turtles in the adjacent lot. Be sure to keep your food scraps in another bin that you’re provided with as these will be fed to her turtles. I can’t say enough about this place other than I’m sure we will be back! Joanne, thanks so much - from Tina, Adisa, Aidan and Cristina from Toronto,

Our family of four really enjoyed our stay at the Bamboo Garden! The grounds are lovely and well kept and staying in the house gives you the feel of a traditional Caribbean cottage will all of the modern amenities. The photo's accurately reflect the actual cottage well. Joanne was a very helpful with advice and suggestions regarding what to do / see and potential places to eat while in Antigua, but also let us have our own space. Thank you Joanne for sharing your amazing garden with us and for suggesting the Xtreme Boat tour, it was one of the highlights of the trip! We will definitely return should we visit Antigua again.

As we drove up the driveway we were a bit unsure as it was a bit rough, but once we stepped inside the gates our jaw hit the floor. The entire setup is beyond belief, it is as if you had your own resort just to yourself! I can not say enough about how great the place was. Joanne is always available without being intrusive.

Wonderful stay in Antigua

Bamboo Gardens is an idyllic spot. The large porch looks out on a fantastic garden and pristine swimming pool. (The jasmine was just coming into bloom when we were there and the fragrance was lovely).The rooms are nicely furnished with comfortable beds in each of the two bedrooms. The kitchen is adequately equipped for cooking (and grilling outside) which is good since restaurants in the area are somewhat pricey. Finding the place for the first time was somewhat challenging but when we arrived Joanne had left a pitcher of delicious rum punch and a platter of hummus, crackers and fruit. Joanne was very friendly and very knowledgable about the island. The humming bird feeder on the porch attracts lots of humming and other pretty birds. The local tortoise population provides for an unusual but efficient food scrap disposal.

A little piece of heaven.

Everything that everyone has written about Bamboo Garden is true but even better. We are two older, very active cousins from New England, and we have fallen in love with the house and the island. It really is the perfect place. An oasis of beauty and relaxation. Joanne has created a little piece of heaven. The house is charming, great kitchen, Beds, and the porch is where you will want to spend your time. We felt very safe on the island and drove everywhere. Catherine’s beach restaurant is a must. I can’t think of a more wonderful spot for relaxing or adventure. Zip lining was a hoot.

An oasis of tranquility on a fabulous island

We were two couples, staying in the two bedroom property for a week in February - our second visit to Antigua but our friends' first visit. Bamboo Garden is set back from the main road along a fairly bumpy track (not untypical for the island - don't expect perfectly surfaced roads anywhere and especially on side roads!). We had a rented Jeep for the week so it was no problem to drive, but we also walked to and from the property several times - take a torch if intending to walk in the dark. The property itself is set within large and totally secure gardens which Joanne, the owner, has created over the past few decades and are absolutely stunning. Most of the garden and certainly the house is beautifully shady and therefore relatively cool, but there is always a spot around the pool to sunbathe in. The small pool is lovely and clean. The setting is so tranquil, the night air is filled with only the wonderful sounds of the local tree frogs and other wildlife. The house itself is fabulous - clean, homely, well-equipped and there was a delicious welcome platter, some cold beers and a jug of rum punch in the fridge for our arrival! Both bedrooms had ceiling fans and these were quite adequate to keep the bedrooms cool - likewise the living room. The verandah was a perfect place to eat meals, relax and chat or lie on the hammock with a book. Joanne lives on the first floor and was often available to offer advice about anything we needed. The pet tortoises and Joanne's dogs were charming and the dogs (mostly in the separate self-contained garden) were an extra security reassurance. There are some restaurants/bars within easy walking distance (Papa's by the Sea is fabulous), but the walk into English Harbour where most bars and restaurants are is about a 20-30 minute walk - and that feels further in the heat of the day. A taxi for 4 into EH was ECD $20 each way, so not very expensive. Buses also seem to take you anywhere you want. Joanne was a great hostess, communication was excellent, the property fabulous and the garden just divine. We loved our stay here and thoroughly recommend this holiday accommodation. Thanks for having us, Joanne!

A nice retreat in Falmouth Harbour

Joanne has worked hard to make the house, grounds and pool area very welcoming. This is the first Caribbean island that I visited that air conditioning was not needed to sleep at night. The house is close to the Falmouth Harbour area, which has plenty of restaurant options. There are two local grocery stores that have staples, but I recommend using one of the larger grocery stores on your way in from the airport. Darkwood Beach is the best on the island and an easy drive. Locals are very friendly. There is an ice cream place 5 minutes away.
