SIZO Cottage/ open-air tropical escape

Sizo Cottage | Open-Air Tropical Escape

About this space

Welcome to Sizo Cottage, a unique two-bedroom open tropical cottage where indoor and outdoor living come together in the heart of Dominica’s lush natural landscape.

Built with warm natural wood and surrounded by tropical gardens, Sizo has a relaxed, authentic Caribbean character. Its open-air living and kitchen areas allow you to enjoy the fresh breeze, greenery and sounds of nature throughout the day.

Wake up surrounded by tropical beauty, enjoy breakfast overlooking the landscape, relax in the hammock, or unwind beneath the outdoor shower after a day of exploring the island.

With two comfortable bedrooms, Wi-Fi, hot water, ceiling fans and ceiling nets, Sizo combines the simplicity of close-to-nature living with the comforts you need for a memorable stay.

The space

Sizo Cottage is not a conventional enclosed holiday home — and that is part of its charm.

The cottage has an open, airy design that connects you with its tropical surroundings. Natural wood, colourful Caribbean touches and handcrafted details give the cottage warmth and personality.

There are two bedrooms, making Sizo a lovely choice for couples, friends or a small family travelling together.

The open kitchen and living areas provide plenty of space to cook, dine and relax while enjoying the surrounding greenery and fresh tropical air.

One of Sizo’s special features is its outdoor shower, allowing you to shower surrounded by nature. An indoor shower with hot water is also available.

For your comfort, the cottage also offers:

* 2 bedrooms
* Wi-Fi
* Hot water
* Ceiling fans
* Ceiling nets
* Indoor shower
* Outdoor shower
* Open-air kitchen and living areas
* Hammock and relaxing outdoor spaces
* Beautiful tropical surroundings

Guest access

Guests have access to Sizo Cottage and its guest areas, including the bedrooms, kitchen, living and dining spaces, bathroom facilities and outdoor relaxation areas.

Settle in, prepare your own meals, enjoy the hammock and make yourself at home in this peaceful tropical setting.

Location

Sizo Cottage places you close to the natural beauty for which Dominica is famous.

Surrounded by abundant tropical vegetation, the cottage offers a peaceful setting for guests who want to experience the island beyond a traditional hotel or resort.

Spend your days discovering Dominica’s waterfalls, rainforest, rivers, hot springs and hiking adventures, then return to Sizo to relax and enjoy the tranquillity of your surroundings.

It is an especially lovely choice for travellers who appreciate nature, character and authentic island living.

Things to know

Sizo Cottage offers a true open-air tropical experience. Because parts of the cottage are open to the natural environment, guests should expect the sights and sounds that come with living close to nature, including birds, insects, rainfall and the sounds of the surrounding tropical landscape.

The open design is part of what makes Sizo so distinctive. Guests looking for a completely enclosed, air-conditioned resort-style property should keep this in mind when booking.

Ceiling fans and ceiling nets are provided for added comfort, and Wi-Fi and hot water are available.

Wonderfully lushly set property very convenient to city Roseau on one hand and all of the delights of the Roseau Valley on the other. Setting is excellent, with parking and cottages in a gated area, the valley views from the open-air kitchen and lounge (Sizo cottage) are magnificent, and the host is kind and very helpful with all arrangements. Tolerance for mosquitoes will be required, but the ceiling fans in the place help a lot, and this is true for nearly everywhere in Dominica! Did not bother us overly. Great base to explore all the Roseau Valley area has to offer, and not a bad drive to the southwest (eg Champagne Beach) nor central area with Emerald Pool. Hot sulphur pools are 10 minutes' drive and just the ticket for weary travellers. (Tolerance for challenging road conditions required for anywhere in the Roseau Valley.) Highly recommend.

The cottage looks even better in person than the online pictures show. The view down the valley is very nice. We very much enjoyed breakfast each morning watching the humming birds and an occasional iguana or agouti passing by below the railing. Privacy is very good but the outdoor shower and a corner of one room are in view of the cottage next door. We used the indoor shower. The cottage is open to the outdoors so you will encounter the occasional lizard, bug or bird in the living space and there is no temperature control other than fans. I love my AC but didn't miss it at all. The surrounding ocean moderates the temperature and we actually needed a blanket at night. We slept under the mosquito net but I don't recall seeing a single mosquito all week. The location of the cottage is perfect for visiting many of Dominica's best hikes and attractions. We had a rental car which I would recommend. Finding the cottage at night is nearly impossible because the sign is located above your driving lights. Here is an easy way to find it. After you pass Cocoa Cottage, the road goes left and then back right. After the right hand turn go about 100 yards and you will spot a narrow lane on the right passing through dense vegetation. That is the driveway. There are very few nice restaurants in the area. Ginette, the hostess, is a wonderful person and she can set you up to have a nice dinner delivered some nights. Lacou Melrose House in Roseau is also an excellent option.

Wonderful jungle location

Ginette was wonderful on every step of the process. Once booked she communicated and gave us great advice, including about a rental car. We ran into an issue with a cancelled flight and Ginette came up and brought us down to the cottage. It was better than we imagined, it was in a perfect location in the jungle on the mountain. The flowers around the cottage were spectacular as well as a variety of fruits. The cottage itself is open air and allowed the cool mountain air to blow through and perfect with the ceiling fans. The bed was very comfortable allowing for the perfect night's sleep with the sounds of night lulling us to sleep. The kitchen was fully functional allowing coffee and breakfast and be able to cook a full dinner each night as we watched the sun set over the mountains. Ginette and Fred, the caretaker, took great care of us and checked in daily that all our needs were being met. Though we were there to disconnect, it was great to have Internet access to share pictures with our friends and family. We had a lovely time and thanks to Fred and Ginette!!

Treehouse in the rainforest

Experience nature living in an open air cottage in the rainforest. We enjoyed our time here. But we knew what to expect and it may not be for everyone. The kitchen is small, but adequate and we cooked most dinners here and packed lunches for day hikes. The bed was comfortable and we are grateful for the bug net canopy over the bed. The indoor shower had warm water and water pressure was good.We enjoyed watching a variety of birds feeding on the banana plant flower at one of the openings. Also watching the lizards catch bugs at night. Keep in mind, this is open air. The birds fly right over to the counter begging as soon as you sit down and critters are in the kitchen at night searching. Little droppings are left behind on the counters and seating and it’s a rainforest, so everything seems just a tad moist. There are bugs. We kept our bags zipped closed and under bug nets when not using them.I feel the pictures in the listing were more from the other cottage and looked nicer, but we were satisfied.Location is great. The cottage is very close to Trafalgar Falls, Titou Gorge and the Boiling Lake hike. Ginette was wonderful and connected us with Dr. Birdy for a day of birdwatching as well as helped with other questions. Parking was easy and so was check-in.If you have questions, make sure you just ask Ginette, she is super helpful with everything.

Retreat into Nature

First, understand Dominica- it's NOT the Dominican Republic. This is a nature/natural experience. If you are not a nature lover, if you do not like rugged natural environments, this is probably not your Island. If Dominica sounds like your island, in this cottage you will feel like you're living in a treehouse. Birds will visit you, and probably raid your fruit but all you have to do is listen to host Ginette and you will know exactly how to share (and not share) your goodies with the charming little birds who literally come through the cottage. I love birds so this was a treat for me. Fruit trees all around, lush and tropical surroundings. I mentioned a couple activities I was interested in and Ginette really went into action and set me up with activities that were perfect. Even just as important was that I just wanted to breathe in nature, take in the views and have some quiet alone time, and I had that too. Don't miss a massage. Ginette is a wonderful massage therapist. I normally get massages at home but this is a real treat. Hiking: come equipped. I'm from the US and what the Domincans call an easy hike will probably involve loose gravel stones, creek fording, (and the water will rise quickly in the rain) rock scrambling etc. For what we in the US call an easy hike, there is a walkway along the ocean in town, and it is smoothly paved. Having a cook come in to the cabin and prepare meals was also a great option, and the food was delicious. In just 6 days there I felt healthier and less stressed. It is really therapeutic! Lessons learned: for my next trip I will bring binoculars for staring into the views from the cottage, hiking boots and one of those plastic rain ponchos that lines in a small pouch. Size Cottage did not disappoint!

Ginnette the property manager is incredibly attentive and kind, brought us food and garden items from the property. Very private, incredibly beautiful I can't believe this doesn't cost more - the pictures don't do it justice. Ideal location in Dominica near all the coolest things to do and central.
