The Northern Link Road, one of the most spectacular drives in Dominica, winds up through Cold Soufriere Springs from Douglas Bay down to Autrou Daredevil Landing on the northwest coast of the island. The Mango Garden Cottages are set off this road, which begins just north of Portsmouth.
The setting is spectacular, with both Caribbean Sea and mountain vistas. For the fit walkers, the beach and local restaurants at Toukari are a winding, hilly 1.4 miles down. The airport is a 22 mile, 1hr 15-minute drive away. An ideal place from which to explore the north and northeast of the island.
20 years ago, Sylvia was on a holiday in Dominica from Switzerland when she met Eddison, her local guide, which led to the birth of the three-unit Mango Cottages. If you are looking for a local experience in pristine accommodation with spectacular sea and mountain views, set in the midst of fruit trees, herb and vegetable gardens, then you need look no further.
The Jungle View Studio, Ocean View Studio and Little Villa are all on a self-catering basis but breakfast and home cooked evening meals can be provided.
A stay at the Mango Garden Cottages is a delightful local experience, a garden paradise created by two people who love their island and want their guests to experience it through their eyes.
