Our hidden gem nestled in the awe-inspiring northern range of Trinidad includes 4 bedrooms in the main house with a honeymoon suite, a 2 B/room apartment & a queen studio. Other than B&B we also cater for and plan weddings & other special events.

We chose to live in the Valley because of our love for nature and the atmosphere it created to raise and grow our family. We designed and built our home to maximize the panoramic view of the stunning green forests and vegetation on the exquisite mountains of the Northern Range.

Our home is also centrally located and in close proximity to all the normal amenities you can want while not in the center of the hustle & bustle of the town or city center. We are located only 20 mins from the country’s capital city Port of Spain and the main towns of Chaguanas and Arima. The shopping Malls Grand Bazaar & Valpark Shopping Plaza are only 10 mins away while you can get a selection of fast food like KFC, Subway, Burger King and Papa John Pizza only 5 mins away. We are also very close to a variety of local street foods like Doubles, gyros, corn soup, roti, fresh baked bread and pastries again only 5 mins away.

I’m an ardent lover of hiking and outdoor sports so being so close to the mountains allows me the opportunity through hiking to visit some of the best local waterfalls, rivers and plunge pools in the area like Maracas Water falls, Habio Falls, Rincon & Angel falls all located in the pristine rain forests. In addition to the scenic surroundings, the serene atmosphere interrupted by the chirping birds, the radiant sunrise and sunset and the full rays of the moonlight coming over the mountain top is very therapeutic.

Our home is very spacious and airy with its high ceiling and beautiful arches giving it the palacial feeling. The view from any location in the house is spectacular and we have taken advantage of the view by designing wrap around patios that optimizes this panoramic view of the mountains. It is the favourite location for entertaining with a BBQ gill located overlooking the fish pond with its’ multicolored Koi’s and gold fishes. As you awake to the chirping of birds and step on to the patio you will experience a sunrise of a lifetime. Here you can enjoy a sumptuous local breakfast, sip your favorite beverage and enjoy the hummingbirds feeding or walk across and look at the Kois in their pond.

On the ground floor we provide a deluxe queen studio and a charming stylish 2 bedroom apartment. No detail is overlooked at this charming and upscale cozy deluxe queen pad located in the luscious hills of the Maracas Valley. Private washroom and the convenience of a mini refrigerator, microwave and kettle to get your morning started right. Enjoy a hot beverage while you savor the sunlight coming over the mountain range and the sweet melodious birds. You can start the day with a quick work out on the on-site mini gym or take a refreshing jog around the secure serene neighborhood.

Kick back and relax in this calm, stylish space made up of two bedrooms, a full kitchen & dining area and conveniently located bathroom. Enjoy the fresh air and ambiance of the mountain view as you awake to the sweet sound of the birds chirping. Have your coffee while you enjoy the multi cultured Kois and gold fish frolicking in their pond with the sound of the water cascading down the fall. At night you can pop a bottle of wine with your dinner and enjoy the moon.
