Description
Set high in the green hills of Tobago, Windy Edge is the place to relax in comfort, unwind, and enjoy the laid-back pace of Caribbean life. It is a secluded family house in a wonderful location with panoramic views over both the Caribbean and the Atlantic. The Japanese influence apparent in its design helps to provide a calm peaceful atmosphere.
Lobster claw plant Iguana Windy EdgeThe garden is cultivated round the house and pool, and left as forest lower down the hill making a small wildlife sanctuary. As well as an abundance of different birds and butterflies, in the forest there are iguanas, salamanders, lizards and squirrels, and one of our guests even saw a capuchin monkey. At night the frogs and cicadas call to each other creating a wonderfully exotic ambience.
Windy EdgeThe present house was built in the 1960’s on the old Concordia cocoa estate, by a former US ambassador to Japan who retired to Tobago after many years in the Far East. The old plantation house must have been built here in the late 18th or early 19th century from the evidence of bits and pieces of china and pottery we have dug up in the garden which have been dated in the UK as 1800 -1850.
Windy Edge is on one level with a wide veranda running all around it, and being set on the top of a hill, not only does it catch the cooling breezes, but the views from here are spectacular, definitely some of the best on the island. The garden is full of mature trees: flame trees, palms, lime and grapefruit, also exotic fruit such as papaya, bananas and pineapples.
Windy Edge is a comfortable family house in extensive grounds, not a custom-built luxury villa in a holiday complex, and we offer people a unique opportunity to experience life in Tobago as visitors rather than tourists. Many of our guests have been back for return visits; once the relaxed way of life in Tobago, and at Windy Edge in particular gets into your system it is hard to get it out !
Although secluded, Windy Edge is not isolated, distances are all short on Tobago, 20 minutes to the airport, 10 to Scarborough, 10 to the nearest beach, 5 to the nearest store. Car hire can be arranged here in England, and guests are met at the airport and escorted to the house. There the fridges will be stocked with whatever food and drinks you want, and the dinner you have ordered will await you. |
