Porridge's Place
Porridge's Place is a delightful studio apartment set in the lovely grounds of a private home, with views across lush gardens and hillside to Castara Bay in the distance. The apartment offers comfortable and affordable holiday accommodation in a very friendly environment.
|
More Info:
Porridge’s Place is a small modern studio apartment recently constructed below the upper floor apartment occupied by Derrick Lopez (a.k.a. Porridge) and his partner Jeanell and their two children Shaquille and Derricia.
Porridge is a well known person both in the village of Castara and in Tobago generally. He has a successful car and jeep hire business and also a minibus service for meeting visitors at the airport and for island trips. He is a friendly and warm hearted person who has a very good reputation with tourists for offering a responsive and well organised service that includes excellent introduction to local Caribbean life.
Porridge and Jeanell manage, for other people, three holiday accommodations in Castara and are very experienced in looking after visitors. They have recently extended their home to create a studio apartment that offers a very good standard of accommodation for a modest charge.
Quietly located on the eastern edge of the village the apartment looks across open rural landscape dotted with local homes and has a distant view of the ocean. Castara beach is a 2 minute drive or a 10 minute walk down the hill and the famous Englishman’s Bay is a 5 minute drive or 30 minute walk in the opposite direction.
Castara village is on the western, Caribbean coast and is a 45 minute drive from the airport. It is a small and delightful fishing village, recently reviewed in The Telegraph as the place to visit for an authentic local Caribbean experience. The village is situated on the edge of the rainforest and there is an excellent walk that starts at Porridge’s front door and offers a clearly marked trail through the rainforest.
The two beaches in Castara are generally recognised as one of the prettiest beach locations in Tobago (many would claim it as the best) with very good snorkelling over the coral reef off the Little Beach, and lots of space to relax either in sun or shade, on both the big and little beaches.

Caribbean Travel Tip
Camera Tips
Always keep your film, tape, or computer disks out of the sun. Carry an extra supply of batteries, and be prepared to turn on your camera, camcorder, or laptop to prove to security personnel that the device is real. Always ask for hand inspection of film, which becomes clouded after successive exposures to airport X-ray machines, and keep videotapes and computer disks away from metal detectors.
