Jacranda House is set facing northwest above its own magnificient 30 foot swimming pool with a vanishing edge overlooking the sparkling Caribbean Sea, a stonework pool deck and lawn area. The house is surrounded by tropical plants and trees to create shade and to provide an abundance of mouth watering fruit.
Jacaranda House stands on a ridge of the old Grafton Estate adjoining a bird sanctuary with magnificient views of the Caribbean Sea and above two of the best known beaches in Tobago. The house is newly built, designed by one of Trinidad's leading architects who has incorporated West Indian features and classical lines into a modern design.
It has, as a major feature, folding louvre doors on three sides which are made of beautiful local hardwoods, controlling the amount of light and air that flows through. The result is a very airy and spacious house with high ceilings, cool floor tiles and prevailing breezes sweeping through.
You can prepare a barbecue in the garden and eat by the pool under the bougainvillea covered shelter.
Tobago is the smaller island of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, lying just south of Barbados and almost within sight of the coast of Venezuela. The island is about 27 miles long by 9 miles at its widest.
The southern end of the island is flat, then rises to nearly 2,000 feet to the rain forest, the oldest national park in the world, which was recognized by the British Parliament at the end of the 18th century. The nicest beaches are on the Caribbean side, sandy, sheltered from trade winds and appear deserted even at the island's busiest. Tobago is also very popular for Caribbean weddings, Jacaranda House having been the base for more than one.
The climate is beautifully tropical and usually gentle breezes blow with temperatures fluctuating between the high 70s and the high 80s (25° to 32° C).
This gives a wonderful hot but pleasant climate most of the year around. Even in the height of the "Season" (December to April), Tobago is never crowded and the beaches empty and spacious. While from September to November, more frequent rain storms occur, they usually only last 2/3 days and are followed by sunny days and occasional showers again.
These days airlines do keep changing their schedules quite frequently, both where they fly and how they get there, so the following is always subject to change.
British Airways flies from Gatewick to Tobago on Saturdays and Wednesdays, and some times of the year, there is a third flight. Flights sometimes go via Antigua. Flights are out to Tobago during the day and return overnight.
Monarch, a charter company, also flies from Gatwick on a round trip to Grenada and Tobago before returning to Gatwick. Monarch only sells tickets through tour operators and "Consolidators" ('bucket shops' to you and me).
Condor and LaudaAir fly from Frankfurt and Vienna respectively during some parts of the year.
BWIA, known affectionately as 'Bee Wee', flies regularly into Port of Spain, Trinidad from London Heathrow, Manchester, Miami, New York and Toronto. From there, it is only a 20 minute flight to Tobago, either with Bee Wee or the local hopper company.
You can also fly into Barbados with numberous airlines and then catch a local Liat flight to Tobago. |
