A beautiful spot surrounded by greenery, perfect for enjoying the many birds and hummingbirds that inhabit the area. The two peaceful stilted villas at the rear of the property give the impression of being in the heart of a national park. The villas are very spacious and well-equipped, although the bathroom could use a good renovation. Ean, the owner, is incredibly friendly and laid-back: you can enjoy homemade ice cream or slices of cake. Mosquito repellent is essential as the mosquitoes are numerous and ferocious (there's a mosquito net over the bed). An incredible number of hummingbirds are attracted to the sugar water feeders: it's very easy to see five of Tobago's hummingbird species up close, including the abundant Ruby Topaz, the Jacobin Hummingbird, the Jamaican Mango, Felicia's Hermit Crabbird, and the Hairy Hermit Crabbird. The other birds are fed when tourists visit the site: the owner rings a bell to let them know that feeding time is served! Surprising but effective! For visitors, the best time to come is at the end of the day when the hummingbirds are in impressive numbers: they are literally everywhere and they perch a bit more than during the day. The location is quite isolated, and the owner offers a supermarket stop for groceries when you take the taxi that works with the accommodation, at a very reasonable rate for Tobago. Essential, even though there are a few small supermarkets nearby with a short walk. Payment is cash only, so be prepared beforehand. For photographers, it's a bit more complicated because there's little room to step back, few opportunities to photograph hummingbirds outside of the feeders, and there are often branches in the line of sight...
