Tobago is the
smallest island of the Republic of Trinidad & Tobago. Approximately
300sq kms with a population of 50,000, and one of the most southerly
and un spoilt places in the Caribbean. It's charming and friendly
inhabitants contribute to a safe and relaxing atmosphere for the
whole family.
The tropical climate sees temperatures fluctuating
between 22 C / 71 F at night, to 32 C / 89 F during the day. A
usual gentle breeze helps
provide a hot yet pleasant climate for most of the year round.
Having
been colonised by the Carib Indians, the French, Spanish,
Dutch & the British, Tobago is steeped in history and has provided
the inspiration for many novelists & artists. Robinson Crusoe
and Swiss Family Robinson both have their roots in this tropical
paradise.
The centre of island plays host to a large and mountainous rain
forest, rich in rare species of birds and wildlife; while the coast
is surrounded by two major coral reefs.
The spectacular Buccoo Reef at the southern tip of the island is
easily accessible from the world famous beach at Pigeon Point.
From it's location on the road to Buccoo Bay, the Fourteenth Green
is a short eight minute walk to

the beach. It
is an easy 15 minute drive to Tobago's capital, Scarborough and only
a similar distance to the beach at
Pigeon Point.
A well stocked general store / grocer is located en route to
the property as well as many other stores ideal for other needs,
such as photographic
shops and local souvenir stalls.
Several hotels and restaurants are
also within easy reach and cater for all your dining needs. All
provide very favourably priced meals,
encompassing casual all day eating, more formal evening dining
and even early morning breakfast pancakes.
The Mount Irvine Golf Club
clubhouse is a 2 - 3 minute drive away and it's eighteen hole championship
golf course, set in an old coconut plantation, is open at reasonable
prices
to non-members as is the new Hilton Golf Course on the Atlantic
Coast which enjoys a world class championship reputation.
Crown Point Airport is also within an easy 15
- 20 minute drive, which is perfect for ease of arrival and departure;
despite the
quick journey
time there is no aeroplane noise at the property.
