Description from owner

Description

The Waterlily House, completed in 2015 using a combination of concrete and beautiful reclaimed hardwood, is located on the 60 acre historic Balenbouche plantation guesthouse and nature heritage site. The elevated 900 sq foot building is shaped like an octagon and feels both elegant and artsy, a bit like a tree house, overlooking a lush valley of coconut, cocoa and breadfruit trees. The aqueduct which once powered the nearby sugar mill is filled with waterlilies, and two beaches are just a short walk away. The high ceilings, shape of the building and design of the roof allow for excellent ventilation. The bedroom and veranda have hardwood floors, the kitchen is equipped with a full sized fridge, toaster, gas cook top, and hot water kettle. Waterlily is particularly popular with honeymooners and couples, but not suitable for children under 6 years.

Getting around

The best way to explore the island is with a rental car, which we can help arrange. A combination of taxis and buses is also possible. The town of Soufriere with the famous Pitons and many attractions is only a 30 minute drive away, the town of Vieux Fort with shopping and banking facilities and a beautiful white sand beach is a 20 minute bus or car ride. The affordable local mini buses do not have a schedule and stop anywhere along the route.

Interaction with guest

Our family lives on property and manages the Balenbouche guesthouse and cottage rentals. Other travelers occasionally come to visit the estate on guided tours. We are known for our authentic, peaceful atmosphere and as a retreat venue for yoga and meditation. Breakfast at the main Plantation house is available for US$ 12 per person, and dinner by reservation 2-4 times a week. We are happy to help you plan your vacation and get the most out of your stay at Balenbouche Estate.
