Nature Lovers Retreat on Beautiful East

We loved staying at Rabbit Hill, the property is a little dated but we found it well equipped and comfortable, with lots of space for our young family to explore. The pool was perfect as were the beautiful expansive grounds. We were close to some great attractions as well as only 30-40 minute drive from the swanky west coast beaches. We enjoyed our time on the west coast but loved coming back to the east coast to get away from it all at the end of the day. Agnes was a great property manager as was the host Tom, both were very communicative and instructions were clear. Winston the gardener was there most days and cut down some coconuts to get us a jug of refreshing coconut water, he was happy to have a chat and talk to us about the island. We really loved our stay, our children loved the nature and we loved the peace and quiet, a wonderful home from home

We absolutely loved our stay at Rabbit Hill. The property is even more beautiful than the pictures portray. The house is very comfortable - the front porch is amazing! We received a courtesy call from the owner a couple of weeks before we arrived, and he imparted some very useful advise. The staff is wonderful and went out of the way to make us comfortable. We enjoyed watching the monkey troupe most mornings and every late afternoon... they would feed from the fruit trees while the little ones played on the lawn and in the trees. Floating in the pool, dozing in the hammocks, early morning coffee and late afternoon cocktails in the lookout, and as another guest said, toodling around the southeast corner of Barbados. So many wonderful people to meet and beautiful sights to see. Hiking to the Atlantis for lunch along the shore and having Winston drive us to the Oistens Fish Fry were two definite highlights. Our only regret is that we could only stay for a week. We will not make that mistake next time!

Rabbit Hill was amazing, Just as described, it was an idyllic retreat in a natural, beautiful garden. We stayed for two weeks and hired a car from Scotty’s for 3 days during our stay. They were great. WIth the car we visited St Nicholas Abbey and rum distillery, the WIldlife Reserve and Gun Hill Signal Station, east coast beaches, Bridgetown including the Barbados Museum, Oistins for a fish lunch, Hastings for a great wine shop, Speightstown for the beach and lunch, Holetown for the best supermarket (Masseys) and Harrison's Cave. We got the bus half way to Bathsheba and walked the rest, stopping at Andromeda Botanic Gardens on the way. In Bathsheba we visited Dina’s bar for lunch, Uncle Joe’s for an afternoon fish cutter sandwich, De Garage bar, Zemi Café for a drink and we got a taxi to the Atlantis Hotel restaurant for a wonderful birthday dinner. We also had a couple of visits to the Old Brigand Rum Shop bar near Martins Bay where we were made to feel like locals, enjoying local cooking, rum and world cup football on the big screen with the local customers. The house was amazing, feeling like a home from home and we were well looked after by the staff (Agnes, Sandra, Winston and Anderson). Winston the gardener caught up with us every day but was not intrusive at all. He picked fruit and kept us topped up with coconut water as well as helping us with advice on buses and where to visit. We spent many an evening on the veranda with restful jazz and cocktails. The pool was immaculately clean and bigger than it looks in the photos. You really have to be there to appreciate the true beauty and size of the garden. Having a stroll around the garden and exploring all the nooks and crannies was part of the beauty of the place. It was amazing waking up and laying in bed looking out over the Atlantic Ocean with green monkeys climbing over the balcony and a nice cool air conditioned room to chill out in. The green monkeys are fascinating to watch but need to be discouraged from the house but they were no problem at all as they are very wary of humans and will run off if they see you. Things we would do differently next time: be better prepared for the mosquitos and other biting insects (apparently it was a particularly bad year for those this year - Nov- Dec 2022), get our main shopping from Massey’s at Holetown (it’s further than Six Cross Road and it’s an international supermarket rather than a local one but the range, prices and experience was much bett

My wife and I recently returned from our visit to our own private "Garden of Eden." Andre, the owner, was extremely easy to deal with. He quickly responded to our questions, got things taken care of smoothly, and left a very accurate renters guide which was extremely helpful. The staff on the property were excellent. Agnes greeted us as we arrived and explained everything to us, and called during the week to make sure everything was OK. Winston, the gardener picked fresh fruits for us to eat and gave us a nice tour pf the property.The property - magnificent. Your own paradise to enjoy. The beauty is beyond! With the constant roar of the ocean in the background. Total privacy. The pool is deceptively large...much bigger than the pictures would suggest. Very cleverly designed...lots of space on the deep end to swim laps...yet lots of shallow space for little ones. The outdoor deck is enormous, and is the basic primary living space when not going to sleep. Although we had privacy, yet you did not feel isolated, as the city bus passed by in the area, and you are not more than 40 minutes from anywhere on the island. Very good grocery shopping only 20 minutes away. We were a short drive from Bath beach for swimming and Bathsheba beach for long walks along the ocean. Lots of other great places to visit - all not very far away.Renting a car is a must...just need to get used to driving on the left side of the road...some of which are very narrow. Alternately, you can use Taxis to get around as well.Could not have asked for a better place to unwind from the stress of hectic city life at home. 2 thumbs up to Rabbit Hill!
