Over deze accommodatie

Een plek voor jezelf

Je hebt de gehele woning helemaal voor jezelf en hoeft dus alleen met je reisgezelschap te delen.

Plantation House, met prachtig panoramisch uitzicht op de oceaan, 4x4 te huur.

La Plantation des Manguiers (mangoplantage) dateert al meer dan 100 jaar. Het heeft alle kenmerken van een huis dat is gebouwd om het klimaat in de voorbije jaren te benutten vóór airconditioning. De ramen hebben grote zware luiken en er is geen glas, waardoor de zwoele passaatwinden door het huis kunnen stromen. De beschutte omslag rond de veranda blijft koel van 's morgens vroeg tot' s avonds laat en beschermt het interieur tegen de hitte van de dag. Vanaf deze slaperige veranda kunt u ontspannen terwijl u de wereld in de verte ziet voorbijgaan. Het indrukwekkende uitzicht verandert voortdurend, met zeilboten, kleine vliegtuigen, cruiseschepen, de veranderende kleuren van de zee en de lucht bieden allemaal entertainment. Op een heldere dag is Martinique te zien, soms zo duidelijk dat je het gevoel hebt dat je daar kunt zwemmen! Het interieur van het huis is elegant ingericht en gemeubileerd in de stijl van de 'plantage' waar mogelijk en is comfortabel en uitnodigend terwijl het toch alle moderne gemakken biedt om een ontspannen verblijf te garanderen.


De villa is eigendom van chef Jacques en zijn vrouw Cathy. Ze bezitten ook het Jacques Waterfront Dining Restaurant, dat onlangs is verhuisd naar Rodney Bay aan de Waterfront bij de ingang van de jachthaven en is elke dag open lunch en diner en op zondag brunch.

Trouwrecepties, verjaardagsfeestjes; in feite kan elk feest worden geregeld bij Jacques of worden verzorgd aan de villa. Er is een privéterras aan het water in het restaurant voor grotere groepen, kortingen voor villagasten zijn van toepassing, neem contact op met Cathy.

Vervoer: La Plantation des Manguiers ligt dicht bij Castries, de bussen rijden regelmatig. Vanuit Castries is het mogelijk om bussen te nemen naar waar je maar wilt, maar wees voorbereid op luide muziek en een beetje platgedrukt! De bussen gebruiken over het algemeen ook geen airconditioning, dus het is warm maar luchtig met de ramen open. Houd er ook rekening mee dat de wandeling van en naar het huis is voor degenen die bovengemiddeld fit zijn, vooral in de hitte.

We wonen halverwege een eenrichtingsweg met een bushalte bovenaan en onderaan. De wandeling naar de bushalte vanuit het huis is helemaal heuvelafwaarts. Terugkomend op de villa is het mogelijk om uit de bus op de top van de heuvel te stappen en de weg naar de oprijlaan naar de villa te lopen, maar de oprit is behoorlijk steil en zou een uitdaging zijn voor degenen die niet op een regelmatige basis vooral in de hitte. In dit geval zou ik aanraden een auto te huren. NB. Neem contact op met Cathy voor meer informatie over speciale autoverhuuraanbiedingen.

Luchthaveninformatie: La Plantation des Manguiers ligt op 21 mijl of 1 uur en 20 minuten rijden van de internationale luchthaven Hewanorra, die in Vieux Fort in het zuiden van het eiland ligt. Er zijn helikoptertransfers beschikbaar tussen Hewanorra en de luchthaven George FL Charles in Castries, op slechts 10-15 minuten rijden van de villa. George FL Charles heeft ook vluchten vanuit andere Caribische eilanden en vluchten die via Peurto Rico vanuit de VS verbinden. Luchthaventransfers worden voorgesteld en kunnen worden geregeld, neem contact op met Cathy.

This place has a beautiful view of the harbour and the sea. It is surrounded by lush tropical trees, fruit trees, and flowers.The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the experience of living in an old plantation house without air conditioning. It felt almost like living in a museum.We quickly got into the rhythm of opening the windows and doors for the day and enjoying the Caribbean breeze.We are not dog lovers, but they gave us our personal space. And arriving home at the end of a long day they became our welcoming committee. We are thankful for the tip of renting a 4 x 4. You definitely need one to get up the hill.Cathy is a very gracious and helpful host. She was very informative and was available for any questions.

My family and I travel every other year around the Christmas holiday and this year we chose St. Lucia. We like staying in the midst of every day life and typically rent a home. This original plantation home was just what we were looking for; privacy, comfort and the most beautiful view of Castries and the surrounding area were highlights of our stay. The owner's two dogs greeted us upon our return home each evening, making us feel at home. We cooked many meals in the well stocked kitchen and on the outdoor grill. We sat on the large wrap around porch in the evenings and ate our meals on it as well. We made sure we rented an all wheel drive car to navigate the dirt road to the home and to get around the island on our own. I highly recommend this property if you want to create your own adventure.

This was our second stay at Mango Plantation, and it certainly won't be our last. As soon as we arrived, we felt like we were returning home. Reggie and Ella greeted us as we drove up, and hung out with us each day. They are completely unobtrusive, and wonderful company. There is nothing Cathy & Jacques haven't thought of to make the house a home. From reading, relaxing, and having brunch and happy hour each day on the veranda, to having coffee at daybreak on the lounge chairs in the yard as the bats come home, our stay was once again magical. An added bonus was an exquisite dinner at Jacques Waterfront Dining. The food and service were outstanding - a five-star experience. Vigie Beach is a short drive from the house and is beautiful. The city of Castries delighted us once again with its friendly people and delicious food. We loved visiting the market every few days to get fresh veggies and fruits, and preparing our meals in the well-stocked kitchen. The island, particularly this property, is an amazing, gorgeous getaway. Don't miss this slice of Heaven!

Our second time in St Lucia, this time with kids. We had a great time at Kathy's place. The house is beautiful and so much better that the pictures. Caribean farm house with beautiful touches. It has all amenities you need. Very nice view to the ocean and close to beaches. Kathy was very easy to intract and communicate and we had no issues communicating with her. We went to viggie beach, naked fisherman beach, Reduit beach, zipline in rainforest.... and enjoyed all. One general thing to know when you go to St lucia is the roads are very steep, hilly, and narrow, so if you deicide to rent a car and drive be prepared. Right side driving wont be an issue as you will get used to it. We all loved St lucia and will back again.

The historic Mango Plantation is a beautiful, picturesque house on a hillside. It has a great view overlooking the bustling City of Castries and its Port. We were there over New Years and watched the fireworks from the veranda and could hear the city enjoying themselves. The house was clean, well equipped, and comfortable. The dogs were very gracious hosts welcoming us returning from our explorations. The lot was secluded and private though would recommend a 4x4 or AWD to drive the short distance from the road to the house. The owner, Cathy, was extremely helpful with recommendations and we enjoyed dinner at her restaurant Jaques. Any drive from Castries North could take longer than anticipated due to traffic depending on the time of day. The local cuisine on the Island was excellent. Cathy’s recommendations of The Naked Fisherman and Anse Chastant (Soufriere) stood out (reservations are recommended). St. Lucia is a wonderful island.

The Mango Plantation will forever be remembered as a heaven on earth experience! The location and the property grounds are beautiful. The house is rustic but so comfortable and had everything we needed to just stay put and enjoy living right where we were! The master bedroom was comfortable and so lovely to wake up just before sunrise in. The kitchen was well-stocked and a delight to cook in, and the veranda… well, let’s just say that we spent almost every waking minute enjoying the view, the breeze, the birds, and the lizards. Reggie and Ella were wonderful companions for our afternoon happy hours and were always a joy to see coming (this is coming from people who are not really dog people). We were so grateful for them sharing their time with us. We loved the sounds of the city of Castries below. Castries was actually quite delightful; bustling with the friendliest people. Our only regret was that we did not get a chance to meet Cathy in person as she was away for family during our stay but she kept in constant touch through WhatsApp for every question we had during and prior to our stay. When we arrived, we were expecting to have a once in a lifetime experience and by the time we left, we were making plans for our "next stay". For anyone who wants THE IDEAL, real vacation getaway from the sanitized and corporate "resort" vacation, I highly recommend staying at the Mango Plantation. It will give you the quintessential 5 star experience!

This historic house is beautifully maintained and a pleasant fit for our group of four adults and six teens. It is close to everything and the view is gorgeous. Cathy is amazing to communicate with, and there are two wonderful host dogs to make you feel at home. It safe and cozy, with an alarm and electric gate. No air conditioning, but you won't miss it. You will need a rental car and a 4 wheel drive is strongly encouraged as the road up to the house is in rough shape. We would definitely stay here again on our next visit.

If you would like to stay close to Castries and the north of St. Lucia while enjoying a lot of privacy, this is the place to book. Communication with the owner Cathy was easy and you get all the required information for a smooth check in. The view from the house is breath taking. The house itself is very spacious and well equipped, including the kitchen. It is recommended to rent a 4x4 car (small SUV) as the road to the house is quite bumpy (but not an issue to drive there, it is only for a short distance). Reggie and Ella, the two lovely dogs, enjoy good company and will „ask“ you to play with them (hint: there are some toys next to the main door). Overall a very nice place that I would recommend to my friends.

Cathy was amazing from the moment we booked and throughout the stay, really prompt in replying and couldn’t have been more helpful. The house is beautiful and felt home from home, very comfortable and everything there that you needed. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils and equipment. We loved having Reggie and Ella visit us every evening, keeping us company on the veranda. It is really well situated for all the island has to offer, beaches, snorkelling, zip lining, hiking, swimming, local markets (great for fresh fruit and veg), bakery at the bottom of the hill. We loved sitting in the garden watching the birds, lizards and hummingbirds. An absolutely amazing place to stay with lovely hosts.

The enticing photos do not do justice to the full beauty of this place. The ever changing view from the veranda is indeed stunning but the house is not overlooked and the gardens surprising secluded, and dare I say we have no tan lines! The description mentions no window glass, the climate never needs it, and the owners have gone to a great deal of trouble to make the whole residence one of the most secure I have stayed in the Caribbean. We both needed a relaxing break and boy did this deliver. You will find everything you might want in this terrific plantation house. The shelves are well stocked with novels, films and board games and all the kitchen equipment is at hand for a grand cook-out or barbecue. We were both pretty exhausted after days discovering beaches, waterfalls, smelly volcano and mud baths and swinging from forest tree to forest tree to explore the thousands of tv channels. We especially liked watching the bustle of Castries and port far below whilst eating our dinner out on the veranda at dusk and watching the stars slowly appear. But the best bit was the welcoming greeting we got from the owners’ dogs Reggie and Elsa every time we returned from a trip. They were the greatest entertainment and treat and we miss them so much I think we’ll have to go back soon... Sadly we never made it to Jaques restaurant but other must-do places are the Pink Plantation for lunch, coconut bread and coconut turnovers from the Morne Bakery, cocktails at Agnes Bar just before the entrance to Pigeon Island National Park, sunset dinner at Hotel Chocolat (remortgage required) and great wholesome dishes at Mama Tilley’s in Laborie near Hewannorra Airport for when you arrive and leave (~EC$25 each) and a 4x4 to do it all (though not straight after Agnes Bar).

I must say that this is truly the most unique place I have ever stayed! BEAUTIFUL REAL DEAL Caribbean cottage with a spectacular view overlooking Casteries and the Caribbean Ocean. SO AWESOME! Now if fancy swanky resort living is your preference, then you might not be as carried away by Ms. Cathy's beautiful home as we were but if you want to truly unique experience that is true Caribbean then I think you would love it. The house will make you feel like you're in a romantic movie. LOL. Ms. Cathy was absolutely awesome in every aspect also. Great suggestions on how and what to do while in St Lucia. The only drawback at all, which has nothing to do with the house, property or Ms. Cathy at all, would be the city of Casteries. It can feel a little sketchy in areas and at times, but we always felt extremely safe and comfortable at home. Thank you Ms. Cathy for a wonderful stay!!!!

We enjoyed staying at Mango plantation! Every morning we would sit on the veranda and enjoy the beautiful view and feel the nice breeze. The villa is surrounded by fruit trees- we picked coconuts and sour oranges for juice, there are mango and banana trees also but not ready to be picked when we were there. Cathy was very nice and accommodating, whatever we needed she arranged for us. She was a great host! We had all the privacy we needed, we would walk to Castries, Vigie beach and La Toc beach- it is quite a good workout since the area has fairly steep hills but we enjoyed it (most people either arrange a taxi driver or rent a car, there is also a bus transportation available). The nights are usually warm, we definitely took advantage of the fans provided. Also keep in mind you are surrounded by nature (you can hear cicadas at night, you will be visited by small birds, geckos and ants if you leave food lying around). Definitely pack a mosquito repellent is was helpful to have one. If you are interested in an authentic island experience you won’t be disappointed! We loved the villa and the garden and the view and Cathy is a great resource when it comes to exploring the island and will quickly help arrange whatever you need! Thank you Cathy for all you did for us!

We really loved "This Old House". It had so much character; a very classy act for sure! The house was well equipped and comfortable. Cathy was so helpful in so many ways especially giving us directions, as St. Lucia is a little lacking in signage. We got lost a few times, but the locals were always willing to help us out and get us back in the right direction! Vigie Beach was the best beach (on the other side of the small airport in Castries) We really enjoyed the tram ride through the Rain Forest, the volcano, botanical gardens and water fall in Soufriere.

My husband and I had the pleasure to spend a few days at this beautiful property to celebrate our 30th anniversary. The hosts were really nice and we also enjoy a beautiful lunch on our special day at their restaurant at Rodney Bay. We took a water taxi to get there. Strongly recommend renting an SUV because the access to the house is very steep. Cathy (the owner) mention that to us ahead of time and we also read the comments from previous guests.

Wonderful house in an unforgettable location. Living in this old St Lucian house was, for four weeks, an experience we will never forget. It’s historical character was both quirky and above all comfortable providing a real feel of the Caribbean, which is so sadly lacking in modern day apartments and hotels. The view from the veranda overlooking Castries and the sea beyond, was both amazing and unforgettable. The house was very well equipped for everyday living complete with barbecue and fresh oranges from the garden...what more could one want! Cathy and Jacques were the perfect hosts who could not do enough for us. We had two fantastic meals at their water front restaurant... highly recommended. The boy can cook!! Other local restaurants, the Pink Plantation and the Coalpot, are also very much worth a visit. As the house is located off the beaten track a 4x4 /SUV vehicle is a must. Although we hired our own through Islander cars (who were excellent) Cathy was very helpful in providing us with information on local car hire companies. Overall the holiday was first class and highly recommended.

We chose Mango Plantation for our recent stay in St Lucia. Its a lovely, authentic old plantation house, and was perfect for our needs. The house offered all we needed for our stay, and the garden and surroundings were perfect for relaxing and enjoying the sunshine (and humming birds). As others have mentioned, access to the house is not straight forward, the roads are quite challenging, and a 4x4 is strongly recommended, although we just about managed with the normal car that the hire company delivered. The trip to Soufrieres is well worth making, and Pigeon Island was also good. Castries itself is a little disappointing, but the market offers fresh fruit and veg, and there is a supermarket next to the market for other provisions. Cathy is a good host, and made sure that our arrival went smoothly, and was on hand for advice and help on what to see and do. She also kindly gave us a guided tour of the local surroundings, which was a massive help for us finding our way around.

My husband and I stayed two weeks at the Castries Plantation House. The house is charming and the views are stunning. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen had everything since the owner is a chef on the island. While we were there, the mangos were ripe and I would go out every morning to collect our delicious bounty. We had more mangos than we could eat by the time we left. There was a dog, Maya, whom we loved. We are cat people in the states but Maya provided an extra layer of enjoyment during our stay. I hope she misses us because we miss her. Cathy was great and suggested some interesting things for us to do besides diving. They do own a restaurant, so they know all of the nice places to eat and visit. We visited her restaurant about 3 times and each time was better than the last. All in all, it was nice having a friendly contact on the island. The house is close to the town of Castries, and we were close to outdoor vegetable and fruit and fish markets which were fun and colorful. Driving on the island was wild but my husband managed it heroically. We have rebooked for next year. We could not get anyone to come and a meet us on our vacation this year but I'm afraid we will have too many people and family wanting to visit us next summer. Counting the days!

This house is an exceptional holiday experience. Authentic, a brilliant view over Castries and on a bright day/night you even can see Martinique at the horizont. The house is very spacious! We stayed 8 night with our grown up kids and they loved having their own bedrooms and bathroom on the first floor. The terrace invites you for cozy evenings with a nice glas of wine. For the fact the house is located in the middle of nature it is clear that you have to expect some little animals like cocroaches. However we didn't have a problem with it and we were gifted falling asleep with the sound of singing birds at night. Besides the beautiful house the hosts Cathy and Jacques were of great help and made us feel at home from the first moment. Cathy even picked us up at the airport and went with us to the next supermarket. One important notice: you definitely need a SUV rental car to get to the location. The road to the house is in bad condition and steep. The good thing is as soon as you get familiar with the road conditions you can easily get to all hotspots on the island because the house is quite centrally located. In sum it is a 100% recommendation for those who want to make their stay at St Lucia an extraordinary, individual and special experience.
