Castaways is a newly built (August 2018) hilltop holiday apartment on the unspoilt Caribbean island of Carriacou. The two-level apartment comfortably sleeps two people.
The apartment is in Hermitage, close (half a mile) to Tyrell Bay, but far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet when it gets livelier in the evenings. The hilltop location provides stunning views and welcome breezes to keep you cool.
Whilst the apartment adjoins our home, the design ensures privacy for our guests and you will be undisturbed although we are happy to provide any advice or suggestions if needed.
