Location

Indaba, Zulu for meeting place, is located just outside the village of Belmont in the south east of Carriacou. Belmont is a thriving local community with shops, bars and a bakery. The larger village of Harvey Vale with its restaurants, supermarkets and yachting community is 2 miles away and the main town of Hillsborough is 5 miles distant. Indaba is accessed from the government maintained road from Belmont to Six Roads by a track which crosses some open pasture land. The grounds are well fenced and the owners have developed a beautiful tropical garden around the house. The nearest beach, Black Bay, is about an 8 - 10 minute walk away along a path. Often deserted, the sand is black and there is a small reef which provides interesting swimming and snorkeling. This is a cool, bug free, secluded, yet easily accessible location.

Setting

Indaba is set in a completely fenced, well developed tropical garden with mature fruit trees and a wide variety of shrubs and plants.

Accommodation

Indaba has been built in two phases. The first part, completed in 1997, was a wooden cottage constructed to exceedingly high standards with a hard wood frame and floor using greenheart and purpleheart, the best of the hardwoods. The design is open plan with a loft at each end of the building. The second part began in 2009 and the owners are still working on the finishing touches. They added a porch to the front and rear of the cottage and an impressive concrete/block extension faced in local stone which has a bathroom, dining room/bedroom with ensuite facilities and pantry.
