The accommodation is situated in St David which is a rural parish with no town. Once the parish of nutmeg and spices. It is quiet and peaceful, with lots of places to hike, villages to explore and 12 natural and undeveloped beaches. The space Rural Retreat St David is a rural area, the third largest parish in Grenada and is without a town. Hampstead is the name and was one of the many estates in the parish growing nutmeg and other spices. Hurricane Ivan just over 10 years ago destroyed the nutmeg which was the main source of income for most of the residents. On my little piece of Hampstead I have replanted many of the lost nutmeg, papaya and other fruit trees and vegetable. The area is very quiet, peaceful and cool (no air conditioning needed). The reason for the quietness is that I live at the foot of a mountain. You will be able to hear the monkeys in the early morning around 5.30am teasing the neighbour’s dogs, something they seem to enjoy doing. The monkeys make their way down from Grand Etang mountain where they live. The surrounding area is ideal for hiking, photography or just sitting around and enjoying the green trees and listening to the birds. There are around 12 villages to explore many close to Hampstead, such as Apres Tout, Dudmar, Content and Pomme Rose, There are as many beaches the majority are accessible by car or on foot. I live 10 minutes away by car from La Sagesse Beach, 30 minutes from St George (the capital) and 30 minutes from Grenville, the next largest town. You will be able to walk around my garden (land) and help yourself to papaya (pawpaw) for your breakfast or banana that is hanging up to ripe or pick a coconut from the tree and have a cool glass of coconut water. St David is a beautiful parish. There is no nightlife, no nightclubs. There a local bars where you will meet the locals and have a drink or something to eat and lots of chat. It is by far Grenada loveliest parish to explore and feel like Robinson Crusoe. Guest access The house is on two floors and the visitor will be on the ground floor.
