Cocoa Cottage

Dominica


This serene charmer has six cottages dotted around verdant grounds complete with organic garden. Made from local wood, lava stone, bamboo and other natural materials, each cottage reflects the artistic vision and gentle spirit of Iris, the owner. Less of a guesthouse and more of a commune setup, this is an ideal place to reconnect with nature.
