One of the few quality places to stay on this part of the island, Rumboat is a tranquil converted hillside home with just four rooms, two of which have sea views. It's run by enthusiastic young owners who run a variety of activities, including chocolate workshops and rum tastings on-site and adventurous nature hikes in the surrounding bush.
