Makere Cottage is available once more for short term rental, starting from July 2023. It is nestled on Soldier Hill with gentle breezes and breath taking views over Cane Garden Bay, surrounding islands and the Caribbean Sea. Situated within a tropical garden at the end of a short gated drive with a private 20-foot swimming pool and large sun terrace, Makere Cottage represents the ideal retreat in which to relax and unwind.

The cottage is very spacious and ideal for a couple either travelling alone or with children. However, it is not suitable for toddlers due to the steep drop from the balcony and unfenced swimming pool. The master bedroom has a king-size bed, views over the bay and plenty of closet space. The large living room, which also has plenty of closet space, is very comfortable with a 3 seater sofa bed, armchair, day bed and dining table and is linked to the master bedroom via an adjoining 10-foot wide covered deck. The kitchen has all modern requirements and connects to the large private bathroom. There are a washing machine and tumble dryer in the nearby pump room.

The swimming pool is on the same level as the cottage offering a welcome escape from the Caribbean heat. A sun terrace providing a spacious area for both sunbathing and al fresco dining surrounds the pool. The cottage has been built very much in the ‘Caribbean Style’ with wooden decks, blue shutter windows, white walls and terracotta-tiled floors creating a clean and simple environment. With its positioning up on the hill there is usually a lovely cooling breeze at all times of year.

As you will read in the reviews Makere Cottage was a popular holiday rental villa until Hurricane Irma struck the BVI in September 2017. Following the storm Makere was repaired and refurbished and put into long term rental whilst the island got back on its feet. With the beaches back to their glorious best and the gardens and vegetation fully recovered we decided to put Makere Cottage back into short term rental starting in July 2023.

You will need to hire a 4-wheel drive vehicle on arrival in Tortola. We can provide you with contact details for a local car rental company who will meet you at the airport or ferry terminal and, if arriving after hours, arrange for you to be collected and taken to Makere Cottage where you car will be waiting. We will provide you with directions and a Google Maps Pin with which to find the property.

Makere Cottage is one of two villas on the property. Both are of a similar size and completely private and separate to one another. Makere House is on the upper level with Makere Cottage below. To reach Makere Cottage you park on the upper level entrance drive and then walk down some stairs (approx. 20 steps) to reach the Cottage and swimming pool.

Makere House is occupied by a young Canadian couple who work all day in the Charter Boat industry. They will fully respect your privacy but will be available if you require any local knowledge or in case of an emergency.

Our property manager, Mobbsie, who lives nearby can also provide emergency assistance if you need it and his contact number will be provided.
