IMMORTELLE – TREE HOUSE - GRANDE RIVIERE, TRINIDAD, WI

Immortelle is an octagonal shaped wooden house nestled in

beautiful, majestic tropical trees (Saman, Palms, Pouis, Cocoa,

Mango) built on a 2-acre plot of land situated at the Grande Riviere

river mouth.

Grande Riviere beach is a protected nesting ground for Giant

Leatherback Turtles and the access is restricted, during night hours

(by permit only, permits can be obtained from the Tourist Office

situated near the beach) from March 1st to August 31st .

The house is accessible off Hosang St, a large wooden gate marks

the entrance and the driveway is lined with Palm trees.

The main living area is about 18ft off the ground giving you the feeling

that you are in a tree house. Heavy wooden louver doors open in

accordion to reveal picture frames of green beauty as the house is

nestled in the surrounding trees.

The open space living area including the kitchen and dining room is

spacious and comfortable, allowing one to feel at home among the

birds and the trees tops. The kitchen is fully equipped with all

modern amenities. An outdoor deck attached to the house by a

wooden bridge is great for star gazing, sitting in the sun or just being

at one with nature.

The master bedroom is furnished with a four-poster king size bed in

mahogany wood. An intimate smaller bedroom has one single bed

(additional mattress) and offers another view of the greenery

surrounding the house (banana trees, coconuts, sugarcane and

Pouis). A loft reached by a staircase carved out of the trunk of a

massive Saman tree sleeps comfortably 4 persons.

A bathroom with open shower and toilet tiled with local red clay tiles

and Ajoupa pottery creations complete the first floor.

A walk around balcony contours the whole house (except the kitchen

area).

The downstairs area is a great liming spot for the children; hammocks

can be hung from hooks installed downstairs. The downstairs area

has a store room, a toilet and a second bathroom.

Immortelle is a celebration of the local hard wood of Trinidad and

South America, with intricate fretwork designs carved out of the white

and red Olivier walls; the Saman counter tops in the kitchen the

Cedar cupboards and the Greenheart floors.

Immortelle being built of wood is totally organic and alive, so

and other friendly forest creatures.

the warm, nurturing organic energy of wood in total comfort.
