MacHaven's is nice, clean and comfortable place a very short walk from the amazing beach. ❤️❤️❤️Ingrid is very sweet. ❤️❤️❤️

very quiet place... Carlon is very friendly and the place is good for enjoying the beach and toco. They have a grocery and a cool bar next door

The place is not exactly as the pictures show it -- it is a basement unit with no windows and is directly under a bar. The kitchen, wifi, and air conditioning were nice to have. The bed mattress was thin and the bathroom was not very clean. Carlon was a nice host. There aren't really places to eat around the area -- you have to buy food up at his store and cook it in the apartment.

Nella and Neville are the most generous, caring and nice hosts I have ever had! Seriously! We had a lovely time and we are so happy to have met them! It is their first review on Airbnb, but the reason is that their guests generally use other websites to book. The room is clean and charming, with a nice view on the backyard. There are a lot of animals to see and hear around the house and Dot and Rio are absolutely adorable! Since Matura is a small village, they offer to cook meals for guests, and it is totally worth it because Nella cooks the best food! Also, Neville loves to talk and has a lot of great stories to tell! They also were very generous as to offer us rides to the towns around when we had to meet our tour guide. Plus, Neville had me help him to pick some mangoes and I was delighted to do so. They even offered to meet us again 2 days after we left so we can go to an event in Port of Spain, wich we did! You definitely need to go in Matura to see the turtles nesting and baby turtles hatching; it is an incredible experience! I only wish we would have had more time to visit the surrounding areas, but we had a very nice stay. Though, I would recommend you rent a car to get around this part of Trinidad easily, since it is not close to a maxi or taxi route. Also, note that they offer a lot of services, as meals, lifts and tours, wich is great, but it can easily become pricy since everything is in US$. I only mention this because we were budget travellers, but I believe that everything was a good value/price. Thanks again to you two! Best wishes. Hope we will meet again!

The treehouse was awesome! It's a wonderful building, inside and out. There is a comfortable living room area and the bedrooms are nice. Accordion doors surround the living-dining areas as well as the bedrooms, opening the house almost completely to the surrounding deck. Opening the house like this feels great for relaxing and enjoying the surrounding plants and birds. Lorraine was accommodating and helpful, as was Tiny, the local caretaker. As a bonus, there are plenty of interesting books and magazines to look at. The only recommendations I have for visitors are to bring a nice sharp knife if you plan on cooking and be prepared for mosquitos. If you taste great to the mosquitos, as I apparently do, bring plenty of repellant and some mosquito coils to burn. The house is open to the outside as the accordion doors are much like shutters with no screens. This isn't a bad thing at all if you're prepared. We also brought and used a mosquito net at night. Luckily, I brought some light rope, for rigging, as there isn't a hook in the master bedroom. The neighborhood and the neighbors were nice. We were at the tree house for Jouvert and ended up dancing and celebrating with the locals. It was a lot of fun and interesting to see how the holiday is celebrated out in the country, although you should definitely see Jouvert in Port of Spain. If you are here for Carnival, be prepared for a DJ truck with loud music. There are a few stores, a bar, and a couple places to buy a meal. We mostly cooked our own food but also enjoyed some local barbecue and some fried chicken. Ask around near the beach and you'll find someone to take you on a hike. Alternatively, come prepared to find waterfalls yourself. I enjoyed walking around the neighborhood and the beach. The water can be a little rough when the tide's coming in but I loved swimming there. A river outlets to the ocean right near the house and provides and nice calm place to swim too. To sum it up, we had 6 guests at the house and no one wanted to leave!

Aboslutely stunning house and location.

Lorraine's treehouse was AMAZING. It was perfect for the four of us who were looking for a relaxing getaway. The house was clean and spacious. The surrounding yard was beautiful. Lorraine was very responsive through the whole process and made sure everything was set for our arrival. Perfect location for a relaxing getaway especially if you are interested in seeing the turtles. You definitely need mosquito repellent but that is to be expected when staying in the rainforest. Highly recommend if you are looking for a spot in Grande Riviere.

The host canceled this reservation 25 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

If beauty, peace & seclusion is what you are looking for, then this is the place!! The beach is a 2-minute walk away. It is worth the drive!!!

The setting, treehouse and host were excellent. The only reasons it's been marked down are: - There was an all night festival so got little sleep (no-one's fault really) - There was only cold water - There is no aircon (but there was through breeze so not really a problem) - The path to the property is narrow, slippery and in poor condition and could do with being repaired/improved before it gets too dangerous (especially in the rain)

The treehouse was the perfect location for our families from Port of Spain and Toronto to have a Christmas getaway together. There was plenty of room for us and with all the doors open you can hear the birds and ocean, and feel the cool breeze all day and night. We were not there during the turtle time, but the quiet beach with swimming in the sea and river was wonderful. The treehouse could use a bit of TLC, with a broken deck, muddy and unstable walk to the house, and a hard to use oven. That said, it was a highlight of our entire trip to Trinidad and Tobago- a unique and special place to be.

This place was absolutely wonderful - Lorraine was a great host and was fast to respond to questions and updates on our arrival, she gave good directions and arranged for the caretaker to meet us late when our flight was delayed. The treehouse itself couldn't have been better - it was clean, spacious, and we felt right at home. I'm looking forward to our next trip down! Perfect neighborhood, perfect setting and a beautiful country. Thank you!

After some inconvenience with the booking via AIRBN I had a good contact and response from and with the host. We had a great welcome from the host representative. During stay some minor problems where fixed promptly. Everything what was listed was available and with 6 adults and 2 children we had a great stay in the house. 4 available bedrooms with air conditioning was good. The little inconvenience was that there was no hat rack in the bathroom, but the host promised to fix that for future guests. The environment was silent and safe, there is an 8 pack cam surveillance, good parking for 2 cars. Overall we had a luxury feeling. There was good contact with the host and his representative. Check out was flexible and good. We had a great time there. We surely recommend this house for a family or group. Thank you Kenrick

First off let me commend Kenrick on being such a awesome host!!! His communication is very throughly and strong! He made sure before, during, and after the trip that my friends and are were good throughout our stay and enjoyed Trinidad to the fullest! His home is EXACTLY as shown in the pictures! He have such a beautiful home, very comfortable, spacious, and clean! I wish I could have extended my stay just to actually relax and watch the Roku that he have in every room! I would highly recommend Kenrick's home to any visitors! Until next time TnT <3

L’accueille qui nous a été fait était génial: -visite de la maison -quelques courses avaient été faites pour nous (pain, jus, fromage, ...) -visite de la ville et des alentours -faire des courses le premier jour En cas de pluie il y a un sèche linge électrique. Le quartier est calme. Il y a une "pâtisserie", des petites boutiques et autre à proximité de la maison. Facilité de déplacement.

I will start off by saying what a great vacation my boyfriend and my 15 month old baby girl had..Kenrick also made our accommodation comfortable, meaning his place was very clean welcoming and relaxing he also welcome us with come refreshments and some,which I thought was very thoughtful. Neighborhood is very private and relaxing,something I look for on vacation. U can even take a quiet run in the morning or evening to site see ..electric gate to assess the driveway and I was very thankful he allowed us to invite friends and family members to visit us ..seeing my boyfriend and i are very family oriented. Overall i will definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting to get away from the busy hustle and bustle from town life in Trinidad.

Host communicated very well with us and is very kind the house is super clean and spacious,the backyard has a grill which is perfect for the weather he also left some welcoming refreshments and breakfast for us I'm glad I stayed here for my first time coming to Trinidad

Kenrick (the host) is an amazing individual who's very professional and quite charming and someone who my family and I will definitely be doing more business with in the very near future. It was our pleasure to support Kenrick by booking and residing at his property because as a host he provides a unique service to his house guests which certainly assisted in making our vacation a divine experience. Thank you!!!

Great experience. Flawless check in and out. Very friendly owner. The house was a lot more than we were expecting. Very clean, large and comfortable. Close to the main road and very safe and quiet neighborhood. Full equipped kitchen and the A/C’s worked great. There is a little store not too far. A sure thing.

Accommodation exceeded my expectations by far. My family members and myself are quite picky with cleanliness, smells, safety and surroundings and this location, exceeded their expectation as well. Everyone was happy, enjoyed their stay and honestly wished we had more time to just relax and enjoy it some more. Loved the back area and used it a lot at breakfast time, enjoyed listening to the birds and cool breeze. Thank you again for allowing us to reconnect to 'HOME' an experience I think all members of my family can walk away with a smile.

Un logement extrêmement agréable, avec une vue sublime sur la ville. Helen et son compagnon nous ont accueillis avec une très grande gentillesse et attention. je recommande vivement et remercie Helen pour ce très agréable séjour passé à Trinidad.

Judy was amazing from the time I submitted my request to the confirmation I arrived home safely. I had a short stay, Judy made it count and worth it. I will be seeing more of Judy in the future. I would recommend Judy to anyone looking for a warm, safe and loving place to stay at while in Trinidad.

Judy is a lovely person who is extremely generous with her time and provisions! This is a comfortable place to stay with the added bonus of a great host, available transportation, and a safe place to lay your head down while traveling!

I truly enjoyed staying at Miss Judy. Wonderful and kind individual. I came in a bit late but she was kind enough to wait up for me. Miss Judy greeted my with food upon arrival. We were able to sit and have a wonderful chat. Everything was up to par. The house impeccable. It definitely enjoyed staying here and will visit again.

I loved my stay with Judy! I arrived late but she welcomed me very warmly and even had a plate of food made for me. Judy is very generous and often offered me food which was really nice. Her muffins were delicious! Her place is beautiful, very clean and the room is really cozy. It was like staying at a home away from home. She went far out of her way to make my stay great. I also really enjoyed sitting around in the evenings talking with her and the other guest that was staying there. The area is quiet, safe and gated with security. I highly recommend staying with Judy, she is a great host and a wonderful person with amazing energy!

Mit ophold hos Judy var trygt, kærligt og hjerteligt. Judy fik mig med det samme til at føle mig velkommen i sit hjem med et hjemmelavet måltid og hjalp mig med alt vedrørende transport til og fra lufthavnen og færgeterminalen i Port of Spain. Desuden viste Judy mig rundt i nabolaget og kunne altid hjælpe hvis jeg havde spørgsmål angående steder og transport. Judy viser stor interesse for sine gæster og gør en hjertelig indsats for at dele sit hjem med os. Alt dette gør at jeg varmt kan anbefale Judys hjem til andre rejsende.

Five stars all the way! Super safe neighborhood and Judy is an amazing human being. Superhost! She made me a salad with artichoke dressing and guava juice. They were delicious. We chat and walked in the neighborhood. I also got to use the pool. The room is super nice and clean. There's an AC in the room and it has a lock too. You can walk to Shops of Arima in 2 mins ( it is across the street). Or you can take an Uber or maxi taxi to Tunapuna and grab Buss Up Shut at Wing's. From the airport to Judy's place, you can take an Uber which ranges from 40 to 46 TTd ($6 to $7 US dollars). Pretty good deal I think! I highly recommend this place and I know for sure I will come back! Thank you Judy!

She was incredibly accommodating and made sure communication was always good. Inspite of the lillte hicup she was wonderful about it all. Was even accomodating to my mum and grandmother as they came to see me. Thank you wholeheartedly for your hospitality. Highly recommended.

Judy is a great host. Her home is safe and comfortable. She has all the amenities one could need, and does her best to make you feel welcome. She works closely with a driver that is a great resource. A driver is needed as Judy's place is a bit far from most tourist sites in Trinidad. If you need a comfortable, inexpensive, nice play to stay I would recommend this.

Angelo and his family are the perfect hosts ... friendly, helpful and fun... am crossing my fingers the room is free as i want to stay with them again!! Cannot recommend enough! Thank you for your wonderful hospitality xxx ;)

Our experience was great...Jennifer, Hugh & Dorothy are wonderful people. Their home is well kept, tastefully decorated with beautiful furniture from different eras, the open air plan is pervasive with exquisite plants all around rendering the setting romantic, modern, breezy, relaxing, cosy & down right appealing - loved it! A lover of nature, this place represented my private dream of owning something secluded, enchantingly beautiful that I can escape to….birds of all description chirping & flitting from one tree or plant to another; pine trees lined the drive-way coming to the house; a variety of plants tastefully & thoughtfully co-exist all around the facility with a well- kept flower plantation. I enjoyed my walks around and in the garden area immensely. The b.room assigned was lovely; the air-condition unit was a bit noisy – which is an easy fix. The bed is queen size, comfortable; huge closet space, washroom adequate size and well-kept, the hot & cold worked well. Perfect for couples. Dorothy the housekeeper is fabulous, v.friendly, helpful & hilarious. We had a lovely time chatting with her. Her breakfast was delicious. When I asked her how she made her scrambled eggs she was quick to tell me her recipe which I definitely have to try. Jennifer & Hugh checked in with us ensuring that we were comfortable. They chatted with us on their journey on how their home evolved to its present state, their travels and other ventures. They are quite friendly and great host balancing affording their guest their privacy and making themselves available. A big thank you to: Jennifer, Hugh & Dorothy, for opening their home and heart to us. It was truly amazing and we appreciated the hospitality.

Let me start off by saying that both myself and my girlfriend have very high standards as we are both qualified in and work in support of the hospitality and tourism industry. I arranged a booking with Jennifer as a surprise for my girlfriend's birthday and WOW. Jennifer and Hue hit the mark dead on, with fantastic grace and style. Here is the inside scoop: The property was simply stunning with the photos shown on Airbnb being a true representation of the actual venue, and it was even more beautiful in real life. My girlfriend and I were captivated by the attention to detail and felt as though we had left Trinidad city life for an exotic vacation (amazing). The neighbourhood was peaceful and safe, the property was well maintained and our privacy was superbly preserved. Jennifer and Hue were fantastic hosts going out of their way to help me plan the birthday surprise for my gf, including allowing me to tour the property before I made the booking, receiving party suppliers 2 days before we checked in, helping me plan a romantic birthday dinner, as well as a breakfast and lunch spread the following day that made us not want to leave. Kudos to Dorothy our own private chef and housekeeper, whose cooking made you not want to leave the table. I also arranged to have a few friends over for a private poolside day of fun for the bday girl, and Jennifer and Hue were kind enough to let us have the place to ourselves. All of our guests fell in-love with the place and I know for sure that some of them will be back for their own private staycation. Excellent job Jennifer and Hue, we enjoyed every minute of our stay with you, and are already looking for dates when we can sneak away for another retreat at Balinese House. PS: We also enjoyed our walk through the massive flower garden as my gf is a flower fanatic. Thanks again for everything Jennifer, and if anyone is looking for great place to unwind in Trinidad then this is definitely the place to stay!

If you are on Trinadad and look for a beatiful place that is both near to Port of Spain and the airport then this is your place to be!! Jennifer and her family are extremely nice and welcoming and it was definetly one of our best stays on Airbnb ever. The pictures also speak for itself.

We stayed at this beautiful tropical home for 1 day as we had a connecting flight from Tobago to Toronto. When making our reservation Jennifer was very prompt and professional , we communicated via email and answered any questions we had about our reservation. Jennifer meet us at the airport at the arranged time. Although our flight was delayed Jennifer patiently waited for us, Thank you Jennifer! Jennifer also arranged our airport drop off for a nominal fee, he was on time, very helpful and very kind. Thanks Derek for meeting us at 4 am. What can I say about our accommodation, we were very very pleased and the pictures online depicted what is being offered. Pure Bliss! On arriving we were offered lunch, freshly squeezed orange juice and homemade beer. Later on the day we explored the farm and were able to poke around the five acre anthurium greenhouses, surrounding orange orchard and chill around the pool area. For supper, we were served an amazing curry meal. A perfect end to our holiday, it was simply delicious and mouth watering. Thanks Dorothy! We stayed in an air conditioned, very spacious, modern one bedroom unit. It is very well furnished and included a television. What more can you ask for while on vacation!! It was definitely a home away from home. And the best for last!!!! Our hosts, Jennifer and Huey were very accommodating, hospitable, and personable. They made us feel at home in a very short time. Kudos to you both, you have outdone yourself, we will definitely be back! p.s. Thanks for storing the 50 lbs of fish in your freezer for us!!

Great place and exceptional service. We were locals staying there for our anniversary and it felt like we travelled half way across the world with the Asian themed setting. The delicious food and friendly owners made it feel like home though :)

Jennifer and Hugh are interesting, informative and wonderfully gracious hosts. By the end of the weekend I felt like an extended family member and can't wait to return. Not just for the accommodation but also to renew the friendship extended to me. The accommodation is outstanding and the setting a tropical jewel away from but not far from the hustle and bustle of Trinidad. The property description is accurate. WiFi is good (essential for a business traveler). Proximity to the airport is an advantage. The finding directions are easy to follow.

If there were more than 5 stars to give I would. Hosts were polite, ever so helpful and warm conversations filled both day and night. It is rare to have the perfect combination of serenity, flora, aesthetics and hospitality all in one place but Jen and Hugh pull it off with 100% efficiency. I highly recommend the stay, I know we'll be back.

Hugh and Jennifer were some of the best hosts I've ever experienced. They helped arrange our entire time there and organized delicious meals, Hugh even gave us a tour of their brewery and explained how everything worked, then let us drink the beer to our heart's content — a treat for a beer nerd like me! Dorothy's cooking was wonderful, and they even took us out on their boat around the islands. The gorgeous farm is located near the airport, but unfortunately far from everything else. If your goal is to have a lovely weekend on a gorgeous farm by a pool, it's perfect. If you're looking to do touristy things, everything is at least a 40 minute drive away and any beach is nearly an hour. Hugh and Jennifer do a wonderful job of accommodating this — helping to arrange trips and taxis, and they even took us on some day trips themselves! — but be prepared to spend a lot of your time in a car. Should be noted the drives themselves are often beautiful! But it makes eating out difficult. All in all we would definitely recommend staying here, but if your goal is to lie on the beach from dawn to dusk or to party in town, this might not be the place for you.

You have your own small house beside the main house with all amenities you need and more. You'll get an fantastic breakfast in the main house where a steelpan is ready to play with.
