Native Abode

A welcoming place to stay. Run by sister and brother, Kaye and Stein, they make you feel at home. They’ve lived here all their lives so they provide excellent recommendations and regale you with island stories. Breakfast is fantastic – a wide array of the tastes of Trinidad and Tobago. It’s a great way to start the day. The room is comfortable with excellent air conditioning and a fan. Good location in Crown Point – close to beaches, airport, restaurants, supermarkets.

My wife and I spent 5days in Tobago and stayed at this very pleasant B&B near Crown Point. The rooms are on the second floor of a larger neighborhood home and are very comfortable. It is run by Stein and his sister who are friendly and accommodating. The rooms are clean and high tech with television and Wi-Fi and excellent air conditioning. They serve a cooked made-to order breakfast from a select menu which is good. The place is in a local neighborhood so you get a feeling how the natives live. There are barking dogs and a some noise but we slept very well and felt perfectly safe. The downsides are the narrow spiral staircase which would not work for persons with a mobility problem. Stein will give you rides locally but due to the distance from restaurants and most activities having a rental car is advisable. You are not in a resort and will need to make your own way to the public beaches which are not far. If you wish to have a authentic local experience this is an excellent choice. If you are looking for a swimming pool and resort accommodations this would not be a good choice. We enjoyed the experience and felt it contributed positively to our stay in Tobago.

Kaye gave us a very warm welcome in her guest house. Kaye grew up in Tobago, therefore knows the island very well and has the best contacts. If you want to organize something (excursions, rental car, restaurant visits, onward flights, etc.) Kaye is extremely helpful and has valuable recommendations. The breakfast is excellent with a wide selection and always freshly prepared; preferably with everything that grows in their large garden. The rooms are very clean. We can highly recommend Guesthouse Native Abode and wish Kaye and her brother, Stein continued success.
