About this property
Spacious 1 Bedroom Villa, Private 20ft Pool, Stunning Views, 5 Mins To Beaches
Makere Cottage 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.
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.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Tina Richards

We – Adam (52), Tina (53), William (22) and Alexandra (19) live in Hampshire, England. Adam was born on Soldier Hill in 1970 while his parents were living and working on Tortola. In 1999 he married Tina and together they decided to build a home on the same spot with the dream that family and friends could visit the island and enjoy holidays together. The result is Makere and we hope you have as much fun there as we do!
Why they chose this property
With its central location Makere Cottage is an ideal setting from which to explore the island. Tortola is best known for its secluded beaches with their gentle surf, golden sands and tall overhanging palm trees. The beaches of Cane Garden Bay and Brewers Bay are both a short 5-minute drive away down opposite sides of Solider Hill. They contrast each other perfectly. Cane Garden Bay offers lively bars and restaurants whilst Brewers Bay is peaceful and quiet with superb swimming and snorkelling. If you want to visit the capital Road Town to shop or take ferries to the many other islands, it too is only a 15-minute drive away.
What makes this property unique
We are one of only a handful of one bedroom villa's on the island with a private pool.
