Morne Jaloux ridge is a residential area just one mile from Fort Frederick and three miles from the historic capitol St George's. Cooled by easterly trade winds, and just 800 ft. above sea level, this location is ideal and safe. 100 yards up the road from Smithy's is the local bus stop where you can take the 10 min drive to St George's if you want to mingle with Grenadians, visit the museum or shop for local produce in the colorful market. Travel once on the bus and the driver and conductor will know your stop on the return! Less than a mile away is Woburn where there is a lovely lookout for shore birds. In the garden are a variety of birds as well, several hummers and the spectacled thrush as well as a variety of doves. Anoli lizards are frequent visitors to the veranda as they live in the garden. They are harmless. This lovely residential area is best suited to vacationers who like renting cars and scooters or taking taxis or waiting for local buses who seem to have their own individual time table. All buses go into St George's where a transfer bus can take you to other destinations around the island. Buses are therefore probably not very practical if you have appointments to keep. Our guests can enjoy discounted car rental and tour rates if they book with our associates McIntyre Bros Car Rental and Caribbean Horizons Tours - just confirm you are staying with us when booking, or we can book for you. In a rental vehicle Grand Anse beach is less than 10 minutes away, en route is Grenada Distillers, home of Clarkes Court rum as well as picturesque Hog and Calivigni islands. Within walking distance of your accommodation are village shops selling basic items. The main super-markets in Grand Anse are close to the beach and you probably will make a habit of doing your shopping there after a swim and a lime at Umbrellas Beach bar on Grand Anse beach. Venture further and you will discover Morne Rouge Beach and several restaurants selling wonderful dishes, some made with Grenada's fresh fish and Lobster. Mt Hartman dove sanctuary and Woburn wetlands are also en route to Grand Anse. There are several supermarkets and restaurants in St George's as well, some on the waterfront and others very close to the main bus terminal and fish market. The local buses are privately owned and seem to run on timetables of their own...if time is not an issue for you, you may find that traveling on a bus is a great way to experience Grenada as a local and the fares are very inexpensive - EC$3 -EC$5.
