Traum House

Traum House is an oasis nestled in sleepy St. Augustine, the perfect respite for any traveller. Traum is one of the few properties bestowed with a name in Trinidad. Legend has it that it was given to a German who escaped Nazi Germany and he named it Traum, German for dream to represent the solace and security he felt here. In honor of the legacy of Traum we have named the rooms after our ancestors: Goodar, Moonia, Kowlessar, Driller, Madan & Raimoon and parents Roopnarine and Romasha.
