Sizo 2 bedroom wooden cottage, outdoor living

This location is wonderful.it is immersed in nature with all the comfort and attention to details. The owners were very kind and help us with all our needs. We will be back next time we go to Dominìca!

Beautiful,warm, incredible view, friendly staff No regrets staying here highly recommended

One-of-a-kind property. The setting and view is unmatched. It was hard to leave it when our stay was over. Ginette is a welcoming host. Convenient to many of the incredible sites in the area too.

The cottage looks even better in person than the online pictures show. The view down the valley is very nice. We very much enjoyed breakfast each morning watching the humming birds and an occasional iguana or agouti passing by below the railing. Privacy is very good but the outdoor shower and a corner of one room are in view of the cottage next door. We used the indoor shower. The cottage is open to the outdoors so you will encounter the occasional lizard, bug or bird in the living space and there is no temperature control other than fans. I love my AC but didn't miss it at all. The surrounding ocean moderates the temperature and we actually needed a blanket at night. We slept under the mosquito net but I don't recall seeing a single mosquito all week. The location of the cottage is perfect for visiting many of Dominica's best hikes and attractions. We had a rental car which I would recommend. Finding the cottage at night is nearly impossible because the sign is located above your driving lights. Here is an easy way to find it. After you pass Cocoa Cottage, the road goes left and then back right. After the right hand turn go about 100 yards and you will spot a narrow lane on the right passing through dense vegetation. That is the driveway. There are very few nice restaurants in the area. Ginette, the hostess, is a wonderful person and she can set you up to have a nice dinner delivered some nights. Lacou Melrose House in Roseau is also an excellent option.

Experience nature living in an open air cottage in the rainforest. We enjoyed our time here. But we knew what to expect and it may not be for everyone. The kitchen is small, but adequate and we cooked most dinners here and packed lunches for day hikes. The bed was comfortable and we are grateful for the bug net canopy over the bed. The indoor shower had warm water and water pressure was good.We enjoyed watching a variety of birds feeding on the banana plant flower at one of the openings. Also watching the lizards catch bugs at night. Keep in mind, this is open air. The birds fly right over to the counter begging as soon as you sit down and critters are in the kitchen at night searching. Little droppings are left behind on the counters and seating and it’s a rainforest, so everything seems just a tad moist. There are bugs. We kept our bags zipped closed and under bug nets when not using them.I feel the pictures in the listing were more from the other cottage and looked nicer, but we were satisfied.Location is great. The cottage is very close to Trafalgar Falls, Titou Gorge and the Boiling Lake hike. Ginette was wonderful and connected us with Dr. Birdy for a day of birdwatching as well as helped with other questions. Parking was easy and so was check-in.If you have questions, make sure you just ask Ginette, she is super helpful with everything.

This property is absolutely charming and adorable. It has everything you need, is really well kept and clean, it has tons of personality and blends the outdoor and indoor worlds together in a very unique and practical way. To quote my 18yr old daughter- How can we not cook dinner in when we have this kitchen to work inGinette our host was very welcoming and responsive.

Everything you need is there. We were however unfortunate with the continuous rain, which made the open space a disadvantage (no way to get your clothes dry anymore). It is easy enough to go down to the (dryer and sunnier) coast, so location is good in general.

We loved our stay at the Sizo Cottage. The cottage is near the main road in the Roseau Valley, but it is also secluded and feels remote. The kitchen wide open to the rainforest valley is just a peaceful and harmonious way of living. We had everything we needed, cooked dinner every evening, had our breakfast in the morning, and went off exploring. Middleham Falls, Trafalgar Falls, Titou Gorge, Fresh Water Lake, all are nearby and convenient, as is Roseau. 10 our of 10, easy.

What a great experience! We loved the open living plan with its outdoor shower, the kitchen over looking the valley, the gardens, all the wild life, and I could go on and on! The location made it easy to experience many of the hiking trails and other activities we enjoyed. Host was awesome and we hope to return! Sooner rather than later!!!

If you enjoy the outdoors, you will LOVE this cottage!! We wanted to experience Dominica and all its beauty and this property provided us more than we could have ever imagined. We woke up each morning to stunning views of the mountains and had coffee in the outdoor kitchen/living area. The location was also ideal to the local attractions and the city of Roseau. Ginette and her daughter Ari checked in daily to ensure our comfort and enjoyment. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone visiting the island. It was a dream come true for us.

Wonderfully lushly set property very convenient to city Roseau on one hand and all of the delights of the Roseau Valley on the other. Setting is excellent, with parking and cottages in a gated area, the valley views from the open-air kitchen and lounge (Sizo cottage) are magnificent, and the host is kind and very helpful with all arrangements. Tolerance for mosquitoes will be required, but the ceiling fans in the place help a lot, and this is true for nearly everywhere in Dominica! Did not bother us overly. Great base to explore all the Roseau Valley area has to offer, and not a bad drive to the southwest (eg Champagne Beach) nor central area with Emerald Pool. Hot sulphur pools are 10 minutes' drive and just the ticket for weary travellers. (Tolerance for challenging road conditions required for anywhere in the Roseau Valley.) Highly recommend.

We liked the place. Open. Well situated, close to everything we wanted to do. Nice view. I had a misunderstanding with my car rental company and Ginette put a lot of effort in finding a new car for us. Thanks a lot!
