We stayed there for just over two weeks in January. This was the perfect base to explore the island and its capital,Port of Spain. It is near all the popular night spots and best restaurants.A great experience to stay in a old style house with all the modern conveniencies.There was also on-site parking for our hire car. Our hosts Rosemary... More

My girlfriend and I stayed here 2 nights, and although we were hardly around during the day, we enjoyed coming back to our temporary home. Close enough to walk to interesting places but far enough away you can sleep easily at night. A little pricey at $600TT/night, but it's safe and in a good location. More

We stayed in the Gingerbread House in November for just a few days. Rosemary is a pleasant and helpful host. I loved the sound of the tree frogs at night. Relaxed family atmosphere and well located. More

We recently visited Port of Spain and having seen some of the reviews on the Gingerbread House, decided to stay there for the full 2 weeks of our visit to Trinidad, as it sounded so welcoming. It was great - and absolutely lived up to our expectations. It was an excellent base for the holiday being centrally located, but just... More

We spent a wonderful 5 days at the Gingerbread House. Our hosts Bernard & Rosemary, daughter Natalie, dog Ollie, Maid Sandra & Gardener Mr James, welcomed us into their beautiful home and treated us like family. Rosemary's breakfasts were sumptuous - orange juice, fresh fruit, a selection of cereals, eggs & bacon, toast & jam, coffee or tea. Located in... More

Rosemary, Bernaud and Natalie made us feel very welcome, nearly family!!! We loved the food, the location and the attention to detail. Nothing was too much trouble. The room may have been a tad on the small size but I cannot fault the service. Fresh towels daily, bed changed every two/three days. I would highly recommend staying with them. Especially... More

I took my wife to Trinidad for the first time and we can't wait to go back. First, about the Gingerbread House. We awoke to home made breakfast every morning, delicious island dishes (bake and salt fish, coconut water on one occasion) and they even sent the staff out one day because I just felt like having Frosted Flakes. The... More

I went to T'dad on a business trip with my colleague. It was his first time there and I must say he was quite impressed with the Gingerbread House and everything else that he experienced in his 3 days in T'dad. Being a Trinidadian myself, I was quite pleased that his first impression will be memorable. Selecting the Gingerbread House... More
