Once in a while, you end up staying in a place so sublime that it not just lives up, but exceeds the high expectations set by various pictures and rave reviews -- that was Secret Garden. Derrick and Helene’s home has been one of the loveliest places I’ve stayed in. The 19th century property has been restored carefully and lovingly -- every single item you see there looks as if it had been chosen with care. Our blue Lennox room had so much character and charm -- from the four-poster bed to the quaint old lamp and the little knick knacks arranged artistically. The garden seemed to be a magical place, with its luxuriant, tropical trees and plants, and little touches of whimsy everywhere.

Thank you so much for taking the trouble to write such a lovely review! Really very kind of you. I am glad that you found everything in order (D is obviously well trained!!!) I am really sorry I was away - it is odd operating remotely but the team by now knows how I like things done as TSGG is indeed a labour of love - in fact it is not a labour it is a joy - I love and care about my home and I am so happy that it reflects this joy and you guys appreciated it. THANK YOU. Looking forward to meeting you on your next visit, until then... warmest wishes, Helene & Team TSGG

Treasure chest in a tropical setting

Have reviewed before. Second visit this time with husband and two teen boys. Monopoly, the pool and the three dogs did it for them. Its an old house n it being just premonsoon there were a few bug problems. The a. In one room wasn’t cooling and Derrick gave us use of the other free. Very helpful n inclusive home, with jane taking care in Helene’s absence (she was visiting the UK). Enough board games, books, snacks to spend yr time.

Hello there, Thank you for taking the time to review us again! Glad that you all had a lovely vacay in spite of the issues - good that Derrick and team were able to solve them quickly for you, the change of season can be tricky and this year has been extreme in temperature. Thanks for your understanding. Take care, Helene

Gorgeous Homestay

We had an incredible stay at The Secret Garden. Our room was just beautiful with AC, rain shower and extra comfy bed. The setting is truly an oasis with lush gardens, gorgeous pool and quiet surroundings. The food was amazing!! H makes the best breakfasts every morning with freshly baked bread, homemade jams and unbelievable omelets plus the best potatoes you will ever have! You will love your stay here. Close to the beach, restaurants and shops. Can't wait to go back!

Memorable experience!!

“It's a very beautiful home, very comfortable to stay, if you want to wind down, chill , relax... This is the place. Serenity all around. The host, Helene is very cool, helping & is kind enough to accommodate early check in and late check out requests :) . It is truly an amazing experience. Last but not the least, breakfast here is delicious. ”
