Close enough by car to the shops and restaurants in St George's and the beaches at Grand Anse, but high enough in the hills at 800ft to catch the cooling breezes and feel that you are almost in the rain-forest. Grenada is a volcanic island with the highest peak being 2757ft. Relative to this our location is considered the suburbs! (Approx area 60sq m)
A drive of less than 10 to 15 mins connects you with most places of interest. Fort Frederick is only a mile or a power walk away. LaPhere Bleu and Port Louis restaurants are a ten-minute drive away as is Clarke's Court Marina. Food from your favourite restaurants can be ordered and delivered online! Great new service!!! They even deliver groceries from the Food Fair supermarket!!

Look forward to welcoming you to Smithy's Garden Flat 1 For Quarantine stay or 2 Your Vacation .
Guest access
If you choose to rent a car like most of our guests do, look for a wooden sign marked "Smithy's Garden" !!! You have your own gated entrance (lower green gate just on the corner) and private parking space. You are welcome to walk around the garden and to enjoy it. We will share our available fresh fruit with you. If you want to work at home, the internet is 100Mbps
Fruit in season are typically mangoes, plums and pineapples as well as papaya and of course bananas and limes.
Please take the time to read our brief information manual when you settle in. To help you discover Grenada the flat has maps, a telephone directory and information on Grenada for Visitors. If you need any further assistance, just ask. We are next door, but will respect your privacy.
If you must smoke we ask that you do so in the veranda and not indoors, as a courtesy to other non smoking guests coming after you.
Please keep your lower outer gate closed at all times. This will help us to keep our pets safe. Thanks in advance for you cooperation and understanding on this.
KEEPING COOL
Please make use of the fans and open up the windows to keep cool, please do not abuse the a/c in the bedrooms by trying to cool the flat with it, you will run the risk of having to pay to replace it . $$$$$$ The louvered doors and windows in the flat work well with the fans and the Venetian blinds on the west side to keep the apartment cool and the screens will help to keep flying insects away in the evenings.
