botanical villas treehouse camp
Does anyone know where in Peter Bay this is or anyone been there??botanicalvillas.com - a campground with baresites,tents and treehouses??
They are located next to Amarosa Villa and the driveway is right next to Amarosa's -directly above North Shore Road.
They are in a word, urr, humm, err, interesting to look at but the view is spectacular it's a shame they (I assume "they" as it happened on their property) cut down alot of tree's - I am assuming to "improve" their view

This is on the upward side of the road, nearly opposite the eastern (original) entrance to Peter Bay. It is owned by Elsa Hall. The Halls were the the 1/5 owners of Peter Bay who did not sell to the developers. Elsa's older sister, Phyllis, runs Hillcrest Guest House on the family's Cruz Bay property. I haven't seen the Botanical Villas area up close since its recent upgrading and expansion. It's still a pretty small complex, but the location is super!!!

Weird, I had never heard of it either. I had to laugh at this line on the website though:
We are an eco friendly business. We love the natural plants, and animals. We especially like the quietness and seclusion of the area, Peters Bay.
Peters Bay? Is that on St. Johns?

Place names are constantly evolving things. Peter's Bay or Peters Bay were considered more correct in the past, just as Hawknest, without an "s," is still how many St. Johnians refer to that bay. A hundred years ago, St. John was still spelled St. Jan, but was very often said as St. Johns....it was probably only when the post office started routinely sending our mail to the capital of Antigua that St. John got officially un-"essed". Sometime in the 70's another bay began to be pronounced "LIne-ster", when everyone here had always pronounced it " Lynn-ster".
