The natural wood walls and hardwood floors create a warm and cozy feel. West Indian and Asian-inspired design elements add to its unique charm.
Banyan offers an indoor shower, a separate half bath and a beautiful outdoor shower built with natural stone. The spacious kitchen is equipped with basic cooking utensils, gas stove, oven and full size fridge.
Please note that all our historic and newer accommodations are built in an eco-friendly, open and tropical style, with no screens or air conditioning, only mosquito nets. Balenbouche is best for adventurous travelers who are comfortable with the outdoors, do not require resort style amenities and are looking to experience true island life.

Important Info
The story of Banyan
The original wooden 2 room structure was built in the 1960’s, and served as a home for the former estate caretaker and his family. In the early 1990’s, the house was renovated and expanded to include indoor bathrooms and a kitchen, living room and veranda. The first visitors who stayed in banyan were volunteers, family and friends. Over the years, various improvements have been made, including structural repairs, better furniture and fixtures, solar hot water and high speed internet.
Future renovation plans include painting or replacing some of the natural dark wood to brighten up the interior, and adding an additional deck and plunge pool.
