Spacious 1 Bedroom Villa, Private 20ft Pool, Stunning Views, 5 Mins To Beaches

Makere Cottage is available once more for short term rental, starting from July 2023. It is nestled on Soldier Hill with gentle breezes and breath taking views over Cane Garden Bay, surrounding islands and the Caribbean Sea. Situated within a tropical garden at the end of a short gated drive with a private 20-foot swimming pool and large sun terrace, Makere Cottage represents the ideal retreat in which to relax and unwind.

Makere Cottage Tortola

The cottage is very spacious and ideal for a couple either travelling alone or with children. However, it is not suitable for toddlers due to the steep drop from the balcony and unfenced swimming pool. The master bedroom has a king-size bed, views over the bay and plenty of closet space. The large living room, which also has plenty of closet space, is very comfortable with a 3 seater sofa bed, armchair, day bed and dining table and is linked to the master bedroom via an adjoining 10-foot wide covered deck. The kitchen has all modern requirements and connects to the large private bathroom. There are a washing machine and tumble dryer in the nearby pump room.

The swimming pool is on the same level as the cottage offering a welcome escape from the Caribbean heat. A sun terrace providing a spacious area for both sunbathing and al fresco dining surrounds the pool. The cottage has been built very much in the ‘Caribbean Style’ with wooden decks, blue shutter windows, white walls and terracotta-tiled floors creating a clean and simple environment. With its positioning up on the hill there is usually a lovely cooling breeze at all times of year.

As you will read in the reviews Makere Cottage was a popular holiday rental villa until Hurricane Irma struck the BVI in September 2017. Following the storm Makere was repaired and refurbished and put into long term rental whilst the island got back on its feet. With the beaches back to their glorious best and the gardens and vegetation fully recovered we decided to put Makere Cottage back into short term rental starting in July 2023.

You will need to hire a 4-wheel drive vehicle on arrival in Tortola. We can provide you with contact details for a local car rental company who will meet you at the airport or ferry terminal and, if arriving after hours, arrange for you to be collected and taken to Makere Cottage where you car will be waiting. We will provide you with directions and a Google Maps Pin with which to find the property.

Makere Cottage is one of two villas on the property. Both are of a similar size and completely private and separate to one another. Makere House is on the upper level with Makere Cottage below. To reach Makere Cottage you park on the upper level entrance drive and then walk down some stairs (approx. 20 steps) to reach the Cottage and swimming pool.

Makere House is occupied by a young Canadian couple who work all day in the Charter Boat industry. They will fully respect your privacy but will be available if you require any local knowledge or in case of an emergency.

Our property manager, Mobbsie, who lives nearby can also provide emergency assistance if you need it and his contact number will be provided.

A wonderful stay in Tortola
Makere Cottage was a perfect place to stay. We stayed in Tortola for a month this time and we couldn’t have selected a more perfect home. The property overlooks Cane Garden Bay which is beautiful and its location offers easy access to Road Town, restaurants and beaches. It is very roomy with good size rooms and plenty of closet space. We loved the kitchen and outdoor barbecue and the pool, which you don’t always find in a rental, was perfect. There isn’t anything more we could have asked for.and I recommend it highly.

What a view!
My husband and I spent our 25th anniversary here and couldn't have enjoyed it more, other than staying longer! We traveled around the whole island, visiting amazing cove after amazing cove. The people are very friendly and I was amazed at how clean the beaches were and not many stray animals, which always makes me sad on vacation. Thank you for an amazing cottage and vacation!!

Perfect getaway
Our stay at Makere Cottage was wonderful. The cottage has everything we needed. Plenty of space, well-appointed kitchen, beautiful views, and our daily visitor Tola - the resident friendly and beautiful cat. We spent lazy days at the pool and hours sitting on the porch overlooking Cane Garden Bay. We loved opening all the double doors to allow for indoor/outdoor living. Took us a bit to master driving on the island and to the cottage itself, but once we did, we realized the location was perfect for us. Just a short drive down the hill to Cane Garden Bay and the west side of the island where we discovered beautiful beaches and an assortment of good restaurants. The cottage itself was very clean and we could not have asked for better accommodations. Highly recommend this fantastic rental.

Good Location Great View
Makere Cottage is perched high above Cane Garden Bay, which hosts the best group of beach restaurants on the island. The House was clean and stylish and we spent a lot of time on the balcony overlooking the bay. We found everything we needed to prepare our evening meals and clean up afterwards. The pool was a nice addition and was fairly private while the permanent renters were away at work. The walk to the cottage from the drive was a bit precarious especially when carrying heavy luggage down the two flights of stairs but we are in our 60s and could handle it fairly well. The only complaint we had was that the bed was particularly rickety and hard. Other than that I would strongly recommend this beautiful cottage

Unbelievable View
We loved our stay at Makere Cottage in the BVI. The view was so beautiful and the cottage was quite spacious. We spent at least a little time each night on the porch looking down on the tranquil setting of Cane Garden Bay. Brewer's Bay was just a short drive down the opposite side of the ridge and it's an even more peaceful and idyllic beach. I'd highly recommend Makere Cottage for the location, comfort, amenities, and the view!

Amazing views!
We stayed at Makere cottage in early December 2023. The location is high on a hill above Cane Garden Bay with the most lovely views. The cottage is simple to get to once you go the first time, but we arrived after dark. Thank goodness for the help from Chaniece at Jerry’s Car rental, who made arrangements to have a cab at the West End ferry to get us to the cottage where a car had been delivered for us. The cottage is as shown and described in the listing. We were grateful that there was air conditioning available in the bedroom for sleeping to cut some of the humidity, yet loved the open windows and doors to let in the sea breezes. Tina, the owner was readily available for any questions and the local property manager quickly took care of getting us a replacement item needed at the cottage. We love this end of Tortola - the beautiful beaches, views and dining options. Now we have a wonderful place to stay for the next time we return; the views from the covered deck are so amazing! I would highly recommend the Makere cottage.

Hidden gem!!
Such a great place!! The pictures don't do it justice as it is SO much prettier in person!! Very relaxing, great views, tons of outdoor seating. Loved having a pool for the couple of days we needed a break from the beach. The privacy is incredible and love being tucked away like that where you felt like the only people anywhere around there. Tons of really good places to eat down in Cane Garden Bay. Paradise has some GREAT drink specials every night. Bananakeet was very, very, very good!! My suggestion for future visitors: 1) Pick up some ice and water on your way to the villa (gallon of water is great for brushing your teeth) and a pack of water bottles is a necessity 2) Bring some paper towels 3) Stop by the market or grocery store first since other than a couple of very small places there is not much around there 4) It can be difficult to find after dark so be sure to factor that in depending on what time you arrive on the island

Fantastic View and Villa
Makere Villa is perched high on a hill over Cane Garden Bay. The view is wonderful. Not only is the view of the bay with lots of boating activities the hills on three side provide a different and interesting sights each afternoone and evening. The villa was very comfortable, well appointed and had everything we needed for a week's stay. The owners were most helpful before and during our stay. They gave us lots of important information with directions to the villa, nearby sights, restaurants etc. They recommended Jerry's Jeep and Car Rental which worked great for us. They were also very helpful in helping us learn the lay of the island. The property manager was also very helpful when we had a question. The villa helped make our week in Paradise perfect.

Do not HESITATE to book this cottage!! The view is unbelievable - stunning for coffee in the mornings and cocktails at night. It feels so private and secluded. The private pool overlooking Cane Garden is a huge splurge. The cottage is equipped with everything that you would need and has an extremely comfortable king size bed. It is in the perfect location on the island to have easy access to everything. Tina (the owner) is wonderful to communicate with and has fabulous recommendations from restaurants to beaches to tours to even which car rental company to use. Every suggestion was perfect. We had a MAGICAL VACATION!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Great little place
We enjoyed our stay at Makere. Despite a few power outages (rained and stormed several times), power was usually restored in descent time frame. You can't beat the views and the pool was great for our young boys! I like the quick access to town, and two great beaches, Brewer's and Cane Garden are so close. We loved Bananakeet Resraurant and the boys enjoyed the waves on Long Beach! Ferry to The Baths on Virgin Gorda is a must do! Thanks to Mosby, Tina and family for sharing your slice of paradise with us. We wish to return in the future! Gotta start saving again!

Third time at Makere!
This was our third visit to Tortola and every time we have stayed at Makere, however this was our first time in the house with our 5 year old son. We've always stayed in the cottage but our friends took the cottage this time. So we had both properties which was awesome! As always it was a beautiful stay and charming as the cottage! The house was clean, comfortable beds and everything we needed to cook in the house. The view is one I can never get tired of! I will note that the house does not have air conditioning but since its higher up there's a constant breeze and we even got a little cold at night after the rains stopped. Can't wait to return to Makere!

Lovely, secluded piece of paradise
Makere cottage really is all it's cracked up to be. The view... What can you say? It's more incredible than the pictures and we never got tired of soaking it in. My husband and I came to Tortola for our honeymoon and it was everything we hoped for. Breakfast on the deck overlooking Cane Garden Bay was one of my favorite things. Being able to sit in the shade and read at any time of day and enjoy the beauty was perfect for us. The cottage is also bigger in person, yet totally accurate from the pictures. Everything was wonderful and homey. The cottage met all of our needs and more. The snorkel equipment came in handy as we snorkeled several times during the trip. Brewer's Bay was our favorite Tortola beach. It was so nice and quiet. Secluded but not too far from the beaches and more. The private pool was great for days when you didn't feel like getting out. There is so much to see and do in the BVI we needed a rest occasionally! We had a fabulous experience and have already had friends say they want to come here as well. We want to come back on an anniversary. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

Wonderful vacation !
We had a wonderful vacation at Makere Cottage! The cottage was just perfect - exactly as pictured and described on your site. Everything was neat and clean and in perfect working order. The view is spectacular and we loved being near Cane Garden and other attractions on the western end of the island. We have been to Tortola many times as the starting place for sailing charters, but never to stay on land. This time, we stayed for a whole week, enjoying Tortola's beaches and a few visits to nearby islands. Our favorite beach was Josiah's Bay - beautiful sand and surf, surfers, and a couple of laid back beach bars. The Sugar Mill on Apple Bay is a terrific place for lunch! Thanks, Tina, for all of your help in preparing for the trip. You answered all of our questions. Mobbsie met us at Cane Garden upon our arrival and escorted us to the cottage, explaining all of the important things we needed to know for our visit. If we make it back to Tortola for a land vacation, we will definitely want to stay at Makere again! Jane and John F. - May 13-20, 2017

lovely place
no need to mention the view, that is why this place is so popular. Place was easy to find, before you descend down to Cane Bay, take the right fork signed Brewers Bay, go careful as the road now is very narrow. around 500-750 m the road forks right . Stop !! the house is on the left. Kitchen is small but adequate, small fridge in the house but larger fridge and freezer under main house with washing/drying machine. Shower is also adequate but a has a sharp edged grate in the floor so be careful, plenty of towels supplied. The road below the cottage did get noisy at times specially when the buses transported the cruise customers to and from the beach. Overall the place was lovely but I felt it lacked a bit of general maintenance. Pool and outdoor seating areas are just wonderful , used the gas bbq once which made for a nice al fresco meal. We used the Rite Way supermarket, Wickams Cay 2 just outside Road Town, opposite site of Rite Way going into Road Town is a lovely French Deli, great for lovely bread, cheese, meats and cakes !!

Trip of a Lifetime
My wife and I spent a week at Makere Cottage and we just got home last night. We miss it already. We miss the views from the terrace over coffee. We miss the sounds of the roosters waking us us so that we got a full day on the island to explore. We miss our afternoons by the pool. And we miss the wonderful people of Tortola. Makere has an ideal location near two perfect beaches and it is close enough to town to shop for essentials at the market and the bakery. It is very well equipped, spacious and had all that we needed to cook most of our own meals and relax in total privacy. Tina was extremely responsive throughout the booking process and the Cottage was well taken care of by Mobbsie and the team. We will be back to Tortola and Makere.

Spectacular views is an understatement
Stayed here in October 2016 for my honeymoon. After coming in to the West End, the Villa was only a short drive along the beach and up the hill. The house was very clean and very comfortable. AC kept us cool at night and opening the doors during the day invited a great breeze throughout. The cottage offered a great views of Cane Garden Bay which was enjoyed every morning over coffee and peaked every night at sunset. 5-10 min Drive from Cane Garden and Brewers Bay on the other side. We stayed in and used the kitchen a few nights to make dinner. We would recommend this cottage to anyone! Tina was very responsive and accommodating. Mobbsie kept the pool clean and was super helpful offering suggestions on what to see around the island. We cant wait to come back!

Lovely Experience
We spent a week at Makere Cottage in July 2014. We're seasoned travelers, but had never been to the Caribbean. I asked Tina many questions about the property and Tortola. She was really helpful and quick to respond. She was also very honest about the fact that the cottage is open to the elements, meaning that there will be insects around. We were fine with that, but it was good to know in advance. We loved the warm and pleasing décor of the cottage, very relaxing. We spent a lot of time on the back balcony enjoying the spectacular views! We also really appreciated the air conditioning in the bedroom, because it did get hot and humid. Mobbsie was great, answered our questions, helped orient us, and was fun to talk to. I loved the pool, wonderful to jump in and cool off. As others have said, you must have a 4-wheel drive to get around the island. We found the roads scary at first, but you do get used to it. Watch how the locals manage the hills and curves. There is a technique. Many thanks to Tina and family for providing such a pleasing place to vacation!

Perfect Honeymoon!
My husband and I stayed at Makere Cottage for our honeymoon which turned out to be perfect for us since we are not "crowd" people. We had the entire cottage to ourselves which included the pool, patio, deck, and best of all the VIEWS! We spent most of our time while at the cottage hanging out on the deck drinking wine or coffee depending on the time of day! The rest of our time was split between going to Brewer's Bay for snorkeling and beach activities and Cane Garden Bay where we went to dinner and relaxed. One of our other favorite things to do was to watch the storms come in over the mountains. They would sweep across the mountains, down into the bay, and then out toward St. Thomas. We even got to see a double rainbow that seemed to land right on top of us! If we are ever in Tortola again we will plan on staying at this beautiful and relaxing cottage!

Beautiful, tranquil and romantic
What can I say that hasn't already been said. We arrived for 2 weeks in the dark to be met by Mobbsie who helped us settle in, what a gentleman, very informative and has a great respect for your privacy, anyway although it was dark you knew from the twinkling lights from the the yachts in Cane Garden Bay that this view was going to be something special. To wake up in a gloriously comfortable king size bed and see the vista spread below you was a sight to behold. You will NEVER get bored with the view. The cottage is well maintained, Mobbsie is on hand to sort out any problems in a very plesant manner. The flora and fauna around the cottage is beautiful you can even pick your own bananas, oranges and mangoes if in season, can't get fresher than that! The pool is large and cleaned regulary,a great respite from the heat in the afternoons, you will get lazy, like everyone else before us the view just captivates you. The internet connection is fast and the book selection is beginning to grow. There is no tv but plenty of childrens dvd's to amuse kids if needs be, no big problem for most of us! Definetly hire a 4x4, we used Jerry, who was very accommodating and delivered our jeep direct to the villa. The roads take some getting used to, just take a deep breath, take it slow and let the locals pass. We used to go to the Sailor's Rest in Cane Garden Bay for afternoon snacks and beer and watch the pelicans and boobie birds diving for fish just yards away, wonderful entertainment. What wonderful memories we have and we even miss the early morning rooster calls and the night calls of the crickets now that were are home. Just to say Tina was very helpful and extremely prompt in replying to my e-mails which made booking very easy and seamless. Thank you Tina and Adam for an unforgettable 2 weeks on a beautiful island.

Makere Cottage
My husband and I stayed at the Makere Cottage in February of 2011. We absolutely loved this villa. Adam and Tina were very welcoming and the villa had everything we needed. To say the view from the villa is breathtaking is an understatement. The pool was exceptionallly clean and and our stay here was picture perfect. We are planning to return next winter and can't wait.
