Immortelle is an experience as it is built in totally harmony with the nature around it. Local hard woods give it an organic feel. Grande Riviere is a heavenly spot where giant Leatherback turtles come to lay eggs. Be inspired!
The space
Immortelle is an octagonal shaped wooden house nestled in beautiful, majestic tropical trees (Saman, Palms, Pouis, Cocoa, Mango) built on a 2-acre plot of land situated at the Grande Riviere river mouth.
Grande Riviere beach is a protected nesting ground for Giant Leatherback Turtles and the access is restricted, during night hours (by permit only, permits can be obtained from the Tourist Office situated near the beach) from March 1st to August 31st.
The house is accessible off Hosang St, a large wooden gate marks the entrance and the driveway is lined with Palm trees and Bougainvillea.
The main living area is about 18 feet of the ground giving you the feeling that you are in a tree house. Heavy wooden louver doors open in accordion to reveal picture frames of green beauty with the Caribbean Sea on the horizon.
The open space living area including the kitchen and dining room is spacious and comfortable, allowing one to feel at home among the birds and the trees tops. The kitchen is fully equipped with all modern amenities. An outdoor deck attached to the house by a wooden bridge is great for star gazing, sitting in the sun or just being at one with nature.
The master bedroom is furnished with a four-poster king size bed in mahogany wood. An intimate smaller bedroom has 2 single beds and offers another view of the greenery surrounding the house (banana trees, coconuts, sugarcane and Pouis). A loft reached by a staircase carved out of the trunk of a massive Saman tree sleeps comfortably 4 persons.
A bathroom with open shower and toilet tiled with local red clay tiles and Ajoupa pottery creations complete the first floor.
A walk around balcony contours the whole house (except the kitchen area).
The downstairs area is a great liming spot for the children; hammocks are available to hang from hooks installed downstairs. The downstairs area has a store room, a toilet and a second bathroom.
Immortelle is a celebration the local hard wood of Trinidad and South America, with intricate fretwork designs carved out of the white and red Olivier walls; the Saman counter tops in the kitchen the
Cedar cupboards and the Greenheart floors.
Immortelle being built of wood is totally organic and alive, so sometimes you may hear the wood creaking or have visits from birds and other friendly forest creatures.
We have a fabulous cook and cleaner who lives in the village, she is available if you don’t feel like doing any housework.
So climb into Immortelle, up the narrow concrete staircase and enjoy the warm, nurturing organic energy of wood in total comfort.

Immortelle is a gorgeous lofted space in a prime location mere footsteps away from the beach, which is just perfect for both ends of turtle season! The house itself is lovely and well equipped. Lots of books, toys for children, board games, fans and a full kitchen set with all appliances. The linens and towels were clean and the living room space was perfect for family liming. We opened up the window doors every time we were at home and chilled on the wrap around verandah. Would definitely recommend and we're sure to be back.

This place was truly a sanctuary. Super close to the beach, you can actually hear the waves. The house itself has beautiful work throughout and was truly very private and relaxing. I enjoyed staying there throughly.

Immortelle Treehouse is a gem in Trinidad. It’s a spacious well thought out structure with ease of access to the best that Grande Rivere has to offer. If your looking to disconnect from the grid and get into nature, this is your dream place. There is electricity, lights and very clean bathrooms. Open the huge floor to ceiling doors and sit back watching “big screen nature”. Getting there- From tobago by boat is a breeze. Driving from Piarco is consistent with going to all the northern range beaches through the winding mountain roads. When your there- check in with turtle village right across the street. Eat at the fantastic restaurant on the corner or get some supplies and prepare your meals in the houses kitchen. Meet and interact with the locals. They are very hospitable and depending on when your there, you may get to enjoy some good tunes on the beach or at the local pub a few blocks away. The host and staff are quick to respond and make sure your stay is pleasant.
