Hear...the blissful peace of a lazy tropical environment, punctuated by the relaxing sounds of pounding surf, swishing palm leaves and chattering monkeys.

Feel...the calming, tropical trade winds that caress this lushly landscaped property and sway through the breezy bungalow.

Smell...the salty ocean mingled with the citrus and floral scents from exotic tropical island flora.

Taste...the explosion of sweet juice from a freshly cut mango or orange, or the delightfully exotic milk from a coconut right on the property.

Enjoy...breathtaking views of cliffs and oceans, of casarinas, norfolk pine and palm trees all exquisitely co-existing among the luscious hibiscus and bourgonvelia.

Enjoy...the refreshing coolness of the pool, or the tranquil sway of the hammocks as your eyes delight in the multiple of gorgeous views from the large deck.

Experience the ultimate of the tropical Bajan experience, in a refreshing way, as an integral part of the island's authentic lifestyle.

Luxuriate in western amenities of a king size bed, air conditioning, a "Balinese" washroom, a gourmet equipped kitchen, an outdoor dining room that seats ten.

Tropical Paradise

We absolutely loved our stay at Rabbit Hill. The property is even more beautiful than the pictures portray. The house is very comfortable - the front porch is amazing! We received a courtesy call from the owner a couple of weeks before we arrived, and he imparted some very useful advise. The staff is wonderful and went out of the way to make us comfortable. We enjoyed watching the monkey troupe most mornings and every late afternoon... they would feed from the fruit trees while the little ones played on the lawn and in the trees. Floating in the pool, dozing in the hammocks, early morning coffee and late afternoon cocktails in the lookout, and as another guest said, toodling around the southeast corner of Barbados. So many wonderful people to meet and beautiful sights to see. Hiking to the Atlantis for lunch along the shore and having Winston drive us to the Oistens Fish Fry were two definite highlights. Our only regret is that we could only stay for a week. We will not make that mistake next time!

Paradise of nature

Rabbit Hill was amazing, Just as described, it was an idyllic retreat in a natural, beautiful garden. We stayed for two weeks and hired a car from Scotty’s for 3 days during our stay. They were great. WIth the car we visited St Nicholas Abbey and rum distillery, the WIldlife Reserve and Gun Hill Signal Station, east coast beaches, Bridgetown including the Barbados Museum, Oistins for a fish lunch, Hastings for a great wine shop, Speightstown for the beach and lunch, Holetown for the best supermarket (Masseys) and Harrison's Cave. We got the bus half way to Bathsheba and walked the rest, stopping at Andromeda Botanic Gardens on the way. In Bathsheba we visited Dina’s bar for lunch, Uncle Joe’s for an afternoon fish cutter sandwich, De Garage bar, Zemi Café for a drink and we got a taxi to the Atlantis Hotel restaurant for a wonderful birthday dinner. We also had a couple of visits to the Old Brigand Rum Shop bar near Martins Bay where we were made to feel like locals, enjoying local cooking, rum and world cup football on the big screen with the local customers. The house was amazing, feeling like a home from home and we were well looked after by the staff (Agnes, Sandra, Winston and Anderson). Winston the gardener caught up with us every day but was not intrusive at all. He picked fruit and kept us topped up with coconut water as well as helping us with advice on buses and where to visit. We spent many an evening on the veranda with restful jazz and cocktails. The pool was immaculately clean and bigger than it looks in the photos. You really have to be there to appreciate the true beauty and size of the garden. Having a stroll around the garden and exploring all the nooks and crannies was part of the beauty of the place. It was amazing waking up and laying in bed looking out over the Atlantic Ocean with green monkeys climbing over the balcony and a nice cool air conditioned room to chill out in. The green monkeys are fascinating to watch but need to be discouraged from the house but they were no problem at all as they are very wary of humans and will run off if they see you. Things we would do differently next time: be better prepared for the mosquitos and other biting insects (apparently it was a particularly bad year for those this year - Nov- Dec 2022), get our main shopping from Massey’s at Holetown (it’s further than Six Cross Road and it’s an international supermarket rather than a local one but the range, prices and experience was much bett

Perfect getaway

This place was simply amazing! We were a little nervous about driving but it went really well and just need to remember go slower than the locals. The kitchen was incredibly stocked with kitchen items. I have rented quite a few places and not nearly as impressive as this. We missed the grocery store on the way out as we were concentrating so much on driving so that was the only unfortunate thing. Agnes directed is to a little local spot that really had been closed 20 minutes but they did cook us some fish, fries and a salad. We were able to make it back to the place in the dark. We truly went around the entire island enjoying popular sites. I enjoyed coffee every morning looking out at the amazing view and waiting for the monkeys to scamper by. Winston would bring me limes each morning for my vodka cocktail later in day. Both him and Agnes were so friendly. We truly will come back here and want to stay longer next time. Loved items that were left over to use like sunscreen, shampoo etc in case one forgot. We left items in the fridge as well. Such a fabulous place. Thanks Tom for sharing your paradise home.

About the host

Hosted by Tom Neuendorff

We are a Canadian family who has owned and used this beautiful property for the past 20 years. Rabbit Hill in Barbados was always by far our children's favourite holiday destination.
The shared family memories serve them well now as young working adults with limited holidays and less time to visit the island. Over the past few years we have decided to rent our home selectively to others who appreciate tropical nature in all its glory.

Why they chose this property

Barbados is a beautiful island with lovely people we consider ourselves fortunate to have a property on the island where we have our privacy yet be only short distances from fun activities be it gorgeous beaches,golf,hiking,horse back riding,sailing ,dining or any number of other wonderful activities the island offers its tourists.

What makes this property unique

The constant breezes and surf sounds of the Atlantic Ocean are truly intoxicating!
Immediately outside of our drive way it's a hikers paradise with walking trails along the rugged Atlantic coast that an experienced hiker/renter commented are some of the most "photogenic walks" he had been on.
