overlooking Rodney Bay and Gros Islet.

Castries and 90 minutes from Hewanorra airport. We
have three self-contained self-catering units for holiday rentals. The map shows the Gros Islet junction (Point A) and La Panache (Point B). We are part of the Cas en Bas Road community which is a mix of locals, tourists and residents with holiday homes. We are a 5 minute (400 meter walk) down to the Castries highway and frequent buses to Rodney Bay and Castries.

We have two studio apartments and one two-bedroom apartment. Each is quite separate and has its own entrance and balcony with great views. In addition we have a reception lounge. We no longer have a bar or restaurant but there are many within a short distance. However we can put breakfast ‘kits’ into rooms for US$4/person for arriving guests. The kitchen area has a three burner gas stove, fridge with freezer compartment, microwave, kettle, coffee-maker and toaster and the usual pots, pans, utensils and cutlery. Each unit has a shower with hot water, wash basin and toilet. Fixtures and fittings are simple but rooms are comfortable and clean. They are cooled by powerful fans (but of course guests arriving from a cold winter will take a day or two to adjust). One studio has air-conditioning. Electricity is 220 volts; we have adapters but cannot for safety reasons provide 110v transformers (except for small electronic items). Rooms are changed and cleaned twice weekly; guests wishing a daily service will pay a 10% service charge. Rooms are insect-screened and beds have mosquito nets although these are not normally required. There is free Internet access in the reception area and the rooms. A computer is available in the reception area Each unit has its own character and we give more details below to see which might suit your needs. |

| Amanda studio is hidden away up some steps. It’s more rustic than the other rooms, with a kitchen on the balcony and two small balconies facing Pigeon Island. It is liked by the young and young-at-heart! It has a double bed at one end of the long narrow room with a couple of small beds built in to the walls at the other end, popular with young children. |  more pictures of Amanda |

A comfortable apartment. A splendid view – what more could we hope for? - Absalon family, France I have been a regular visitor since 1996. That must speak volumes - Doby, UK Sorry we didn't have a chance to say a proper good-bye, but the taxi arrived early and we were off to the airport. Needless to say, our stay at La Panache was everything we hoped. Your generous spirit made us feel right at home and left us wanting to return. I will happily recommend your guest house to anyone thinking of going to the Caribbean - Warren and Donna, USA Très agreable séjour – la “Routard” à dit vrai - Famille Valtier Great place with a beautiful garden. We will miss Henry’s laughing - Doris and Helga, Germany Came for a week- stayed three and had to be kicked out in the end. Thanks to everyone for our best honeymoon so far! - Paul and Kate, UK One whole month at Henry’s and Roger’s place, it could not be better! Fantastic hospitality at a great location- when we return on the Arc Race again one day, we’ll be back at La Panache - Harald and family, Norway
