O atrakcí

Rychlá fakta: Ovu građevinu od drveta i kamena podigao je prvi crni milioner Jamajke, George Stibie Devon. Njegova priča o usponu od sina robova do vlasnika plantaža i bankara i danas inspiriše posjetioce.

Zajímavosti: U dvorištu kuće raste stablo hljebnog voća koje je direktni potomak originalnog drveta sa broda Bounty. To je živi spomenik na kapetana Bligha, čovjeka koji je donio hljebno voće na Jamajku i promijenio karipsku ishranu.

Insider tipy

Enter the house first while it is fresh and cool, and save the ice cream for the end of your visit.
The best photos of the front facade are taken in the early morning hours, before 10 AM, when the light is most beautiful.
Skip the guided vehicle tour of the estate, you get much more by exploring the rooms on your own.
Bring a hat and water, there is not much shade in the garden during the midday hours.
