Teave

Kiired faktid: Selle puidust ja kivist hoone ehitas Jamaica esimene mustanahaline miljonär George Stiebel Devon. Tema lugu tõusmisest orjapojast istanduseomanikuks ja pankuriks inspireerib külastajaid tänaseni.

Esiletõstmised: Hoovi õuel kasvab leivapuu, mis on otsene järeltulija Bounty laeva algsest puust. See on elav mälestusmärk kapten Bligh'le, mehele, kes tõi leivapuu Jamaicale ja muutis Kariibi toidukultuuri.

Sisekujunduse nõuanded

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.
