O znamenitosti

Hitre informacije: To stavbo iz lesa in kamna je postavil prvi temnopolti milijonar Jamajke, George Stiebel. Njegova zgodba o vzponu od sina sužnjev do lastnika plantaž in bankirja še danes navdihuje obiskovalce.

Poudarki: Na dvorišču hiše raste drevo kruhovca, neposredni potomec originalnega drevesa z ladje Bounty. To je živi spomenik kapitanu Blighu, človeku, ki je prinesel kruhovec na Jamajko in spremenil karibsko prehrano.

Notranji nasveti

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.
