Crayfish Bay is located on the North West Caribbean Coastline of the Island of Grenada, West Indies, well away from the regular tourist areas. Severely Damaged by Hurricane Ivan in 2004, this idyllic retreat has been lovingly restored over the past ten (10) years and is now fully restored as an operating organic cocoa estate with a small chocolate factory. The estate has two cottages that offers self-catering accommodation for back packers, adventure tourists, nature lovers and chocolate enthusiasts. During the 17th Century the estate was know as "Non Pariel" which when translated means - as without equal or without parallel. Non Pariel was the site of a large French Molasses Factory and some of it ruins and artifacts are still visible today In the 18th Century Non Pariel came under British rule and was renamed Crayfish Bay and became a working cocoa estate. Presently at Crayfish Bay Organic Estate we offer offer accommodation to those who would like something different from the usual beach resort holiday. With its off the beaten track and back to basics atmosphere it provides a truly authentic Caribbean experience. Crayfish Bay is run by a mixed batch of people. Kim, an English drifter who washed up on the Island twenty-six years ago, Lylette, his over-imaginative partner, and Gabri, a local gentleman who takes charge of the farming side of life. There are seven buildings on the estate, as you enter the property. On the left you can see a wooden construction with drawers underneath on runners, these are the drying drawers for the cocoa. The next building on your right is fondly called "Chicken Shack" it is our informal 'hang-out' spot and has a small living space with one bedroom, kitchen and a Studio apartment and bathroom below. Opposite ‘Chicken Shack’ is our tiny Chocolate factory where we now spend much of out time making our delicious chocolate which is rapidly gaining notoriety among local and visiting chocolate lovers. The big white house is a Bucan and this is where we live. In addition, you have complete access to the estate where you can chill out, learn about chocolate making or walk through the farm drinking in the intoxicating bounty of nature and refreshing yourself at the waterfalls. Fresh fruit in season is often available from the farmhouse, as well as fresh eggs. If you need freshly made bread just ask us and we would be happy to make it if our schedule permits. Then there is the workshop to the left of the Bucan. The wooden house above the workshop is the "Little House" with two bedroom, shared bathroom, outside kitchen and a very big balcony. The Little House is set up specifically for guest accommodation. Finally, above the Chocolate factory and overlooking everything is the 'Tree House’. which is also set up for guest accommodation and is listed on AirBnB as well. As the name implies the house is located amounts the trees and gives a spectacular view of the Caribbean sea. Guest at Crayfish Bay Estate are free to be a part of any activity on the estate such as cocoa picking, turning cocoa and tramping cocoa.
