For travellers not as familiar with the island, here's some very helpful information on its location. The property is geographically located in the eastern part of the island. While this may not appear to be "central" it is actually located minutes away from most of the key attractions visitors to Bermuda come to enjoy, including our famous pink beaches, Crystal Caves, the town of St. George's (a UNESCO World Heritage site), water sports, horseback riding, fabulous restaurants, spas and everyday conveniences like fully stocked grocery stores. If you want to get away from it all but still be close o it all, this is the perfect place to be. Hamilton is a 25 minute drive away and for $4.5 for a ferry token, even the extreme western end of the island, where you find the Royal Naval Dockyard, can be reached in 45 minutes or less.
