Traum House is an oasis nestled in sleepy St. Augustine, the perfect respite for any traveller. Traum Housr is one of the few properties bestowed with a name in Trinidad. Legend has it that it was given to a German who escaped Nazi Germany and he named it Traum, German for dream to represent the solace and security he felt here. In honor of the legacy of Traum we have named the rooms after our ancestors: Goodar, Moonia, Kowlessar, Madan & Raimoon and parents Roopnarine and Romasha. Roopnarine "Roop" (a room in Traum House) is beautifully furnished, air conditioned and comprises of a room safe. Guests can expect to cook delicious meals in our spacious and well equipped kitchen, breakfast materials are provided. Breakfast can be requested (when there are more than 5 guests staying at Traum) and is served between 7.00 am and 9.30 am. Breakfast is based on a fixed menu (scrambled eggs, sausages, local jam, cheese, toast [white or brown], local fruit of the season, juice, and hot beverage-coffee and/or tea). Management may offer an additional Caribbean breakfast dish. To avoid food wastage, breakfast quantities are determined on prior requests of guests. Our guests can also relax in hammocks on our porch and enjoy the cool Caribbean breeze or take a dip in our swimming pool or perhaps borrow a book from our extensive library and relax poolside. For guests who would like to remain active while enjoying their stay, guests can walk, run or jog around the neighborhood and enjoy the fresh breeze and central views of Santa Margarita.
