Nassau Bahamas Vacations at A Stone's Throw Away

A Stone's Throw Away

Description:

At the west end of New Providence lies an exquisite hideaway. A STONE'S THROW AWAY is perched on one of the highest elevations by the coast. Here our Guests can indulge in a rare panoramic view of Nassau's land and sea. The scenery boasts the best of the island's natural wonders, from the native pine forest by Lake Killarney to the brim of the coral reefs that protect the glimmering beaches of west Nassau.

The property was recently built to echo the traditions of an old Bahamian home: wood floors and wood ceilings, louvered shutters and a large wrap around porch bring the visitors back to a quieter time long ago when the music of the islands could be heard in the whispers of the trade winds.

Location:

Off West Bay Street - Nassau, Bahamas
A Stone's Throw Away is located on the hill at Tropical Garden Road & Gambier Heights, off West Bay Street in Nassau, Bahamas. The hotel is minutes from the Nassau international Airport and about 10 miles from downtown Nassau.

Accommodations Available:

The construction of the house was completed in July 2004. It accommodates 20 guests comfortably with 8 private rooms and 2 exclusive suites. Each room has a king size bed, a private bath, air conditioning and a mini bar. The rooms are also equipped with cable TV, DVD and a free of charge broadband Internet connection. The rooms all have direct access to the large wrap-around porch.

The Garden View rooms are located on the ground floor and overlook the gardens and the pool area. The Islands View rooms of the second and third floor allow a panoramic view of the island, lakes Killarney and Old Fort Bay . On a clear day, Coral Harbour located on the southern coast of New Providence looms up in the distance, seven miles away. The Ocean View rooms open up to the largest section of the porch on the ocean side of the house. There, Guests can relax on one of the antique Indonesian teak daybeds or on one of the loungers and admire the most amazing view of the Ocean and the coral reefs that protect the glimmering beach which extends from Northwest Point to Caves Point, a mile apart.

For the comfort of our Guests, we selected the best of Pottery Barn luxurious Egyptian cotton sheets and the highest density towels for unmatched softness. Amenities are supplied by L'Occitane-en-Provence whose Aromachologie line of products blends essential oils and natural ingredients to provide a unique purifying, relaxing and revitalizing experience.

Restaurants/Dining:

In the evening the lounge on the main porch offers the most relaxing and peaceful experience. There, Harriett will probably set up a second bar where she perfects the art of daiquiris and other tropical drinks. Inside, comfortable couches and a honor bar are available to our Guests.

In the morning, a gourmet breakfast is served between eight and ten in the dining room. Chef Jermico will most probably decide to set up a cooking stand on the porch and prepare on demand your favorite breakfast.

About our Hotel Listings
There are thousands of hotel rooms among the Bahamas Islands. They range from simple inexpensive hotel accommodations to all inclusive luxury resorts. Some are good values, some are not.

We know that it's difficult to make a good decision about choosing a hotel in a foreign country when all you have is a list of the hotels.

Because of this, we do not list every hotel in the Bahamas on these detailed hotel pages.

We only list hotels that have been critically selected using a wide range of criteria including our personal experiences, international hotel rating systems, travel press reviews, qualified recommendations from other hotel industry professionals and personal inspections by Bahamas-Travel's editorial team.

No hotel has paid for a listing on this page, although they might advertise on other areas of our website network. Whether or not a hotel advertises on our sites has absolutely no influence on their inclusion in our Bahamas Hotels Guide.

Our Bahamas Hotels Guide is simple to use, yet packed with all the information needed to plan the perfect Bahamas vacation, no matter what type of vacation you desire or what your vacation budget is.
