This apartment is a perfect place to stay. Very clean, well fitted and very cozy. Everything is cared very well and you see the love to detail what makes you feel comfortable as soon as you step in. The location of the apartment gave us the privacy to feel like home and still in short walking distance we reached both beaches and all the other things we needed.
Stephen and Rita were great hosts. They were there whenever we need anything, but we also had our own privacy to enjoy Castara, which is a beautiful little fishing village. The place itself had everything we needed. The view from the balcony was incredible!!! If you are a nature lover, you would really enjoy this jungle-like setting. Moreover, the location itself is great. The beach and the restaurants...
My husband and I booked at the last minute looking for somewhere to relax for a few days. Stephens communication was prompt and efficient and he kindly arranged pick up from the airport. The accommodation is in a great location, with a lovely view and beautiful gardens. Stephen and Rita were on hand of we needed them and gave us great tips for dinner, the sights and getting around. We had a lovely,...
My family and I had the best 2 weeks on holiday I think we have ever had as a family and that is largely down to Steve and Rita and their property. The accommodation was even nicer then what it looked in the photos, we felt safe, close to everything but far enough away from the parties and the bars on the beach! We felt Steve and Rita struck a perfect balance of giving us our privacy but being on hand...
Staying at Tadpoles was a brilliant Tobago experience. I know that this is aimed at the budget market but it really does have everything you could need. Well equipped kitchen and a comfortable bed. The shower has hot water. The WiFi is also reliable. The addition of a veranda at the back really makes this place. Great for sitting out and having a drink whilst listening to life going on around you....
It was my first time to Tobago, but the 6th for my partner who couldn't wait to return after many years. To be honest when I first arrived I wasn't sure about anything, but by the time we left I could happily have stayed much longer. Toad Heights keeps you fit with the steps (which was good) and there was privacy. We loved the birds, lizards and the various other wildlife which appeared on our balcony...

Terrific location - at the quiet end of the island - apartments are very clean and cozy and have very nice kitchens and showers. A short walk brings you to the secluded beaches, the most beautiful I have ever seen with clean sand and clear water! Steve and Rita are wonderful hosts - had a brilliant time here!
My family stayed for three nights in Castara with Steve and Rita as our hosts. We had a wonderful time! The house has such a welcoming feel, and is very unique and comfortable. There were many great destinations within walking distance, such as beaches, restaurants, a waterfall and shops. The beach in Castara is beautiful! Steve and Rita went above and beyond as our hosts to ensure that we were comfortable...
Everything about our stay was excellent! Steve and Rita are great hosts who went above and beyond to ensure that our needs were met. The house is amazing and in such a beautiful location. There is a lot within walking distance in beautiful Castara, such as a waterfall hike, the beach, restaurants and shops. Our family had a wonderful time!
This may just be the best villa in Castara. Perched on a hillside with a rainforest in the back and sea views in the front, it is ideal for birdwatching, having a drink on the verandah, and watching the sun set. Steve and Rita are extremely helpful and can arrange transport and trips as well as give tips on when and where to eat. The home is beautiful inside. The beds are comfy, the house is well ventilated,...
Beautiful setting , lots of hummingbirds , motmots,agoutis and a fabulous view of the Caribbean Sea. Quite a walk up the hill from the beach but just keep your fridge stocked with the local beer for when you return, Andy from the local bar even delivered us crates to save us carrying them up the hill. Steve and Rita are great hosts and were fun to chat to and have a rum with in the boat house on heavenly...

Tadpole's, of Toad Hall in Castara, is the perfect little cottage, a short walk from the beach (uphill on the way back). The house is a small, artsy home. It has all the necessities, including hot water!! The outdoor verandah is perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or spending the afternoons chatting. A perfect find for the budget traveler. Stephen and Rita are such beautiful people and hosts....
If you are looking for the perfect "fake" Resort get away, with satellite TV, air conditioning, strategically placed palm trees and swim up bars, then this is not the place for you. However, if you are open to staying in a quaint local house that is true to the area in design and feel, and natural vegetation, than this is a nice choice. We were welcomed by the owners Steve and Rita whom we saw regularly...

We loved staying here, on the edge of the rainforest, with great views from the verandah to the sea and to lush forest. The house is spacious and airy and provided with everything you will need. The owners, Steve & Rita, live nearby and could not be more helpful, arranging airport transfers, outings, catering to our every whim! There is lots of wildlife in the garden, with lovely birds, bats, agouti,...
A group of five of us stayed at Castara Villas in Leapfrog and Tadpoles after carnival. It was a lovely haven of chilled out countryside after being in hectic carnival in Trinidad for 2 weeks. We loved being amongst the rainforest and appreciated the natural environment, the chickens, cats, agoti and beautiful hummingbirds. We also visited waterfalls which you could swim in about 10 minutes walk from...
Me and my partner stayed in the studio apartment Leapfrog late January-early February 2015. We had been in Charlotteville the week before, and Steve was really helpful, asking if we needed a transfer organising. Even during the initial enquiry stage Steve was super responsive to all emails, and this made life a lot easier. Our taxi back to the airport didn't show up, so Steve very generously gave us...
We have just stayed for 18 nights in Leapfrog and have had the most fantastic holiday. Do not apply if you are looking for pampered all inclusive style accommodation; This is something different! But if you want a genuine Caribbean experience ( and we lived on Dominica for 6 months many years ago ), then this is the business. Castara is beautiful and in our experience has the best swimming on the island...

We spent a total of 3 weeks at Castara. Of these 3 weeks we stayed one week in Leapfrog and the remaining time in Toad Heights.Toad Heights was definitely the better choice! Prior to our arrival we had close contact with Steve, who then also offered to pick us up from the airport. That was great because we were not as initially familiar with Caribbean customs. However, this has changed rapidly, especially...
Wonderfull days for our family at Toad Heigths. Situated a little up hill we got the feeling of being in the "jungle". The kids exploring the nice garden and getting amazed by the gekkoes, fireflies, agouti, fruits and all the colorfull birds. Nice and spacious for the six of us - perfect settings for the siestas. Friendly neighbours and very helpfull hosts.
Where do I start? We spent 6 nights at Leapfrog and loved our entire stay. It was in little rain-forest of it's own. We hear and see lots of birds and other animals like colourful lizards and aguti. Leapfrog was also surrounded by lemon, lime, mango and banana trees. Although it isn't right on the beach, one can still have the view from the stairs leading up to Toad Heights. Better still, the bathing/snorkeling...
