A hidden gem in the beautiful area of Matura
My friend and I had the pleasure of staying at Kobani Kawana in Matura. A home away from home, I would say. Our host arranged for us to watch the Leatherback turtles nest, mere minutes from where we were staying. Whether you are a nature lover or not, the place and surroundings make you feel at home.
The cozy two-bedroom cottage featured an indoor/outdoor shower - so refreshing! The living room looks out onto the pool and offers views of both the rising and setting sun. The kitchen was outfitted with all the necessary items needed to cook our lunch, including a grill.
All in all we had a wonderful time and made friends with our host dog, Rowdy, who enjoyed our company.

I just LOVE this cottage!!
It is artfully put together, with much thought and obvious expertise! Nigel (owner) is so welcoming and skilled! We have had great fresh juices, barrel/dirt oven pizza prepared by him, and meals organized if desired. Kayaking is a must, if possible. An amazing experience!! I would go once a month if I could!!

The pizza from the dirt oven was fantastic
I have been looking at YouTube videos on the whole thrust towards tiny house living so it warmed my heart to see one of the modern ones built in Matura, Trinidad and Tobago. 🇹🇹 Great going at setting that trend! I just loved the simplicity of the place although it had a pool and all the modern amenities.

Inhale peace and exhale happiness!
Located in the village of Matura, Trinidad, Kobani Kawana is THE perfect setting for a weekend getaway. Take an early morning walk and spend time (never wasted) among trees: a line of Cedars here, stately Silk Cotton there, and Mango flowers everywhere!
Explore all the village has to offer - bird- and turtle-watching, charming cottages, environmental NGOs, foodie delights, friendly dogs, kayaking adventures, forest hikes. Relax in the pool and delight in the natural setting, as Hummingbirds alight on nearby feeders, a Smooth-billed Ani perches on a Moringa tree and Yellow-crowned Parrots greet each other while flying.

Kobani Kawana is a paradise I didn't expect
Kobani Kawana is a paradise I didn’t expect, nor did I have any clue actually existed. My visit was that of a ‘day stay’ . This involved hiking to Mermaid Pools, followed by a relaxing poolside chill. My return is certain, and my family and friends are definitely interested. I’ll simply say, ‘try it, you just may love it🙂.
