Nearby attractions: 

The bus stop at the top of Radnor Road allows guests to roam the island at will, and the walk to Shelly Bay (about 5 minutes from the house on foot) provides for some of the best snorkeling on the island. The Supermarket is a 8-minute walk from the property. Flatts Aquarium is a bus ride of about 5 minutes heading west, and the Crystal Caves are the same distance heading east. Our bus stop is a leisurely 5-minute walk from the house. Maid service can be arranged, please inquire for more information.

Bus transportation into Hamilton or St. George’s takes 15 minutes on Route 11, one of the island’s most frequent services. Shopping in the neighbourhood includes a supermarket at the Shelly Bay Plaza. Grocery stores also sell liquor, wines and beer. Drycleaners, a pizza parlour and a Post Office are nearby. Flatts Village is five minutes away by bus (and is delightful village) with nice places to eat (Rustico’s is particularly enjoyed by locals and visitors alike), gift and other shops, and the Aquarium and Zoo with Geological Museum which are well worth a visit. Sports activities include tennis courts (which can be booked at reasonable rates) at Grotto Bay, which is five minutes away by bus.

Nearest convenience store is Twins Variety on Flatts Hill – open early and till late evenings, and Harrington Hundreds Grocery – 5 minutes from Flatts on bike, and a veritable emporium of delectable imported goodies. The Specialty Inn on South Road at Collectors Hill is a 5-minute moped ride from Flatts for family style eating in unpretentious but comfortable surroundings.

Harrington Sound is ringed with gorgeous homes overlooking the placid waters of the sound. One can snorkel comfortably there or play with the parasail company that operates in the sound. There are fine dining establishments nearby such as the renowned Tom Moore’s Tavern and the Swizzle Inn for drinks and snacks. For leisurely tours on your mopeds exploring the glorious countryside of Tucker’s Town with its spectacular homes is always fun as is the remarkable Verdmont Museum high on a hill overlooking the south shore. 

Hiking is enjoyable at Ferry Reach and St. David’s Head, two of the larger and more interesting parks. There is also Spittal Pond Bird Sanctuary and endless coastline areas to walk, the Railway Trail and the sumptuous Parks of the south shore. Consult the map for clearly marked areas and consider purchasing the Davidson book of Bermuda Hikes as listed on the website. There are many wonderful books on Bermuda at the Bermuda Book Shop in Hamilton near the policeman’s Bird-cage and the Irish Linen Shop on Front Street.

Swimming and snorkeling are good on most beaches. However, Shelly Bay Beach 5 minutes from the property is very safe, never has an undertow (as do many of the more turbulent South Shore beaches) and the caves around the headland offer excellent snorkeling. John Smith’s Bay is lovely as well, and Clearwater Beach out in St. George’s near the old NASA station is legendary. You may chose to wend your way along the South Shore all the way out to the fabled surf of Elbow Beach, Horseshoe Bay and Warwick Long Bay- its a spectacular drive with astounding views around every corner. 

Tobacco Bay in St. George’s is a great beach year round – sheltered and with marvelous numbers of fish. Diving, sailing and windsurfing are all available at Grotto Bay Resort which is nearby and at other facilities around the island. See our website for these and many other useful services.
