Our dear friends Clemens and Nancy von Merveldt have been seduced back to Chris Blackwell’s Island Outpost Hotel group to manage the amazing Strawberry Hill Hotel in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. The setting is so spectacular it is hard to describe […]

Friday 12th December saw the Christmas Party for the Exceptional Learners at Tippy’s in Eleuthera. This is the third year we have had a pizza and ice cream party for the children and staff at Christmas – with presents and singing ! This year the children gave a wonderful performance of ” Santa Claus is coming to town” – with […]
Saturday 6th December saw the latest Flea Market in Governors Harbour Eleuthera. The weather , thankfully, stayed dry and there was a nice breeze so we didn’t fry in the heat ! Nine people took stalls and sold a variety of goods – plenty of household goods , Christmas decorations, clothing and shoes – and of course Matty Pinder and […]
Donating blood here in Eleuthera is a very simple but vitally important process. Under the auspices of Chris and Alison Gosling – the two fantastic people who are at the heart of HACE – the Health Association of Eleuthera – the blood bank people come from Nassau twice a year for a blood drive. This has been going on for […]

It was organized by Kalin Griffin of The Lighthouse Center – she lives in Governors Harbour and is developing a wonderful business and following her life’s path of holistic health. She teaches yoga herself as well as being a very […]
Some of you will know our house – Buena Vista – here in Governors Harbour Eleuthera. This is one of the oldest houses certainly in Governors Harbour if not on the island. We bought it when we moved here just over 10 years ago and it was in a very sorry state – almost too far gone – but just […]
Out of season – as we are in Eleuthera right now – is a time to enjoy the quiet of the island. Most restaurants are either closed or closing this week – there are still some visitors but nothing like the usual amount we see throughout the rest of the year. Instead we are cooking delicious fresh caught fish and […]
Next in the series of Best of Eleuthera we take a look at a new venture – Eleuthera Community Farms. Nearly everybody who either lives here or spends any time here is always looking to be able to find fresh fruit and vegetables – ideally locally grown. Awareness of the vital importance of fresh produce for a healthy lifestyle is […]
Yesterday I saw this amazingly colored bat moth caterpillar right here in Eleuthera – it was at least 3 inches long … Orange and lime green – two of my favorite tropical colors ! It was not alone either. These fabulously colored caterpillars turn into bat moths – or money bats as they are sometimes called. Amazing that something […]
People often ask me about shipping goods to Governors Harbour – this is how we do it in Eleuthera ! With the rental homes we have at Governors Estate I often have to bring items in so the first step is usually for me buying the goods on-line. Next they are delivered to our fantastic freight forwarder Tony Poletti at […]
