PERSONAL LUGGAGE

What should I take?

  • Travel light! Local airlines can be very strict when it comes to charging for excess baggage. If you are travelling long haul in premium classes, your extra baggage allowance may not be acceptable on local flights.
  • It is a good idea to carry some small denomination US dollar bills for tips etc.
  • Hill Rise House has limited closet facilities.
  • Leave your valuable watches and jewellery at home!
  • Swimming attire is necessary when our staff are on the premises and always on the beach.
  • Swimming towels are not normally provided, but if you leave yours behind, our housekeeper will come up with something!.
  • Our housekeeper will rotate your clothes through the laundry.
  • Ladies may like to dress up for evenings out.
  • Long pants in the evenings for gentlemen.
  • You may need a little extra warmth on winter evenings.
  • Don't forget your personal medications if required. The local pharmacies may insist on a local doctor's prescription for certain items.
  • Sunscreen. The sun can burn even if the skies are overcast. Don't spoil your vacation!
  • Insect repellant. Biting insects are normally not much of a problem at Hill Rise House but you can be unlucky under certain weather conditions. The bedrooms are screened, but you have to remember to close bedroom doors before dusk. Insecticide spray cans (not for personal application) and coils are provided. Elsewhere on Nevis, bugs can be a problem, so wear protection especially in the evenings.
Other reminders:
  • Personal stereo and/or CDs (there are a few CDs in the house) We have a Hi-Fi system which will plug into your mobile music player.
  • Camera(s) - Please ask before filming local people.
  • Paperback books (there are quite a lot of books left by other guests - please leave yours behind if you have finished with them!)
  • Laptop and/or other devices which need an internet connection.(We provide a complimentary ADSL internet connection - wired or wireless)
  • Drivers Licences (you will need to present your drivers licence to purchase a local driving permit)
  • Tennis racquets and balls if you are serious tennis players. (otherwise make do with what you find in the house)
  • Beach balls, floating beds, snorkelling equipment etc.
