We are pleased to welcome Riverside Canvas Lodge, the first lodge to open in the Caribbean under the Pura Vida / Caribbean Canvas & Tents programm.
Riverside Canvas Lodge has started this week (August 20th) building the decks and bathrooms while the different canvas cottages are on order from our various selected manufacturers worldwide. All material should be delivered end of October and the lodge will be open for its first guests end of November 2009. 3 Months total only!
Set amidst Citrus Creek Plantation (www.citruscreekplantation.com) alongside the Taberi River in la Plaine - Dominica, the lodge will have all its canvas cottages on hardwood decks and some on treetops above the River.
There will be a total of 7 cottages from the "Native" line (Wigwam, Tipis and Gazebos) , and 2 more luxurious ones from the "Safari" line (Okavango and Serengetti).
For a total investment of 192.000 $ including all supply, installation , bathrooms with solar Water heaters , furniture and a complete solar system, Riverside Canvas Lodge is a 9 room turnkey lodge ready to operate in 3 months.
At an average nightly rate of 80 $ (50 to 150 $ depending on the cottages and location) and a 30% occupancy rate, this should give Riverside Canvas Lodge a 35 % return on investment! Not bad ! And this does not take into account the additional business given to Riverside café serving the residents meals everyday.
This is a typical Pura Vida canvas investment available anywhere in the Caribbean.
