Staying with Jane and her staff at Cook’s Oasis was a treat. There were convenient food options on either side, a liquor store across the street, and a store in a short distance. Compared to many parts of the island, this is a really central place to be if you are or aren’t renting a car. I was on foot and it was ideal. I’m also a solo female traveler, and Cook’s Oasis was a safe, and friendly place to be. Staying here means supporting a local family rather than a big company, and the folks are really lovely!

We had Villa 8 which was upstairs with two large bedrooms, good sized living, kitchen and bathroom and a return verandah. It was lovely being elevated and the area was a great size for us and our two adult boys, 21 and 24. The covered verandah made for even more space. It was great to have a BBQ on site and free use of laundry facilities. We loved being able to walk down to the beach so easily. The beach is stunning and often there was no one else on it. Very easy stroll down the beach to Black Rock. We did hire a car and the on-site parking was appreciated. Overall we thought Cooks Oasis was great value for money and suited our family really well.
