Great River House is a 5 bedroom villa. It is located in a private gated neighbourhood of exclusive villas in Jamaica. The entire property is fenced and entered through wrought iron gates. This ensures complete privacy. Grounds include a hard-surface tennis court and a spacious lawn for badminton and croquet. Fruit trees enhance the manicured lawns. Royal Palms, citrus and pimento trees are gently lit each evening. The property is rented with a full compliment of staff. These include chef, butler, housekeeper/laundress and gardeners.

Great River House was built in 1956 by a member of the Dupont family. It was renovated in 2008 by modernist architect Tom Reed. Further enhancements were made in 2015. The property is elegant with an expansive pool terrace. There is state-of-the-art technology at the villa. This includes wireless internet throughout, and cable televisions.

Locally-crafted mahogany furniture reflects an old Jamaica ambiance. This is complemented by contemporary designer fabrics. Thers is a chef’s kitchen, and Kohler en-suite bathrooms with water tiles.

Interiors are distinguished by artwork by famous illustrator Arthur Taylor. There are also George Rodrique and original botanical and Jamaican watercolours and oils adorning the walls. The large serpentine pool features an infinity waterfall edge and fountain. It has an expansive stone terrace and divided shallow children's pool.

Candlelit dinners are served in an interior air-conditioned dining room. From here guests may enjoy a view over the pool and its infinity edge to the sea beyond. Meals may also be served al fresco on the 2,400-square-foot pool terrace. The chef treats guests to fresh fish and grilled lobster. A firm favourite is jerk pork and chicken prepared on the property's own jerk drum. Farm to table fruit, herbs and avocados grown on the property.

Various nooks and crannies are thoughtfully provided for individual escapes. A flower-filled side courtyard with out-door shower offers a special hideaway. This is perfect for rejuvenating spa treatments on request.
