Description
Jungle Property Rental, 6 Private Cottages, Fully Equip Kitchen on 20 Acres

Hickatee Cottages is a quaint full facility lodge approximately 1.5 miles from the Punta Gorda town. Built in 2005 on 20 acres, it has been created with minimal impact to the environment, and maximum benefit to the community by using local contractors, labor, and suppliers. A small part of
the land had been cleared several years before for small-scale farming and it is only this area which has been re-developed for the Cottages. The ‘lion’s share’ of Hickatee Cottages is in its original natural state, with many large trees and lush vegetation and is home to an array of wildlife – howler monkeys, toucans, hummingbirds, blue morpho butterflies, bats, and several other little creatures!

We are outside of the Punta Gorda city limits and we are off-grid, predominately solar-powered, with comfortable rooms, a low-key relaxed atmosphere and custom service for any group travel need.

Hickatee offers 6 cottages house ranging in size. Each house has its own entrance and en-suite facilities, including fully screened windows for excellent ventilation, ceiling fans, hot showers, hammocks on each verandah and comfortable beds. The facility also includes a separate house for the gathering area. It includes a bar, dining area, kitchen facilities and library! We have plenty of seating to relax with a book from our library or sit at the bar, and to come together for a group meal on the outdoor verandah. Group travel packages can include catered meal services or a fully equip kitchen should your group prefer to self-cater.

Additional amenities at Hickatee Cottages include:

• Private use of grounds, nature trails throughout the property
• Access to on-site splash pool
• Access to adjoining butterfly farm
• Use of cruiser bikes
• Complimentary WIFI
• On-site hosts, including nightly security

An Enchanting Off-Grid Paradise: A Stay to Remember at Hikatee Cottages
Our stay at Hikatee Cottages in Toledo, Belize, was pure magic—a true slice of paradise! The property is a vibrant oasis, brimming with colorful flowers and lush greenery that feels straight out of a dream. One unforgettable moment was spotting the rare and exquisite black orchid, Belize’s national flower—a breathtaking experience for any nature lover. As the tropical sun set behind the treeline, ... more the resonant calls of howler monkeys echoed through the rainforest, creating a mesmerizing, otherworldly ambiance that made us feel deeply connected to the wild beauty around us. What made Hikatee Cottages even more special for us was its fully off-grid setup, perfectly aligning with our values of sustainability and eco-conscious living. Its secluded location, a bit out of the way, only added to its charm. We cherished the peacefulness and sense of privacy that came with being tucked away in such a serene, natural setting. The grounds are a haven for serenity and exploration, featuring a beautifully crafted walking path that meanders through the rainforest. Each morning, we indulged in peaceful walking meditations, accompanied by the gentle symphony of birdsong and rustling leaves—a soul-soothing way to greet the day. The cottages themselves are thoughtfully designed and incredibly comfortable. The beds were wonderfully cozy, ensuring restful nights surrounded by the calming sounds of the rainforest. When we arrived, we were delighted to find fresh-cut flowers in each room—a thoughtful and beautiful touch that instantly made us feel at home. The main house features a full-service kitchen, which was perfect for preparing meals and enjoying them in the company of the stunning surroundings. The property is adorned with stunning artwork, making every corner feel like a unique discovery. And to top it all off, the full bar offered a delightful space to relax in the evenings, where we could sip on our favorite drinks while soaking in the magical atmosphere. None of this would have been possible without Allison, the truly amazing host who made our stay unforgettable. She was warm, welcoming, and always available to meet our needs. From her prompt responses to her thoughtful gestures, like the fresh flowers, Allison’s kindness and dedication elevated our experience in every way. Hikatee Cottages exceeded every expectation and left us in awe. Whether you’re seeking peace and quiet, an immersive connection to nature, or a cozy, art-filled retreat, this is the place to be. We’re already dreaming of our return to this enchanting, off-grid paradise!
