Chez Ophelia Cottage Apartments

Chez Ophelia Cottage Apartments is a self-catering property located in the Picard area of Portsmouth, Saint John Parish, on Dominica's northwest coast. Positioned on a hillside above the coastal flatlands, the apartments offer views across the bay and surrounding tropical greenery, providing a tranquil setting at budget-friendly rates. The property comprises a small number of independent cottage apartments, each furnished with a full kitchen or kitchenette, private bathroom, and a balcony or terrace overlooking the tropical gardens. The self-catering format makes Chez Ophelia particularly practical for families, independent travelers, and those planning extended stays in Dominica, as it removes reliance on restaurant dining for every meal. Cookware, appliances, and basic utensils are provided in each unit. Portsmouth, Dominica's second-largest town, is easily reached from the Picard area by a short drive or taxi ride. Local supermarkets, restaurants, and the Portsmouth waterfront are all accessible nearby. The Picard neighborhood itself is developed relative to rural Dominica, partly due to the presence of Ross University, a medical school, which means local infrastructure including shops and internet services is more reliable than in more remote parts of the island. Free parking is available at the property. Chez Ophelia's position makes it a convenient base for visiting key northern attractions: the Indian River — famous for boat tours through mangroves — is approximately fifteen minutes away, and Cabrits National Park, home to a restored eighteenth-century fort and snorkeling reefs, lies about twenty minutes to the north. Rates range from approximately $60 to $110 per night, making the property one of the more economical self-catering options in the Portsmouth area.
