I was pleasantly overwhlemed to know the extent of effort Nirvana helped my boyfriend plan a surprise private dinner on the garden verandah for us. The service and food was excellent. Highly recommended. The estate itself was a memorable experience. More

While on a cruise to St. Kitts, we had the best experience. Not only was our five course lunch cooked for us personally but the gardens and the history of the original plantation were breathtaking. A beautiful place for a wedding. More

This place is worth visiting. We visited Fairview Great House & Botanical Garden as part of an excursion during a cruise. The place takes you back to a different time. It is beautiful, quiet, relaxing and boasts a great view of the Caribbean. Anyone, visiting St. Kitts to see the island should definitely come and visit this place. More

This was a wonderful afternoon! We enjoyed the tour of the house and grounds, and then we were brought to a delightful room with tables that were set for lunch with colorful placemats, cloth napkins and fresh flowers. We took our seats facing a professional cooking island, complete with suspended mirrors for optimal viewing. The chef was so pleasant and... More

What a different way to spend our one day in St. Kitts. While many went to the beach, we did something out of the ordinary within a gorgeous setting. We were picked up at the port -- all arranged by Kiran (the owner's daughter) via emails. Just email her at kiran@nirvanafairview.com ad she will promptly reply to you. The Caribbean... More

If you don't see the Great house while you are in St Kitts, you've missed the most interesting part of holiday life in St Kitts. The salads are brilliant...topped with honey and nuts....yummy. We enjoyed drinking wine and chatting about love and life around the pool. The botanicals..OMG, I've never seen any place in the Caribbean like this. colourful flowers... More

Went on a Friday for dinner, only 4 of us where there. The service was superb, the food was very delicious; different of what you get around st Kitts. Try the crab cakes for appetizer. For entree I went for the stuffed lamb (not crazy about it) but it was good. As side dish request the polenta because it is... More

This was one of the many places we visited recently when family members came to visit from Cuba. It was not what I expected, a newly built house and young gardens. The floor in the red dining room was dirty where people had walked earlier. The surrounding atmosphere was just lifeless. There was nothing that stood out for me, no... More
