Private cottages on a 3-acre orchard in Sarteneja, Northern Belize, with horses roaming the property. Birdwatching, sunsets over the bay, open all year.

Welcome to Horse Cottage

Wake up to horses grazing outside your door.

Horse Cottage sits on a 3-acre orchard at the entrance of Sarteneja, a fishing village in Northern Belize. Our two horses, Duna and her daughter Shiva, roam the property, and the trees are full of parrots, hawks and other birds.

Formerly known as Backpackers Paradise, we have welcomed travelers since 2006 and we are open all year round.
