Description

Welcome to Casa Kiwi where there is something for everyone. We are the only place in Trujillo truly set up for backpackers, whether you want to relax, play or just meet other travelers and best of all; we're right on a secluded beach. Even if you don't consider yourself a backpacker you will find Casa Kiwi very clean, comfortable, all rooms with full bathroom facilities, safe, and incredible value right in the beautiful bay of Trujillo.

Our newly built complex of budget accommodation, bar, restaurant and internet cafe is situated in large grounds with spectacular views and ensures you peace and quiet not found in town. Read: No cocks crowing at 4am with the adjoining dog barking chorus! We also boast having the best spot in town for watching the sun go down over a cocktail or two...its right out in front of the bar (and beach). If you're into sunrises then they are available as well - although you do have to leave the bar for those.

Come to Casa Kiwi and we will do our best to make your stay in Trujillo a memorable one. Trujillo has much to offer; whether it's the Capiro - Calentura National Park, cool waterfalls, fishing, snorkeling, the Guaimoreto Lagoon, Garifuna villages along the coast, blobbing on the beach or just propping up the bar. It's all within easy reached, or stumbles, depending on your time in the bar…

It was on August 14, 1502 that Christopher Columbus landed on the shores of Trujillo Bay and there is a local joke that upon leaving, he told the local people not to do anything until he got back… and they haven't. Come and see for yourself if it's true.

If you're looking for a place to hang your hat in the Caribbean for a while or the money bag is getting a little low, then consider staying with us and helping out. Don't hesitate to contact us if you're interested or, just show up at the bar.

Location/Contact

Address	Carretera Puerto Castilla, Trujillo, Honduras
Location	•If you're coming to Trujillo by bus, get off at the bus station next to Texaco and either wait for the bus for 'Puerto Castilla' or take a taxi. The last bus leaves at approximately 6pm. The bus you need to catch will come from your left or along the same side of the road as the bus station. Just tell the driver you're going to Casa Kiwi and he will drop you at the entrance where it's a short walk down to the restaurant. You can also take a taxi, most know where Casa Kiwi is; otherwise, tell them "Mal Paso." Taxis 'should' charge you Lps.50 if there are others in the car going to Castilla, otherwise Lps.100. The town center is approximately 400m from the bus station in the opposite direction. There are reasonably frequent 'Urbano' buses running past the bus station to and from town, although they do not come to Casa Kiwi. There are direct buses between La Ceiba, San Pedro Sula and Tegucigalpa. Smaller, slooooower 'chicken' buses run between Tocoa, Limon, La Ceiba and Sava to mention a few. • By car, it's even easier. No matter where you are coming from, you need to use the road from Tocoa and you will come to the 'Triangulo' or Trujillo turnoff. Instead of turning left towards Trujillo, continue on the road to Puerto Castilla. We are exactly the same distance from the Triangulo as Trujillo. You immediately cross the bridge over the Lagoon and drive for 5 km, where you will see the sign for Casa Kiwi. Turn left into the entranceway and drive towards the beach until you get to the restaurant and bar

Hostelz.com Guest Reviews

Had a good time After traveling for a few months Casa Kiwi was exactly what I needed. Things were a bit slow with very few other guests so I had pretty much the entire staff waiting on my beck and call. The beach was clean and great (bio-luminescence in the water at night was amazing) the food good, and the beer super cold. I was only going to stay two nights, but ended up staying for five. A great place to chill out and relax a bit. — Anonymous , USA (2010-05-24)
