Hickatee Cottages is a quaint jungle property rental approximately 1.5 miles from the Punta Gorda town in Belize, Central America. 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, and more!

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 cottage houses ranging in size. Each house has its own entrance and en-suite facilities, including fully screened windows for excellent ventilation, ceiling fans, hot/cold showers, hammocks and comfortable beds. The property also includes a separate house for the gathering area with a bar area, dining areas, 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. Travel packages can include catered meal services along with the fully equipped kitchen to accommodate self-catering and catering needs!

Additional amenities at Hickatee Cottages include:
• Private use of grounds, nature trails throughout the property
• Access to on-site splash pool
• Complimentary WIFI
• On-site hosts, including nightly security
• 100% off-grid; solar-operated
• Fans in all cottages, No Air Conditioning
• Free Parking

The Toledo District has so much to offer any traveler. We assist with tour packages as well as offer recommendations for self-guided tours - Go snorkeling, fly fishing, visit Maya Archeological sites, jungle hike, cave and kayak, river-tube and zip-line, head to the Belize Spice Farm or visit a cacao farm. Depending on interests, budget and preferred travel style there are options for all!

Note: The rental fee includes full facility use, including the cottage houses, the main dining house, use of kitchen facilities and private use of property grounds and splash pool. Catered meal plans can be made available to any group at a per person cost. Housekeeping laundry services also available at an additional fee.

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, 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 cottages were thoughtfully designed with cozy beds for restful nights. Allison, the amazing host, greeted us with fresh-cut flowers in each room, a gesture that made us feel so welcome. The main house featured a full-service kitchen, perfect for preparing meals.The grounds are a haven for serenity.With stunning artwork, a tranquil bar area, and Allison’s warmth and attentiveness, Hikatee Cottages far exceeded our expectations. It’s a must-visit for anyone seeking a peaceful, eco-conscious getaway. We can’t wait to return to this enchanting retreat!
