Catherineburg Villas - North Shore Access by road?

The conversation about next year's trip started last night. We are slowly creeping further and further out and some of the Catherineburg villas interest me.

Are any in that neighborhood accessed from North Shore road? We noticed a few roads shooting off North Shore on the last trip. Hubs isn't wild about Center Line as a means of accessing a villa.

Francis Bay Estate also interests me but at this point, we don't know how many will be in our group and I suspect it will be too much of a house for a small group. Are there any other rentals in that general area?

You can pick up the John Head Road from the North Shore Road. A lot (most?) of the Catherineberg villas are off John Head. John Head is rough though. It takes a long time to traverse it.

Villa Serenity is near Francis Bay Estate. It's 4 bedrooms, so not much smaller than FBE.

When we stayed at Hakuna Matata, we usually left the villa and went down the road to the North Shore Road because we were usually going to the beaches. We took Centerline if we were coming from town though.

It is a bumpy road, but it's not so bad that it would keep me from renting a villa there.

Some friends of ours just rented Villa Peace and Plenty in October and were happy with it and some other friends stayed at Cinnamon Stones while we were at Hakuna Matata, and it was nice too.

I actually thought Catherineburg was a preferable location for us over Gifft Hill because when we stayed on Gifft Hill we ALWAYS used Centerline. I missed those North Shore road drives last summer :cry:
