Taxi to and from Cara Lodge
Rides in and out of Cara Lodge, the 1840s heritage house on Quamina Street, priced before you book.
Cara Lodge, at 294 Quamina Street, began in the 1840s as two colonial family homes, and one of them was home to Georgetown's first mayor. It has taken hotel guests since 1996. The guest book runs from the Prince of Wales, later Edward VIII, who planted a sapodilla tree in the garden in 1923, to Jimmy Carter in 1996 and Prince Charles in 2000. The building has no lift, so mention heavy cases when you book and the driver will help with them to the door.
Arriving at the wrought-iron gates
Pin 294 Quamina Street and the car stops at the front gates; the same ironwork runs along the railings and the verandahs. Check-in is from 2 pm and check-out at noon, according to the hotel, so a morning arrival on an overnight flight may mean leaving bags at the desk. For dinner, The Bottle Restaurant and The Patio Bar are on site.
Cara Lodge to either airport
Quamina Street to CJIA measures about 41 km on the app's routing, about GYD 20,500. Off-peak it takes 45 to 55 minutes; on a weekday afternoon with traffic leaving the city the same trip ran close to 90 minutes, so give a departure plenty of margin. Ogle Airport, for Kaieteur and interior flights, is about 10 km, about GYD 4,600.
