Kalebaskreek is a fishing village[3] on the Coppename River. The village can only be reached by boat. It is located about one hour upstream of Boskamp.[4] The nearest village is the former leper colony of Batavia which is located 15 minutes downstream.[4]
The school of Kalebaskreek used to be located in a building of the Moravian Church. In 2014, a new school was constructed.[5] The clinic in the village is operated by the Mungra Medical Centre in Nieuw-Nickerie.[6] In 2019, a waste incineration plant was opened in the village.[7] The village chief as of 2018 is Conchita Alkantara.[1]
