FACILITIES
Our facilities include a large swimming pool surrounded by a wooden pool deck overlooking fabulous views which gives you the feeling of sitting among the trees - an ideal spot to grab the binoculars and birdwatch! A resident brown-hooded kingfisher is a delight to watch as he bathes in the garden birdbath!
The cosy bar and lounge (with satellite TV) is also a comfortable place to relax at the end of a day for a sundowner or drinks before dinner. Our 3-course table d’hôte meal is prepared using only the freshest of herbs, vegetables in season and quality meats, fish and poultry for our discerning guests. We also welcome pre-booked outside dining guests who may be looking for that special place to enjoy an evening out in quiet, ambient surroundings.
