Both room have wooden finish and have a loft with sleeping arrangement for 1 person. Perfect hang out for kids and young at heart.

On the ground floor there are orchards and gardens. Surrounded by mango, leetchi, walnut, guava, and plum trees - the cottage is a favourite haunt of myriad birds. Wake up each morning to spy the red billed Blue Magpie, the purple Sunbird or the great tit as you sip your morning tea. Sit under the leetchi tree and read, count the boats on the lake or simply watch the clouds roll by. The kids can read books from the library or potter about the land and try their hand at digging out onions or cutting salad leaves for dinner.
