Front Bedroom
The front bedroom, also with a queen-size bed, features views of the bush to
the west. It also has a soaring vaulted ceiling with custom trusses for an open
and spacious feeling. All windows are curtained so this is a good choice for
those who like it a little darker when they sleep.
A full bathroom (below) with separate tub/shower/toilet is adjacent to the front
and middle bedrooms.
Flexi Room
A third bedroom (pictured below) can sleep up to six. The ground floor has a
Super King bed that can be split into two singles if desired. In the loft, four
instantly inflatable and extremely comfortable Aerobeds are available. The loft is
ideal for older children and adventurous adults, and contains a large carpeted
platform, accessible by ladder, with LED lighting. This room opens onto the
terrace via sliding glass doors, so you have light from both sides (also curtains).
A Spa Experience
The en suite features a two-person shower (for friendly couples) and two sinks.
A few steps from the en suite is the
outdoor tub. Bring out a bottle of wine
and enjoy an outdoor bath for the
ultimate in relaxation at the end of the
day, listen to the bird sounds, or when
it’s dark, gaze at more stars in the
night sky than you could ever count.
