A five star romantic one bedroom cottage, exclusively designed for couples seeking a destination to relax and rejuvenate in total seclusion.
Capturing all day sun, the cottage includes three patio decks all set among beautiful gardens. Mirrored glass windows give that added feeling of privacy. This also attracts the birds to preen themselves in front of the mirror glass allowing for close up bird watching.
The master bedroom with ensuite opens out to the cottage garden and private patio. French doors lead to the outdoor spa bath hidden by bamboo screening and green foliage. With a couple of glasses of bubbly, it’s the perfect way to unwind at the end of the day.
The upstairs relaxation room is another place to escape to and is especially good for viewing birds from. Here you may pre-book a therapeutic massage or reiki energy healing session. Adjoining the living area is a recreational area, where you can try your hand at table tennis or throw a dart or two.
