The ground floor rooms have a rope screen for security at night over the front “windows”.

Every room has a super king sized bed but these can be made into twins for children sharing. Walk in mosquito nets provide protection at night.

The en-suite bathrooms are complete with a bath that is built into the frame of the house, hand basins and stunning waterfall showers.
