The fully appointed kitchen was designed with entertaining in mind and has views far across the Tasman sea. It’s a pleasure to light the wood fire, put on some music and prepare a meal as the sun sets through the windows in front of you

Dining takes on an expansive feel when seated at the hand crafted Eucalyptus and Matai table built for twelve. There’s plenty of room to entertain and make a night of it or simply enjoy a romantic evening for two. The beautiful bathroom is perfect for those who like to draw a hot bath and soak in silence before retiring to a comfortable bed and falling asleep to to the sounds of nature.
