There is a large landscaped garden with a purpose-built brick barbecue. Also provided is a sheltered gazebo in which there is a table and chairs seating 6. The gazebo is fully netted to protect yourself from mosquitoes and flies so is perfect to eat in or relax at night star gazing. The swimming pool is 9m x 4m with Roman steps and the garden and pool are exclusively for your private use.
Coast/Beach
