The Horizon Suite

The HORIZON suite, on the middle level, is the most expansive in size. It faces north and features a private terrace plus Juliet balcony and a separate living room with a sofa that doubles as a pull-out bed.

Situated to take full advantage of its northern exposure, the Horizon Suite will present you with daytime views immediately overlooking the gardens and beyond to the northern suburbs. Night-time views are made up of city and suburb lights as far as the eyes can see.

Complete with shower, double vanity, and corner bath, the HORIZON Suite bathroom is a very private space to call your own and an indulgent fit for a honeymoon couple, an anniversary celebration, or any occasion that calls for a breakaway splurge.

This room includes a private courtyard that invites you to quietly unwind and savour the companionable solitude.

The Cottage

Contrasting urban views to the north and a taste of the cliff side beyond scattered trees to the south. More classically furnished to create a homely vibe, this hideaway was specially created with potential for self-catering longer-term guests.

The Cottage is your home away from home, especially if you’re planning to stay a bit longer. Dominated by its cliffside position you have views to the north and south, and into a private garden. This self-contained suite is surrounded by beautiful views at all times of the day and night.

The double bedroom includes a pull-out sofa bed, and it has a separate bathroom (with shower, basin, and toilet), kitchenette (with dishwasher, convection microwave and 2 electric plates), terracotta terrace, and private courtyard.
