Spread across the main house and a variety of garden villas, there are 10 rooms in total. Decorated with antique wooden furnishings and quaint, framed sketches, all are simply lovely. At the centre is a netted canopy bed, and French doors open onto a private terrace. In the main house, the bathrooms are especially large and have walk-in rain showers and dual sinks. Some rooms enjoy a private garden, while the largest room in the Garden Villa can accommodate four guests.
