Staying over
Nobody who has been celebrating should be driving
Four executive villas, on the property. Not enough for everyone, and not meant to be. Enough for the people who travelled furthest and the two of you.


Four villas

Four executive villas
Each en-suite and self-contained
A family travelling together, the bridal party getting ready in one place, or the people who drove furthest.

Your own front door
Self-contained
Each villa is separate and self-contained. Most often the bridal party getting ready together, or a family who would rather have their own front door.
In every room
- En-suite bathrooms
- Air conditioning
- Complimentary Wi-Fi
- Plush bedding and linen
- Coffee and tea making facilities
- Daily housekeeping
Room rates depend on your dates and what else you are booking, so we send them with your quote rather than publishing a figure that may not apply to you.
Worth thinking about
Who should actually sleep here
The elders, first
They have been on their feet since early morning and they are the people who should not be in a car at midnight. This is the single best use of a room.
Your parents
Both sets are usually the last to leave, long after the dance floor has thinned out.
You, on the morning
Getting ready on the property removes an entire category of stress: no traffic, no hotel checkout, no convoy.
Not your university friends
They will happily share a lodge in town and have a better night for it. Give the rooms to the people who need them.
