You will stay in The Barn, an apartment behind the main house. You can see the National Parks from your bedroom through a large glass wall at the rear. From the kitchen, you look onto a tennis court, which you are free to use (rackets and balls are available). The accommodation has a super king-size bed in the bedroom. An adult king single bed and/or a single bed suitable for a child can also be set up in the living area. A travel porto cot is also available for an infant. There is also a bathroom with a shower. You can use a fully-equipped kitchen as well as a washing machine and dryer. On the side of the apartment is a veranda where you can enjoy the sun.
Directly behind The Barn is a white building, the 'private outdoor entertaining courtyard', which has a fireplace and an additional kitchen where you can barbecue. Furthermore, in front of the main building where your hosts Brian and Anna live, there is a swimming pool with a jacuzzi 120 metres from the apartment. Wi-Fi is available.
