Description
The Garden Cottage, located on the host’s property, is an annexe featuring 3 en-suite bedrooms, each furnished with a choice of king or single beds. All bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms fitted with showers, and the third bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom fitted with a bath, shower, and toilet. The second and third rooms can be connected via a Jack & Jill bathroom, making the cottage ideal for families, or the connecting door can remain locked to keep the rooms separate. Each room is equipped with ceiling or wall fans, mosquito repellents, and beverage stations with milk, coffee, and tea options. The covered veranda provides a comfortable retreat from the sun or rain and can be enclosed for added safety, making it suitable for families with toddlers. As the property is also the host’s home, visits from friends or guests in other cottages may occur, and they may use shared entertainment areas. Guests at the Garden Cottage can request exclusive use of the property by prior arrangement. The property has 6 dogs that provide security, and only dog-friendly guests are welcomed. Guest pets are not permitted. Some of the dogs interact with guests and may swim, so children should be supervised around them. The dogs’ movements are unrestricted within their home. Smoking is allowed outdoors, and guests are free to smoke in designated areas.
