Guest access
You have access to the Spa House for your exclusive use during your stay. It has a Jacuzzi spa/hot tub, table and chairs, an outdoor lounge setting for relaxing and taking in the views and Acapulco chairs for lounging in when you’re drying off. (We provide beach towels for spa use.) Also enjoy the chiminea to toast marshmallows (provided) or just warm yourself and enjoy the outdoors by the fire on a crisp Autumn or Winters day. We have a BBQ for your private use too. On the property we have goats, quail, chickens and a cat. Please do not enter any gate or paddock with the goats. They are happy with a pat through the fence, but watch out for their horns! As we have livestock on our property you may see one of us at feeding time or when we lock up the chickens. If you would like to feed the animals, a time can be arranged.
