Description

Circa 1920. Feel rejuvenated after a visit to this 1920 Craftsman-style heritage-listed house on a delightful half-acre of lawns and gardens. It has been lovingly restored and is furnished with antiques and handcrafted furniture. The walls are accented with international works of art. Enjoy afternoon tea in the airy Wintergarden or in the shade of a fruit tree. Sit by the fireplace in the lounge, and sip sherry or vintage port before dinner. Guest bedrooms feature goose-down or silk-filled duvets and rubbed pine, rich walnut and polished chestnut furniture. Stay in the Under the Apple Tree suite with a fireplace in a sunken sitting room, private patio and jetted air tub for two. Each morning, indulge in a creative multi-course breakfast of the world’s traditional dishes.
