The seven rooms are located in the main house and set amongst the foliage. Each room is incredibly spacious and elegantly furnished along a Colonial Indian theme with coloured silks and antique Indian pieces. The bathroom is as big as the bedroom and features an amazing freestanding granite bathtub, complete with champagne glass holder, book rest and separate rain shower.
