Great sensitivity has been applied to the design of the 85 rooms. They are all deluxe bungalows, individually built high on timber poles, looking out through the canopy of trees. The designs utilise natural materials and finishes, such as granite, timber and cotton, to create harmony with the environment, whilst offering the highest standards of comfort, personalised service and privacy. Each with air-conditioning as well as ceiling fans, private verandahs, IDD phones, TV, mini bar, tea and coffee facilities, full height wardrobe, generous drawer space, hairdryers and each bathroom has a separate shower and bath.
