Experiences
First and foremost, we want guests to experience the ultimate luxury – the art of doing nothing. To ground themselves again and to take the time to simply be. To be reminded about what is really important in life. For them to be immersed in a feeling of tranquillity. To really take time to drink in the breathtaking, raw beauty of our piece of West Coast paradise and to enjoy it as much as we do. For the more adventurous among us there are plenty of activities too.
It is about offering our guests a full and authentic experience of our beautiful coast; experiences we hope will live in their memories long after they leave and that will encourage them to return for more.
