The luxurious Koi Suite is located on the ground floor, just off the dining verandah, with direct access to the wide lawn and a little picnic area under a tree. The bed is super-king size, and the spacious suite features both an indoor and outdoor seating area, plus a classic book cabinet with a selection of books.

There is a large TV here with satellite connection (as in all the rooms). There is also a DVD player and a collection of movies for a lazy evening indoors. There is a writing desk and a chair.

The huge French windows lead straight to the Koi Pond and waterfall, possibly the best place in the house for a cuppa while listening to the plop of the fish in the water and the bubbling stone ’egg’, which attracts many beautiful birds.

As in all the suites, there is a large dressing area and a very large bathroom. It has a private garden that only residents of the Koi Suite can look into.

The heart of the villa is a double-height living room. Summertime has three suites: the Koi Suite, the Coral Suite and the Sunflower Suite.
