Known for housing local and international celebrities, this three-storey house is ideal for private luxury getaways, family holidays, weddings, or corporate executive accommodation. 

The house is over 3 levels, the top level contains 1 master bedroom and ensuite with twin showers and a beautiful extended bathtub looking towards the ocean.

All rooms in the house have either a Queen or King size bed.

Located on the Main floor is the open plan, fully appointed gourmet kitchen containing a large island bench, and state-of-the art amenities. There is a spacious living room with fireplace, with interior and balcony dining areas, with plenty of seating for formal and informal meals and a deluxe gas BBQ on the balcony.
