Relax in your own private Summer House and romantic al fresco claw foot bath

Summer Cottage guests enjoy the exclusive use of their very own private Summer House hidden in the far side of the gardens, complete with its beautiful romantic al fresco claw foot bath perched on the deck. The Summer House is reserved exclusively for Summer Cottage guests and is located on the site of the original Kauri Villa, established over 150 years ago. Now only the original chimney breast and fire place remain. A pot belly stove, gas bbq, tables and chairs as well as of course the beautiful bath make the west facing Summer House the perfect place for relaxation as a couple or with friends.
