A bookcase provides contemporary reading along with local and international garden books and magazines. Television, video, fridge, radio and electric blankets are provided.

French doors lead to a courtyard surrounded by a curved mud wall which provides privacy and seclusion. A waterfall cascading over basalt rocks into a small pool creates a restful ambience in the courtyard.
