Generally speaking the terms "rustic" and "architectural flourish" aren't used to describe the same dwelling but in this case it's a perfect union. Simultaneously relaxing and visually stimulating the Persian Silk Pavilion (so named after the beautiful Persian silk tree growing just outside the kitchen doors) is the perfect place to relax, refresh and, if you're so inclined, to get creative.
We spent 3 nights here across New Year's Eve reading, sipping tea (and, it has to be said, champagne), playing backgammon, listening to LPs, going on bush walks and sleeping in. It was perfect.
The bed is almost criminally comfortable, as is all the furniture, and the house itself is something you can just sit back and let your eye wander over for hours.
As for the hosts, they couldn't have been more lovely or accommodating.
If you're looking for a unique, romantic, relaxing destination this is your place.
