Our newest addition to the Garden House is a sumptuous recreation of the glorious days of the Rajah. It boasts a thousand details that ensure the illusion is complete. From the bunch of bananas that seem to have been harvested from the banana tree growing in the corner or the flaming torches outside. The Rudyard Kipling Suite invites fantasy and the ancient bound volumes of Kipling’s works scattered throughout add to the spell. Even the surrounding landscaping of palms and tall grasses invites comparisons to the jungle.

July 28, 2012
It's the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bussel of daily life. Views are awsome and service was unique. First time staying at a B&B, but definitely not the last.
5 out of 5A very special place!
May 15, 2012
We had a truly delightful two-night stay - we wished that we could have stayed longer. Clare and Henry have managed to create an Inn that is elegant and refined whilst at the same time still being cosy and welcoming. The suites and bedrooms are charming and individually furnished with obvious care and attention to detail - they've even thought about the magazines and books they've placed in the rooms! Having breakfast brought to your room - silver cutlery, cut glasses and white napkins - with the choice of eating it in the room or on the balcony with the stunning view of the trees and mountains, was a real bonus (the food was very good too!). The grounds have also been planned to take full advantage of the views and to create areas to walk through or sit and relax. Henry and Clare are excellent hosts, nothing is too much trouble for them and they truly go out of their way to ensure that you are comfortable and enjoy your stay. They are charming and fascinating people and it is worth staying at the inn just to chat to them! Highly recommended!

Outstanding Inn! Clare & Henry Hoche were the best hosts and we've experienced many. We will be back and recommend to our friends.
5 out of 5Very Accommodating
November 06, 2011
We are so grateful to Henry & Clare for going out of their way to accommodate us during a serious family illness. The Inn was so private and restfull. The suite is gorgeous with every need met. The fireplace glows from the bedroom and bath. The deep soaking tub was so relaxing. The breakfast of very fresh fruit and special quiche was delicious. The country side around the inn was in its height of autumn colors.
