smart bedroom

The hotel has smart bedrooms in contemporary colonial style, plus a few two-bedroom bungalows with their own plunge pool.

Stay outside these fortress walls and you'll find modern, whitewashed hotels, smart bedrooms, white-tiled bathrooms and all-you-can-eat dining rooms.

The smarter bedrooms (all are in contemporary style) are across the cast-iron bridge, which spans Villiers Street and leads to an extension built in 1879-83.

A 19th-century oak staircase brings you to a first-floor landing, from which you reach three smart bedrooms with high ceilings, polished beech floorboards and original doors and mouldings.
