Overview
Built in the early 1800s this family home, originally occupied by a merchant and his mistress has been restored with empathy and style by its owners. Many of the original features remain and combined with an eclectic mix of modern and traditional features the overall feel is of a comfortable stylish retreat. A private courtyard embraces a cool inviting pool, which is the focal point to this stunning house, whilst the west facing roof terrace offers a magnificent view over the Dutch ramparts and spectacular evening scenes as the sun slides into the Indian Ocean. With an additional terrace off the master bedroom, a family TV room, and three separate living areas there are plenty of spaces to escape to a peaceful corner or relax with a sundowner after a hard days sightseeing, surfing and sun bathing at the nearby beaches.
Accommodation
3 double ensuite bedrooms and 1 twin with 4 poster beds and all fully air conditioned as well as overhead fans. The master suite has a private breakfast terrace.
All 4 bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms with showers. There is a guest bathroom located on the ground floor.
Dining
Whilst breakfast can be taken on the roof terrace a fabulous locally made teak table can be set for up to 12 for more formal dining.A fully equipped and modern kitchen is the live-in house cook. Capable of producing excellent western dishes as well as wicked curries - you may like to ask for chilllies to be on the side. A room-lady who comes daily is also at your service. Indeed all the Eden Villas team will work together to ensure you have a fabulous stay as our guests.
All meals are for your account but with prior notice we can stock up the fridge sufficient for the first day. For other meals discuss your preferences with Arshad who has a menu of ideas and dishes he likes to cook. Thereafter provide him with sufficient cash and instructions and he will shop for you or go to the daily fish or and fruit and veg markets yourself. We recommend you go at least once as the experience can be fun as well as discovering what is available. There is a small supermarket in town as well as the village-shop around the corner in the Fort.
