Approaching the house, this grand residence greets you with delicate lavenders, box hedges and feature plantings of Magnolia grandiflora. However, it’s in the rear yard where the owners of this property really wanted to create something special.

This Balinese inspired garden was designed to give them Resort-style living without having to leave their own home. The amazing alfresco area opens up on to a magnificent travertine stair that leads you to the bali-hut and further on to the tranquility of the secluded spa area.

With the mature plantings of bromeliads, palms, and ferns you would be forgiven for thinking you were actually sitting around somewhere in a tropics. Together with a simple lighting scheme and complete with its very own hand carved reclining Buddha this garden is a real triumph.
