The Eco Villa was built in 1910 and has been beautifully renovated, keeping many original features and recycling or repurposing much of the timber. All rooms are different sizes and beds can be configured into superking or singles in most of the rooms to suit your group.

The whole house and garden is exclusively yours, we only host one group at a time.

We do have an onsite caretaker who lives in a cottage at the back of the property, you may see them coming and going from time to time and they are available for assistance but will otherwise leave you to enjoy the villa.

You can communicate with us through the app, or by calling the number on the check in sheet in the entry hall.

We are walking distance to the city (5-10 mins to the centre) and 20 minutes walk to the botanic gardens on the other side of the city. Everything is pretty accessible.
