POOL COURTYARD AND POOL LOUNGE

"Should be called “Paradise Manor”
Alex & Stuart Botha - Bryanston Johannesburg

The sheltered central pool courtyard features a sparkling plunge pool, sun loungers, unbrella-shaded tables and chairs and a generous supply of fresh towels.

Adjoining the courtyard, the pool-lounge provides instant shade and comfortable cane furniture, an honesty bar and shower facilities (ideal for early arrivals and late departures).
