The Tea House has an impressive collection of antique sculptures, wood & stone carvings collected from around the world including a life size baby elephant, curious musical instruments including a piano plus intricate Balinese wall panelling which collectively add to the property’s unique character.
Foyer
This is the centre of the house where the pool table is situated and leads to the Main Terrace, Guest Terrace, Darjeeling Room, Communal WC, Living Room and Kitchen.
Kitchen
The Tea House kitchen is an integral part of the living open plan design within the heart of the house allowing cooking to be both a pleasurable and sociable experience.
The curved stone wall backdrop of the kitchen has windows along its entire length with views of lush tropical hills and has extensive green marble work surfaces and huge twin granite sinks. All of this is supported by the custom made kitchen furniture and fittings.
The central cooker-island and overhead extractor hob face the foyer and houses an electric AGA range cooker with 6 gas hobs and grill. This transforms the kitchen into a social area where the chef can interact with guests seated at the surfboard shaped breakfast counter as well as folks playing pool.
The kitchen is fully equipped with a large double fridge freezer dispensing ice and cold filtered rain water, dishwasher, microwave, wine cooler, juicer, toaster plus all of the electrical devices every kitchen needs.
Living Room
The living room also has beautiful vaulted ceilings, fans and a vented roof to allow the warm air to rise creating a natural cooling convection system. Folding timber doors slide open onto a balcony overlooking the pool which allows a wonderfully refreshing Atlantic breeze to flow through. Rear double doors open onto the BBQ terrace completing an even more desirable through breeze.
The lounge furniture is adaptable and provides comfort in a magical place to enjoy a movie on the huge HD (blue ray) projection area and surround sound Dolby system. Cable TV is also an option.
Main Terrace Dinning
Positioned between the two front columns, this is one of the most photographed structures from the bay and offers the perfect scenario for dinner guests. A large circular glass table for 8 people with a circular glass floor section to the underside provides an ideal social setting. The lighting is fabulously ambient at night and also illuminates the vast roof space above.
A constant breeze with shade ensures refreshing comfort whilst watching the many vessels sail into the bay. Enjoy the lights of the Bay and fibre optic lighting displays from the pool below coming to life as the night begins to set in.
Bedrooms
2 Double Bedrooms, 1 Family room (Double or Twin Beds with Bunkbed), 5 Bathrooms – (Sleeps 8)
Master Bedroom (Earl Grey)
The Master Bedroom is situated within the wonderful roof space of this magnificent building. The feature vaulted ceiling is a thing of beauty to gaze up at whilst lying on the unique king size four poster rope bed complete with mosquito net – all entirely suspended from the ceiling. When you climb aboard, it gently sways – such a wonderful way to drift to sleep – just for a moment – listening to the rope’s soporific ship-like creek.
The room also has 3 ceiling fans with a vented roof, double walk in wardrobes and a free-standing oval bath. The room looks out over Marigot Bay through the roof space of the foyer and dining terrace as well as across the rainforest hills to the rear from the bathroom.
Two sweeping curved walls lead down a gentle slope into the en-suite bathroom which has a WC and bidet as well as twin showers decorated in relaxing natural toned mosaic tiles & twin round porcelain sinks mounted in a long granite counter.
Guest Bedrooms (Jasmine and Darjeeling)
These two spacious bedrooms are next to each other on the Caribbean side of the house both sharing a large furnished terrace with a magical view over the Bay.
The high vaulted timber ceilings here naturally allow cooling airflow and are enhanced with wooden ceiling fans and a vented roof. The walls are decorated with colourful original local artwork and wooden carvings.
Both rooms have beautifully designed en-suite bathrooms which overlook the lush garden and ravine to the rear and have double sinks and showers adorned with playful mosaic tiling.
Jasmine has dual aspect views to the Bay and Caribbean Sea and sleeps two in a generous king size handcrafted Indian teak bed. The windows and doors also have louvered shutters with mosquito netting allowing a pleasant through breeze.
Darjeeling overlooks the bay and sleeps four with a handcrafted hardwood king-size double which can convert to 2 single beds. Adjacent to this is one large custom built bunk bed (IE – 2 adult size singles above and below) making it an effective family room.
