Outside, the deck with a covered veranda leades to a heated infinity pool which blends in beautifully with its natural surroundings.  For a 'James Bond in the Bush' experience, take the flight of stairs leading to the sunset deck for a drink, where you can soak in the Jacuzzi whilst looking at the stars (all on no timetable and with no intruding strangers!).
