The Master Suite is housed within a self-contained bungalow with a soaring thatched roof, and located on the far side of the main living pavilion. It is accessed by a pebbled pathway lined with yellow irises next to a sculptured Palimanan stone wall. The ’Nandi’ bedroom boasts a grey terrazzo floor and a magnificent four-poster bed adorned with primitive-style Timorese carvings. The silk bed cover and cushions, and organza curtains follow a copper and chartreuse theme, and the furnishings include three green Oriental rugs, a leather sofa and matching ottomans, a funky table, and an antique Javanese ’gerobok’ &rice-storage chest on wooden wheels. A wood carving of Ganesha dances upon a shelf behind the bed. Double glass doors open onto a timber balcony offering rural views; this is a pleasant private spot where you can relax on a deck chair with a book or a cocktail. Another large window overlooks a pretty garden area, also accessed by double doors. The room is equipped with air-conditioning, a mini bar-fridge, a safe deposit box, and a flat-screen TV mounted on the wall; a spacious dressing area is furnished with a full length mirror, built in cupboards and a leather seat. The wonderful en-suite garden bathroom boasts a terrazzo vanity shelf with a marble wash bowl, a large decorative mirror, and a toilet and rain-shower positioned in opposite alcoves. The dominant feature is a huge oval bathtub where you can soak to your heart’s content under the stars, while still being sheltered by the roof canopy and enjoying the privacy that is provided by the high walls.
