Both bedrooms are designed to be light and airy, with French doors that also open onto the decked area. The master bedroom boasts a luxurious king-size bed and an ensuite bathroom, while the second bedroom features twin beds and a pristine ensuite shower room equipped with a large walk-in rain shower.
