INTERIOR
A spiritually uplifting interior with a Brazilian Cherry wood floor throughout emphasises the organic feel, along with a vaulted timber roof with natural warm tones. This space is overlooked from a mezzanine by a large bronze Buddha.
The Tea House has an impressive collection of antique sculptures, wood & stone carvings collected from around the world including a baby elephant! Curious musical instruments adorn the walls as well as a piano in the living room.
Kitchen
The Tea House kitchen is an integral part of the open plan design allowing cooking to be both a pleasurable and sociable experience. The central cooker-island with an extractor hood houses an AGA range cooker with 5 gas hobs. This feature 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 nearby. The kitchen is fully equipped with a large double fridge freezer dispensing ice and cold filtered rain water. Appliances include a dishwasher, microwave, wine cooler, juicer, blender and toaster plus all of the electrical devices every kitchen needs.Main Terrace Dining
At the forefront of the house, this dining area is situated between two huge columns supporting the vaulted timber roof – one of the most photographed structures by visitors to the Bay. A large circular glass topped table for 8 people over a circular glass floor section 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. A drop down perforated screen assists the climate when the breeze picks up.
