The house and two cottages, all in Balinese style, sleep 26, fully staffed and cost an arm and a leg. New in 1999 was the Bali Cliff open-sided bedroom and bathroom, made in Indonesia and re-assembled on the island. In 2000 a Balinese beach pool and dining pavilion were constructed. Lovely beaches, protected by a coral reef, tennis and watersports provided, private. Powerboat from Beef Island, 40 minutes, expect to get soaked, or go by helicopter, or boat from Virgin Gorda, much quicker.
