ACCOMMODATION
Generosity - of space, appointments, architecture, time - and everything you need to be comfortable: including fast WiFi, a Sound System zoned inside and out, video and book library, TV projector, Flat Screen TV and Board Games.
The Lodge at Lansdowne Farm is a campus on a coastal "bench". The big Warren and Mahoney designed Common House is the gathering and dining place. Along with the Library and Bunkhouse Rooms the Common House is the core of the Lodge campus. The three charming, free-standing Cabana Rooms are optional add-ons that make the total of six double bedrooms.
See full description below.
The Common House
Purpose-designed for friends, family or colleagues. Glass doors fold back to sheltered decks, linking to bathrooms, laundry, six double bedrooms, the grounds. No walls – the furnishings move! If configured for catering the Common House can comfortably seat up to 70 people for dinner and then dancing.
The kitchen
Whether you're self-catering or booking a caterer, the Lodge's kitchen facilities have everything needed to cook up feasts of epic proportions. This includes a stainless cooking and prep scullery and an open kitchen, 2 ovens, 2 fridges, 2 dishwashers, large cupboards and a full complement of quality pots and pans. For 12 persons the Lodge provides table settings, platters, cutlery, glasses and plate ware. Most guests choose to self-cater by arranging a trip to the supermarket before arriving. But if you'd like a caterer to take care of the culinary then we can arrange that or make a recommendation.
The Library ROOM
Once the homestead's lounge, the book-lined Library is free-standing now. The little building with its woodwork, its fireplace and views make a delightful room. The videos, books and board games all on offer are yours to enjoy.
The Bunkhouse ROOMS, North and South
Two large rooms each with a luxury ensuite. Both rooms have a wood-burning fireplace, sweeping views and detached privacy. King beds.
The THREE Cabana ROOMs
Add 1 or 3 Cabana Rooms to increase your guest group above the 3 bedrooms that come with renting the Common House and campus. Each Cabana Room has its own decks, complete with stainless bench and sink outside, spectacular views, a retractable awning, closets and drawers, internet repeater and queen bed. Guests use the Main Bathroom.
A modest add-on price for each occupied Cabana applies.
