The Waterfall Villa
is unique in the sense that it manages to successfully combine the
exquisite natural features of the location with simple and stylish,
luxury accommodation, high-end modern technology and a level of
creative imagination that makes this an extraordinary and unique villa.
The
Waterfall Villa occupies an exceptional position high up on the
mountainside with truly scintillating views over the ocean, the
surrounding islands, the Marine Park and across to the mainland. The
two main focuses of the villa are firstly, creating the feeling that
the house belongs in this tropical environment and actually embraces
the natural features of the location. Secondly, every opportunity to
enjoy the spectacular view is maximized by the practical layout and
innovative design features.
A winding private road takes you to
the entrance which sits above the property. From here a pretty stepping
stone pathway leads down the right-hand side of the pavilions that
provide the incomparable accommodation. At first it’s hard to imagine
that there’s a home here at all. The curve of the path and the
extraordinary natural rock formations make the property almost
invisible. As the path turns you’re eyes will be pulled away from the
view to a large antique double doorway. Above this you’ll see the
ornate and traditional looking roof structure of the master-suite. On
entering the suite the walls in the open corridor are white plaster
with wooden pillars and a vaulted wooden ceiling which add a natural
contrast. The thick rustic walls don’t go all the way to the ceiling
which helps to create an atmosphere of space and light. To the right is
the bedroom area and to the left is a very unusual and attractive
bathroom suite. Literally built around the rock formations that
existed before the house, the bathroom has all the excitement and
anticipation of entering a secret cave. A high round window overlooks
the room, open views to the left look over the wall, the bedroom and
out to the sea. On the right, high windows also help to fill the room
with natural light. Twin glass sinks set on a wooden surface give a
modern touch to such a natural bathroom; the large bathtub and shower
are actually built around and between two granite outcrops which ensure
complete privacy. Coming into the master-suite area will take
your breath away. A large four poster bed appears lost in this
expansive room that is simply furnished with a large rock rising
through the polished wooden floor. A stone day-bed has been set into
the rock turning this natural feature into a beautiful and practical
furniture item which enables you to relax and enjoy the views through
the windows which run across the whole front of the room or even be
used as a meditation table. Doors on the right lead to an
outdoor garden shower and pocket doors open to a large balcony wrapping
around the front of the room providing valuable outdoor space. From the
balcony you can view the enormous granite rock that falls from the
master suite and down below the aesthetically pleasing and unusual
crescent shaped roof structure of the living area. The panoramic views
and the sound of a waterfall make this an exceptionally peaceful and
serene environment. Heading back onto the stepping stone pathway
you continue down the side of the mountain and to the entrance of the
living area. When you enter you are instantly drawn to the fact that
the back wall of this room is actually the 14m high granite rock-face
that runs from the master suite above. Even more astonishing is the
waterfall cascading down the rock and into the indoor swimming pool
occupying the space below the rock, right in the heart of the living
area. The water is fully filtered and the flow can be
electronically controlled to define the ambiance you desire; anything
from a quiet trickle to a raging waterfall which can refresh you whilst
sitting on the bench below. This unique feature is not only creative
and beautiful but it also acts as a form of natural cooling. Once
you turn away from that, this sizable room incorporates a modern
kitchen, pantry and laundry room. The main area is used as a large
comfortable lounge area with a casual dining section; you can easily
imagine sitting either there or on the outdoor decking and indulging in
the rather amazing ocean and sunset views with playing colors and
contrast with the Marine Park islands as a background. From the living
room, steps lead down to another bedroom / study area with a dedicated
bathroom. Coming back out onto the stepping stone path, it takes
you down to a further separate guest suite which has a double bedroom
and an en-suite bathroom with bathtub. Throughout the guest suite the
white walls and wooden floors are brought to life by touches of
powder-blue in the cushioned window seat, bathroom walls, blue glass
sink and the wall inset behind the bed. To the front of the guest suite
is a private garden that shares the incredible views of all the rooms
above. This whole property is exhibited and enhanced by a
state-of-the-art computerized lighting system and ceiling mounted
projectors with pull-down screens provide modern hi-tech entertainments
systems. The Waterfall Villa is stylish, natural, and unique in
design. Located in a totally peaceful, private and natural setting
which also enjoys remarkable views. This is the ideal place for a
complete, genuine and simple getaway, and such is the beauty of this
home, you’ll probably take as many photos of the house as you will of
the views and the island, leaving a memorable experience… Suitability of the property- The house design and the 105 steps are not suitable for children under 15 or physically challenged Guests
