Private courtyards with shaded seating and traditional mud floors lead into each of the twelve charming guest suites. Rich textiles in shades of rust and burnt orange reflect the accents of this exotic land. Early morning tea, coffee and home-made spice biscuits are set out among aromatic burning incense in the courtyard.
