The gently curved interior creates a cocoon-like feel, while the full-width front opens up to give sweeping views of the sky beyond. There’s a regal king-size bed with fresh linens, a camp bed or futon for children, beanbag seating for laid-back evenings, and a handy kitchenette for rustling up light meals and drinks. A private external wet room sits just outside, complete with a heated shower, WC and hand basin.
Outside, your private deck is made for easy-going days, with a gas BBQ-oven for outdoor dining, and landscaped lawns rolling gently around the pod.
