A semi-circular driveway leads through the tropical gardens joining our two entrance gates. At the rear of the Main House there is ample parking for several cars next to the kitchen wing and the main entrance porch.The spacious rooms and wide verandahs are furnished with Lloyd Loom, rattan, teak and antique mahogany furniture, some of which dates back to the days of Lord Nelson (who was married at Montpelier more than 200 years ago). Fabrics from England, Spain and Sri Lanka, Hamadan carpets, Noritake china, silver plated tableware, decorative antiques and other period accessories add the finishing touches to create a feeling of gracious, yet informal living. Accommodation is in two houses which are positioned to make the best of the cooling breezes of the Trade Winds. The Main House The entrance hall joins the kitchen wing to the main living areas. Wide folding doors separate indoor and outdoor living areas. Inside, the furniture is mainly antique including a fine early 19thC. bookcase. In a secluded corner, the antique desk provides space for your laptop (use WiFi or Ethernet cable). Bring your own music and plug your player or laptop into the HiFi system. You will also find a portable CD player which can be connected to the HiFi. Cable TV is available. Outside, a huge verandah is open on three sides to make the best of the panoramic views, day and night. The dining area has a round table, and the lounge area is furnished with rattan. Side verandahs lead to two comfortable bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. Each bedroom has a pair of queen-sized beds. The very large kitchen is well fitted out with solid maple furniture, imported Italian granite worktops and Spanish tiled floor. Gas stove, fridge freezer with ice making, dishwasher, microwave, coffee machine, toaster etc., and remote control for the 17kVA backup generator which is installed in the Gate House. The Guest Cottage The large master bedroom is furnished with antique furniture with some historic pieces commemorating the life of Nelson. An internal lobby leads to the en suite bathroom and the fully fitted kitchen. The main verandah enjoys the same wonderful views as the Main House and has space for dining as well as comfortable rattan furniture. Outside steps lead down to another bedroom (with bathroom) which has double doors opening on to the garden. The Gate House The Laundry is normally the domain of our housekeeper, who is happy to launder guests' personal items which do not need special care (This service is provided free of charge). The Generator Room is out of bounds to guests for safety reasons. The Pool Area The 40' x 20' swimming pool is a short stroll to a very secluded part of our terraced gardens. The cabana provides shade and there is a cold shower. There is a selection of reclining chairs and loungers. The Tennis Court The tennis court is landscaped into the hill side at the far south western corner of the property.
