Option one

The ‘cinema room’ includes a large fitted screen, eight sound speakers in the walls and ceilings, mood lighting with a starlight ceiling, electric reclining chairs and – in adherence with the wildlife code – ‘grass cloth wall coverings’ which were imported from the USA.

There’s even a blingy bar with a karaoke machine, as well as ‘stunning’ private and landscaped gardens.
