“A collection of nine indulgent suites in a charming yellow-painted inn dating back to the 1800s. Admire beautiful views of Sawyer Bay & flower-filled gardens from suites bedecked in warm, moody tones, with antiques, artwork & polished wood. There are kitchenettes, a shared guest lounge & a gym, too.”

"If these walls could talk, they would tell tall tales of sailors and shipwrecks, of bar fights and love affairs. The historic structure built by the grandfather of a former prime minister in the North West port town in the late 1800s. A pub until 1972, the compound is now a beautiful inn outfitted with vintage pieces and organic textiles — and a yoga studio in the old stable."
