The stay

The same house, sized for four

Serenity Vista is the Retreat, configured as a two-bedroom rental. Same property, one bedroom fewer. It sleeps four, which suits two couples or a small family. The decor leans warm and colourful, texture on every wall.

The courtyard is the same one you would get with the full Retreat. A wood-fired KolKol hot tub, a pizza oven, a plunge pool under a slatted pergola. Book it when you want the whole feel of the house without paying for a bedroom you will not use.

Covered courtyard at The Glass Castle Retreat: geometric plunge pool in the foreground, outdoor dining table, wood-fired pizza oven and colourful Vietnamese lanterns hanging from the slatted timber pergola.
