Diners can enjoy their meals within earshot of the magnificent Falls, setting the stage for a unique ambiance that blends nature with culinary delight.

The venue provides both indoor and outdoor seating options, allowing guests to choose between the comfort of a traditional dining room and the refreshing open air under the Cassia trees.

Lunchtime offers an assortment of lighter and more substantial dishes, served either in the garden or near the poolside bar.
