Other things to note

If you like, she can also cook dinner for you (additional charges apply per person and per meal; these charges are payable directly to our housekeeper).

Of course, we can assist you so as to guide your restaurant choices and reservations, whether you might want to book cooking classes, massages, or even golf and kite excursions and activities. -surfing, tennis, camel riding, quad biking, or horseback riding with the best professionals.

N.B. As the house has very high ceilings, the stairs are quite steep and the presence of a skylight means that children under 12 must be closely supervised.
