What it feels like

Reading the room, traveller by traveller

  • With friends

    The easy-living sundowner spot — grab kiosk drinks and a shaded bench.

  • As a couple

    Relaxed and social rather than intimate, but lovely under the pines.

  • Multigenerational

    Shade, seating and a café make it the most comfortable viewpoint to bring everyone.
