The spaceSea Turtle Lodge is an inviting and spacious two-storey home, ideal for families or larger groups with the optional addition of a very expansive master suite offering a king and 2 singles. The main lodge comfortably accommodates up to 8 guests, offering three well-appointed bedrooms: two with a queen and a single bed each, and one with twin singles. With the addition of the master suite, the whole place can accommodate 12. There is also a sofa bed on the mezzanine floor that can curtain off which could accommodate another teen/adult if required.
The main lodge ground floor features a large, open-plan layout with a modern well-equipped kitchen, including an island bench, a dining room, and a spacious lounge, all leading out to three deck areas. One of these decks, large and covered, is conveniently located near the pool, making it perfect for relaxing or entertaining. This level also hosts one of the bedrooms with twin king singles, alongside a full bathroom.
On the upper level, guests will find the other two bedrooms, each offering stunning views and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The Mountain View room is uniquely accessible via a raised glass walkway, providing an enchanting experience. The Sea View room is expansive, offering glimpses of the ocean to wake up to. Additionally, the open mezzanine floor houses a sofa bed with privacy curtains, serving as the perfect spot for the 9th guest or a quiet reading nook.
For groups of 9 or more, or you would just prefer 4 bedrooms, you can request the master suite, adding an extra super spacious layer of luxury with an additional twin basin bathroom, a kitchenette, a king bed, and a trundler bed (two singles) accommodating 4 extra guests. The master suite, a secluded haven, is accessible via a covered outdoor landing from the upper level or through external stairs from the main deck.
