Walk barefoot to feel textures of stone, polished century-old timbers, terracotta and hand-crafted clay. Run a hand along walls to touch exposed original mud and straw, enamel tiles and coarsely shaped brick. Pause to view artworks and murals on white walls, purposely fashioned as a canvas for local artists to showcase their unique styles.

No two rooms are the same. There's one atop a lanewaythat's redolent of a luxury cubby house. Another features glass walls overlooking a organic vegetable garden, your own private yard with pond and architecture of traditional construction materials. A favourite room not only embraces the fine attention shared by all residences here, but has a gorgeous bathroom of local earthen walls and fittings crafted with found objects.
