The property encourages interaction with local culture, creating a community feel with nearby Creole cottages and double-shotgun homes.

Facilities and Amenities

A piano room and lounge, along with a commercial kitchen, cater to varied guest needs. With a main hall suitable for events, the property is adaptable for everything from reunions to photo shoots.
