Wooden pillars support the thatched roof that extends towards the SALON. The sliding glass doors and louvre shutters in this elegant living room allow cool breezes to permeate during the day giving it the feeling of an open garden room, but the clever design also provides air-conditioned comfort in the evenings. This spacious room comprises a blend of stone and timber, and the two sitting areas each contain a comfortable three-piece suite and coffee table. Paintings by Norbert Ivanyi and Ugo Untoro adorn the walls and a Bose sound system together with a collection of CDs provides the musical entertainment.

The salon extends to a paved patio area beside the pool, flanked by trickling waterfalls, flowering shrubs, and a deep pink bougainvillea hedge.
