Acacia Pool Suite

At the end of the boardwalk, the valley is yours.

The last pavilion on the ridge stands on its own. The glass slides fully away, so the bedroom, the deck and a private plunge pool become one long room facing west.

From inside the timber sala at sunset: a linen daybed, a long dark plunge pool and the Acacia Pool Suite glowing beyond

There is a timber sala beside the pool for the hottest hours, with a daybed wide enough for two, and an outdoor shower walled in sandstone. Inside, a freestanding bath, a dressing room and a bed that faces the cliffs.

It is the most private place at Malandra, which is why it is so often booked for honeymoons and quiet anniversaries. Your host for the stay will leave you entirely alone, if that is what you would like.

The day, from this room

  1. At dawn

    Swim before breakfast; the pool keeps yesterday’s warmth until the sun is up.

  2. In the afternoon

    The sala is in deep shade from midday, and the breeze comes up the valley at about three.

  3. After dark

    The pool is lit from below, very softly, so it never competes with the stars.
