The family villa has 2 double rooms, both with indoor and outdoor showers and a combined viewing deck. The main complex is situated above the rapids and consists of 2 lounges, a library and a dinning room.

The swimming pool is the heart of the main area with a beautiful sun deck and ample space to relax around the pool. There is also a curio shop.
