The Restaurant Pavilion is designed to make the most of the tropical downpours, with ‘ripple iron’ arched ceilings. The permanently placed 85 years old Railway carriages provide an intimate dining experience with the original 24 volt electricity supply providing soft and flattering light and the comfort of discreetly hidden air conditioning.
