Description from owner

Description

Follow Kevin McCloud's footsteps and sleep in the recently completed Coral Cottage. Crafted from coral rock taken from the beach here on Fofoa,  Coral Cottage is 2 adjoining circular fales with panoramic 180 degree views of the lagoon and across the fringing reef where humpback whales can be spotted from July – October. Sleep in a handcrafted, Californian King bed with memory foam mattress and pure cotton sheets. The bedroom has an ensuite bathroom with hot shower. Open your French doors and stroll across the bridge to your own private rocky island where you can drop directly into the turquoise waters and snorkel or swim in the lagoon. The separate open plan living room and kitchen has a window day bed for day time napping, reading or just dreaming. There is also a self-contained kitchen with gas oven and fridge/freezer.Self-catering is available from Oct-June or you can choose a daily meal plan with your on site chef. The fale is powered exclusively by solar. . Set amongst the trees with incredible views and the only sounds of the ocean and birds  - this is a nature lover's paradise.

If you're a party of 6 (or 7 if kids) you can also book The Beach House.
