THE LAKE SUITE
As the name suggests, the Lake Suite overlooks the Lodge's private
man-made lake. Located at the corner of the house, the room is
decorated in yellow and white regency striped wallpaper and
furnishings with accents of deep claret reds reflecting in the
Sanderson curtains.
This is the largest of all the
rooms and has an “English” country house feel about it. It has a
sitting room and private en suite. The room can be made up with
either a king-size bed or twin beds
GARDEN SUITE
Out of all the rooms at Timara Lodge, the Garden suite has the
most panoramic of all the views and a charm, which is enhanced by
the bay window, which is the focus of the room.
This room has a small sitting
area with private bathroom, including a shower. The decor is
terracotta-striped wallpaper and William Morris honeysuckle
curtains.
Located at the front of the
Lodge, the Garden Suite enjoys views of the tennis court, swimming
pool, the gardens and the lake. The room is furnished with a
king-size bed and 2 comfortable chairs set by the bay window.
MOUNTAIN ROOM
Although the bedroom itself is the smallest of all the four rooms,
it is often preferred for its seclusion and privacy as it has its
own little entrance hall. Often referred to as the "honeymoon
suite", the Mountain Room is located on the western side of the
house.
The room has recently been
enlarged with the installation of a romantic bay window
overlooking the private parkland with the Richmond Ranges in the
distance. Capturing the afternoon sun, the room has a comfortable
queen-size bed.
BALCONY ROOM
Once used as an open veranda, this room has many windows, giving
the room a particularly generous and spacious feel. Located at the
front of the house, the room captures the sun throughout the day.
The room can be made up with
either a king-size bed or twin beds and has its own ensuite.
Decorated in off-white with hints of subdued green and rose, the
Balcony Room offers expansive views of the tennis court, swimming
pool and gardens, and has side views of the lake and private park.
