The Pointhouse grounds also include a small lawn bordered by low stone walls Perfect for enjoying a game of croquet or bocce. Riprap terraces stabilise the slope and support a few fruit trees and berry bushes.
Raised vegetable beds at the Pointhouse Annex garden produce shared bounty for vacationing guests and the B&B in season. Perennial herbs and edibles are mixed in with shrubs, trees and perennials on both properties.
Water Rituals
Hot, Cold, Rest, Repeat. At the heart of this rejuvenating experience is the addition of a custom outdoor sauna (Spring 2025), embodying the Nordic philosophy of contrast therapy. Begin your journey by warming your body in the sauna’s soothing heat, enhanced by the aroma of natural cedarwood. Then, embrace the invigorating rush of cold therapy with a plunge into the ocean or a cool water feature, stimulating circulation and awakening your senses. Complete the cycle by resting in our serene relaxation zones, surrounded by the gentle sounds of nature. Guests can also enjoy a hot tub experience and unwind by the fire pit, adding even more options for warmth and connection.
