Now we move outside.

This is where most of our time is spent.

With no rear nieghbours there is total privacy, and with rear north easterly aspect, this garden is never in shadow.

As you walk out through one of several doors you'll be greeted with an impressivive Alfresco entertaining area.

The gentle sound of running water continues from the inside water feature to the trickling of the pool fountains.

Did we mention the pool.  A whopping 11 meters long is enough for even an olympic swimmer to get a few strokes before turning.  It has been specially designed once again with fun in mind, the shallow end is "both ends" and the deep section is in the middle.  That's because games of water volleyball were often unfair the the people in the deep end.  They cant complain now!

It is also ideal to set the trampoline up in the middle to get extra height for bombs.

There is a  1.5m x 3.0m section for the really little kids as its only about .6m deep.  Sectioned off by stepping stones it is ideal for toddlers to learn to swim, with supervision of course.  Alternately there is plumbing in place for a blower making it a great place to sit and relax with a drink or two.

If you want to get away from it all for a while we also have the "Quiet corner" or "Smokers corner"

The grassy area in the picture above is used for practicing soccer, tennis and sometimes golf. This wall has been intentionally built solid with no windows (downstairs) and extra concrete core filling.

This has all been cleverly linked together by pathways which give the kids (or adults) plenty of options for running around on bikes, scooters or whatever.

The Tropical style gardens are very low maintenance, with palm trees and plants which require very little care.  It is better to enjoy using your garden rather than spending all your time looking after it.

All in all it is a fantastic place to spend your time.  The only time you'll want to go inside is to get another beer.  (or to use the toilet (we hope!!))
