In a typical Court Yard House or Balé, pavilions seamlessly integrate courtyards with terraces, covered breeze ways and indoor rooms.

On entering the courtyard gate a guest is soothingly greeted by a water feature and landscaping in a welcoming forecourt that leads to a covered entry walkway, passing by landscaped courtyards and covered terraces off the dining/living pavilion on one side and bedroom pavilions on the other.

Each courtyard house has three or four functional pavilions. The living/dining pavilion that contains the kitchen is essentially an open ended pavilion between two blade walls that open at either both or one end onto covered terraces via bi-fold doors providing the option of an entirely open space from terrace to terrace.

The elegantly designed guestrooms of the hotel have left no stone unturned in catering modern convenience.

Get here private plunge pools, poolside pavilion along with day bed, fully-equipped kitchen, facility of lounge and dining, LCD television, DVD, just to name a few. Altogether, here you can feel the excitement of sojourning amidst nature and for that you needn't stay away from modern comfort.

The master bedroom pavilion is a space that flows from either a dip pool or landscaped courtyard terrace through to the ensuite, and at choice can be opened through French doors, allowing an entirely free flow of spaces.

Sassi at Bale is open seven days for breakfast, lunch and dinner offering fine dining and fresh regional produce in refined relaxed surroundings. Additional services include room service, private catering within your own Sanctuary and cooking lessons.

Your concierge will arrange an itinerary to suit your exact requirements with private helicopter, boat or guided walking trips to the world heritage listed Great Barrier Reef, 140 million year old Daintree Rainforest or Cape Tribulation - the only place in the world where two world heritage listed areas meet.
