All the common areas of both the wings open up into this courtyard which has been landscaped with indigenous plants, while bedrooms enjoy spectacular scenery of the lake against the setting sun. The main door opens into this courtyard which also becomes the semi open living room. The courtyard is divided into two with a connecting verandah. This verandah has a swing and large enough space to accommodate other free chairs. The verandah is placed above the underground rainwater tank.
