Or is it the bygone romance underscored by percale linen in a tented lodge suite? If not that then the fact that you may take a treatment in a spa pavilion set beside the river in which hippo's bath at dusk? Along with a gourmet kitchen, all of this defines Summerfields Rose Retreat as a most enchanting place to re-ignite your senses.
