Outdoors there is a large Jacuzzi set within it’s own pool, a dining gazebo, self contained covered BBQ area with full wet bar and a further seating area beneath a domed gazebo imported from Italy covered with sparkling fairy lights. All complemented by stunning water features, statues and sun loungers.

Extending to over one acre, wonderfully tranquil and lushly planted gardens surround the property and mature palms further accentuate the unmistakably tropical environment. The pool and surrounding terraces form the focal point of the gardens with water features, Romanesque gazebo, outdoor dining gazebo, large covered wet bar and Jacuzzi.

The staff includes a full time butler, cook, gardener, maid, laundress and a security guard during the months of December – April.

Stanford House is ideally suited for the intimate wedding of up to 50 guests.
