A unique house that stands in solitude, tucked away beside the forest that slopes into the valleys of Halakarai and Catherine falls. This home really catches your attention with a hip roof that slopes of the sides. Similar in style, several individual houses in the vicinity are used both as summer and weekend holiday homes and guest houses.
