The architect-designed resort-style magnesium salt pool is elevated above the ground, offering a unique sensation of floating while you gaze into the lush rainforest canopy. Surrounded by abundant birdlife and framed by breathtaking sunsets, this pool area is the ultimate place to relax and unwind.
Bencluna’s broad, open decks provide ample space to find your own quiet corner or gather with friends for afternoon cocktails. Expansive grassed areas and manicured gardens surround the house, inviting exploration and relaxation.
The incredible birdsong here must be heard to be believed. The surrounding rainforest is home to many rare bird species and native wildlife, and you may even spot the resident koala.
Large sun loungers on the pool deck offer the perfect place to soak up the sun or take a refreshing swim. The pool is easily visible from the kitchen and verandahs, allowing parents to relax while keeping an eye on children.
