It has exquisite views over the Estate, down Caversham Valley beyond Carisbrook and the City to Otago Harbor and the surrounding hills. It has the sun from mid morning until sunset. The bathroom has views down the Otago Harbor all the way to Portobello on the Peninsula and to Port Chalmers on the West side of the harbor.

Egyptian Room: The Egyptian Room is the old master bedroom of the 1863 part of the House and features a very large king-sized bed and Egyptian/African themes.

The bathroom has been finished to the highest standards and has under tile heating and a separate toilet and bidet.

French Room: The French Room overlooks the Rose Garden and forest beyond. It has been decorated in fresh yellow colors and features a king-sized four poster bed and antique English fireplace. The Room itself is in the new (1907) part of the House; the en suite bathroom, with the same color décor, is in the old (1863) part. Both the bedroom and the bathroom get all the morning sun and views of the rose garden, Conservatory and orchard.

Indian Room: The Indian Room is special in that the black and gold bath is situated on a dais in the bedroom itself. A hand painted screen is provided for the more modest guest. The room is decorated with Indian motifs in exotic greens, reds and gold; the bed is canopied in luxurious swags of fabric in these colors. Dainty antique chairs and a writing desk offset the solid brass elephant which graces the apartment. The black and white tiled en suite bathroom has a separate shower, bidet, toilet and hand basin.

Japanese Room: Tastefully decorated in a Japanese theme with very soothing colors; this room uses the basic principles of Japanese simplicity to create an atmosphere of peace and tranquility.
