Description

Burkleigh House is a sixty two year old home which has been substantially altered in light of its newfound role as a first class guest house. The front facade of the house has been wrapped in a large, sunny veranda which is ideal for sundowners as it overlooks the bustle of the city from an austere elevation, with views of mature trees, an acre of lush gardens and a sparkling pool.

Guests are welcome to indulge in the seclusion of several spots where they are able to read or view the prolific bird life which have also chosen Burkleigh House as their preferred place to be.
