Terra Firma - Explorers' Cabin

Explore - to traverse an area for the purpose of discovery e.g. to explore the valley in search of wine! The newest part of Terra Firma is the Explorers’ Cabin. We wanted this place to embrace the spirit of adventure, as well as the sense of calm you feel when you have ‘arrived’. Added in 2008, the Cabin was conceived as a stand-alone place, where you can find the peace, privacy & pampering that you desire… & a telescope and compass, should your ‘inner explorer’ decide to emerge!
