Welcome to the intersection between city and nature! Located in Daisy Hill and next to M1 Motorway, this tranquil Japanese-gardens retreat is the perfect alternative providing peace away from your daily routine. Once outside, you are presented with covered patio and courtyard providing room for kids games and family get togethers. From here you move through the tatami inspired walls and enter the Japanese Gardens.

Time in this garden sees your worries disappear.
