The garden path beside the canal, with the main house and veranda ahead — the house, from the garden path

Close-up of the carved wooden gable over the cottage entrance — the carved gable entrance

The inner courtyard, shaded by a large tree — the inner courtyard

A palm-lined path leading to one of the cottages — the path to the cottages

The house seen across the backwater — the house, seen from the water

A small boat at the water's edge with houseboats passing in the distance — the boats that pass

Two guests in garden chairs by the water, watching a houseboat go by — watching the houseboats go by
