The bungalow has 120 years of history, and has since been renovated and transformed into a beautiful space where you can relax, dine, shop, enjoy art and more! The bungalow’s beautiful facade makes for picturesque OOTD moments, and you can even lounge at the outdoor patio with a cuppa for those al fresco vibes.
