We also have a bar which works until the last customer. This means that if people come to us and want to leave after twenty four hours, we are willing and able to have them.
The Gardens also offers restaurant services across the day, meaning that we serve three meals a day, A La Carte, and traditional meals. Some of our clients would like to have special meals. We provide these and ensure that they are happy. But we need to know about this in advance.
For clients who want to hold conferences in our serene environments, we also have conference facilities.
