The riverfront sanctuary connects you to the true roots of the locality that was once the wood trading hub of the British Empire, whether it is the impressive teakwood exterior or the conservative colonial house that has been renovated to house a top-notch restaurant and bar, not to mention the giant tree on the lawn that has been providing shade for almost 200 years.

Skipping ahead

» Earlier this month when I launched this bi-weekly Travel Diary series, I had a gut feeling that this coronavirus pandemic could drag on a lot longer than many people had thought. Maybe it could even take a whole year. However, feedback revealed that readers were more optimistic and believe it won’t be that long.
