The outdoor shower is shared with the main house. Guests have their own private entrance and exit to the shower from the guest unit. Stairs!

There is much more to L.A. than movies, celebrities, and theme parks. A cultural powerhouse with more than 100 museums and over 200 theatres to explore, the Californian city is a diverse and multicultural hub with a population of more than 140 countries speaking 224 different languages, which is best reflected in its vibrant culinary scene. The city is also widely known for its reliably sunny weather and over 120 kilometres of beautiful coastline, including famous beachside locations like Malibu and Santa Monica. But its geography is truly diverse — look inland at the deep valleys and wide mountain ranges that surround the city.

Along the road you will also come across some of the most luxurious homes in the city; these homeowners spare no expense in ensuring their homes are on par with the celebrities in Beverly Hills.
