The Gardens are the centerpiece of the outdoor space behind Café Plaisir. Exposed to the outside world, but still owned and staffed by Café Plaisir, the Gardens provide an expansive, scenic outdoor area for guests. It also serves as the launching-off point for any guests or staff who wish to explore The Forest, whose treeline is opposite a large, flat grassy field from the Gardens.
Description
The Gardens contain a large number of amenities for guests to explore. The most central feature is the gazebo, which is flanked by four hedged enclosures, two on each side. Behind these enclosures are two decorative ponds, and beyond those lies the hedge maze. Flowerbeds and footpaths decorate and interconnect the main attractions, with two semi-underground decorative castle structures on the Gardens' northwest and northeast corners.
Both the Bedroom Block (from the northwest corner) and the Function Block (from The Lounge) open out onto the Gardens, with each entrance connected by a glass-roofed but open-walled walkway.
The Hedge Maze
The largest and most elaborate feature of the Gardens is The Hedge Maze, which stands at the northernmost end of the Gardens' array of attractions. The maze features stone columns and hedge arches that hinder attempts to learn the route by viewing the maze from above. The center of the maze is completely covered by a canopy of hedges that leaves it in the shade, providing privacy to any guests who manage to navigate their way through.
