The long colonnade of "A" Block with its huge bell, the planter's chairs outside the billiard room, the corner with a chess table below beautiful stained glass panes are some of the quaint and rare beauties one can experience at The Club.

The Breakfast Room boasts large windows that look out on the old trees to the rear of "A" block.

The Club offers a dedicated Billiards Room with well-kept equipment. It is here that many members' children have, literally, taken their cue for the first time.

The adjoining room has facilities for pool, table tennis and carom.

The colourful table tops, charming old chairs, and red floors of the Cards Room invite members to relax over a game of cards.

With its sloping wooden ceiling and sprung wooden floor, Frere Hall is the perfect place for evening dances and galas.Frere Hall is also the place where, every evening in season, the Club Secretary and his wife host a housie game for the children.

The broad verandah behind Frere Hall is used by members who wish to sit undisturbed. A flight of steps leads to a large lawn with a volleyball net. This is also the place where, every Diwali and New Year's eve, the Club hosts a spectacular fireworks display.

The Library is probably the Club's best-kept secret. It is truly a treasure-trove: the collection, now being professionally organized and catalogued, has not just modern thrillers but also, uniquely, many timeless classics including several first editions and issues of Strand and Punch magazines of the 19th Century

The 1st Floor of A Block has several rooms and suites and a generously proportioned lounge. Subdued lighting and light cane furniture in the Lounge on the first floor of A Block, in an open arrangement by large picture windows make this a perfect spot to relax. The Club also has rooms in the B, C and D Block.

The smaller children love the Children's Park with its slides and swings.

A large open area across the road and flanking C-block is maintained as a recreational facility with a mini-golf course and a jogging track. Behind C block is a hardcourt tennis court that our members can use for a game of tennis.

Many members go down to the golf course for a walk, which can take them right to the lake with constantly changing views of the woods and hills, and the lake beyond. Enthusiastic golfers also enjoy this course, which demands a high degree of accuracy and skill.

In-room facilities including tea/coffee makers (tea service can be ordered at an additional charge).
