About this villa
What luxury cat boarding looks like at The Cat Hotel
Luxury cat boarding is not about chandeliers. For a cat it means space, privacy, sunshine, somewhere high to hide and people who notice the little things. The Deluxe Garden Villa is our largest villa and our answer to all of that: a wooden house on stilts with double doors, a secluded loft, a patio with two circular scratchers and the biggest private garden at the hotel.
Cats from the same family can share it, up to five of them, and cats from different families never do. That rule applies to every villa, and you can read why in our post on sharing. It is also a favourite for a single cat on a long stay who likes to spread out.
