Walk to Ratnam playground. This park offers a clear view of the Whist Bungalow and the sky as the light fades. It is about a 43-minute walk from the bungalow itself, but you are starting here.

Watch the sunset. On 15 January, the sun sets toward the WSW at 18:12, casting a golden glow over the 19th-century bungalow in the distance.

Return to Green Life Restaurant for dinner. The restaurant stays open until 23:00, giving you plenty of time to relax after the sun goes down.
Local tip
The walk from Ratnam playground to the Whist Bungalow is long (43 minutes). It is easier to use Ratnam playground as your base for the sunset view rather than walking to the bungalow itself.
