Granzella bring us a new personal space that’s linked with the Southern Island Hideaway – My Private Hideaway. The definitive tropical paradise personal space has arrived and the view is amazing!

This log cabin matches the atmosphere of the tropics and there’s a great view of the landscape.
Whether it’s a quiet time or a party with friends on the balcony, this tropical mood can always be enjoyed. From the balcony you can go to My Secret Garden. In addition you will also be able to go to the My Private Hideaway dedicated fossil excavation area. This log cabin offers tons of excitement!

From the My Private Hideaway personal space you can go to the fossil excavation area.
A variety of fossils rest in the island’s rock wall. Let’s make good use of this excavation equipment and dig for fossils. Anything you dig up is yours, of course! Once the fossil is safely excavated, let the appraiser under the stairs see it.

MC Squid and Squiddy Bones have draped themselves all over each item. Go backpacking in Delirious Squid world – these bags and boots are all you need!
