As the first season opens, guests drive down winding roads, walk across the green lawn, pass a stone sculpture by George Gorrow and enter through glass walls to the open floor plan on the first floor.

The pretend-Cabrillo, California retreat staffed by “The Good Place” star Manny Jacinto and “Hunters Roxy Jones” star Tiffany Boone is actually called “Soma” and is based in the hinterlands of northern NSW.

The first level with glass walls encases a lobby-like meeting space and a dining area with a long table and a wet bar.
