Bungalow
on the Beach is a Neemrana
group enterprise located 15 km north of Karikal (Union Territory of Pondicherry)
at Tranquebar (Tamilnadu,
India).
Two
restored buildings of the Bungalow will stand as reminders of two
Danish admirals sent by King of Denmark. Tranquebar was a Fort
established for the Danish for Pepper Exports and Today you can
drive majestic King Stret past Lutherian Churches and Grand
Bungalows of the of the Danish Governors and British Collectors.
If the Bungalow on the Beach with its high ceilings, evolves the formality of colonial rulers, the Gate House and Nayak House are examples of indigenous Tamil architecture where red tiled roofs surround courtyards of domestic proportions.
The Gate House, the rooms are traditional with a contemporary uncluttered feel.
The Nayak House is a honeymooners idyllic cottage with a private sea attached.
Guests can live in any of these but are free to dine at the Bungalow on the Beach or at the Tamil Nadu Hotel that offer traditional Tamil cuisine.
