Beautiful beach Bungalow
We came with family and small kids. The trip was totally fantastic. The hotel has a beautiful sea view. The night view of the sea from my room was mesmerising. All the staff was cordial and welcoming. Mr.Senthil Kumar was very warm and helpful throughout the trip. He made us feel like a native of that place.

Irresistible charm in this village full of history
The night spent in this establishment was the most favourite during our stay in Tamil Nadu. We do not sleep every day in the former residence of the British governor. The hotel is ideally located, on the beach and opposite to the Dansborg Fort...

Amazing experience and stay!!
This was one of my stops on my 2 week trip to Tamilnadu,karnataka. This hotel was on my bucket list . I would have changed my travel dates if I couldn't stay here.
The hotel was once a British Bungalow in Tharangambadi which is a small town in the bay of bengal. All tourist sites are centrally located and at a walking distance. There are only 8 rooms so it gets booked very quickly...
