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.
Bungalow on the Beach with its high ceilings, evolves the formality of colonial
rulers and has now two annexe bungalows in the same area, the Gate House and
Nayak House.
Main
difference between the Bungalow on the beach and other two is the
architecture. While bungalow on the beach is a colonial
architecture, these are examples of indigenous Tamil architecture where red tiled roofs surround courtyards of domestic proportions.
