 Small
exclusive luxury heritage boutique resort in Fort Kochi, Kerala
A relaxed serene vacation in a large, elegant colonial bungalow, set in a lovely
garden with a swimming pool shimmering in its midst. Add to that an unbeatable
location in the heritage area of Fort Kochi. Almost a hundred years old, Tea
Bungalow lovingly restored to its classical colonial elegance, offers luxury
accommodation in ten spacious en suite rooms.
The vibrant colours of the property greet you as
you enter, but it is mandatory that guests drop all cares and worries before
entering the wrought iron gates flung open wide in welcome.
Accommodation -
Tea Bungalow has 10 large en-suite rooms each named after a port involved in
spice and tea trading from lands around the Indian Ocean. The rooms are named
Cochin, Zanzibar, Galle, Mombasa, Muscat, Malacca, Mauritius, Cambay, Goa and
Calicut. Each room has deft design touches of each ethnic port.
Spotlessly clean, the bedrooms are elegantly designed to exude, warmth and
comfort and an ineffable sense of quiet luxury. Each bedroom has large
comfortable beds that guarantee you sleep like a baby. A happy baby, one might
add...
Tea Bungalow is an art connoisseur's delight. Take a look at the doors of the
Cochin suite. The ornate carving is the perfect foil for the simple elegance of
the room. There are exquisite paintings on the walls and suddenly the delighted
guest comes across an absolute gem like the miniature ancient sailing ship with
three furled sails, not riding the waves but perched on a stool pointing at the
admiral on the wall. It looks like the Captain is just waiting for his order to
hoist the main sail and set off on a new adventure.
Facilities -
The
Garden is the perfect foil for Tea Bungalow,
enhancing its calm serenity. One can lounge on the garden chairs under a lawn
umbrella or in the dappled shade of the jackfruit, breadfruit and cinnamon
trees, and enjoy the exotic shapes of the bonsai plants. At night the cleverly
lit garden is transformed into the stuff of dreams.
The aquamarine swimming pool
is lined with leather polished granite and Italian Bisazza tile. Sun loungers
are arranged around the pool-deck. Each one provided with a fresh, soft, snowy
white towel.
The Travancore Lounge is an
exclusive retreat for residents only with a well stocked library. There is a
wide wall mounted plasma screen for those who are curious about what the world
has been up to while they were away.
