Built in the 1800s and occupied over the years by a British Admiral and High Court Judge of the colonial era, Tamarind Hill combines the architecture and essence of a bygone era with a clever blend of modern amenities. The manor has been beautifully refurbished to encircle a sun-dappled courtyard and house 10 beautiful rooms and two exquisite suites.
Tamarind is characterized by sloping tiled roofs, high ceilings, elongated verandas and smooth polished cement corridors that are furnished with beautiful antiques, clever reproductions, and cushioned sofas. A Tamarind tree – from where the hotel takes its name – is the centerpiece to the large grassy courtyard at the heart of the property. There is also a magnificent infinity-edged swimming pool.
There are four types of room at Tamarind Hill – Standard, Superior, Deluxe and Suite. The rooms are all air-conditioned and either have private terraces or elevated balconies.
