Four Bungalows.
One Long Table.
Six and a half acres of spice gardens. Four private bungalows. A long dining table where stories, meals and friendships come together.
At The Pimenta, each bungalow sits within the greenery, offering a private connection to the garden. All four are thoughtfully designed with twin beds, en-suite bathrooms, solar-heated hot water and air conditioning—while each has its own character, outlook and way of entering.
For those who prefer a little more space, our Machil Rooms in the main house offer generous accommodation with access to a long, open veranda overlooking the gardens.

The Machil Rooms
Two grand, independent rooms located on the first floor of the main house. These can be booked as a spacious, comfortable single room or a shared room for two guests. While the rooms themselves do not have private balconies, they open directly into a magnificent communal space.
- The Living Veranda: A long, open-to-garden veranda facing the greenery. This space doubles as our library—stacked with books—and a recreational nook with indoor games. It serves beautifully as a second common area on the estate.
- Ideal For: Solo travellers looking for generous space, couples, or long-stay guests who appreciate a blend of private comfort and social connection.
