Getting about ...

Taxis are usually found
outside
The Tamarind Hotel,
which is adjacent to the
complex. Phone
numbers of friendly and
reliable
(English-speaking!)taxi
drivers can also be
provided.

Local buses stop
outside The Tamarind,
and go to Mapusa in
one direction, (about
25-30 mins) and to
Calangute the other
way (also about 25
mins).

Panjim is approximately
a 30 min taxi ride.
Although our bungalows are finished, the complex
itself is still in the final stages of completion. There
is one communal swimming pool, with another due to
be finished by the end of June 2006. Also nearing
completion are a children's play area, communal
gardens and a badminton court, again due to be
finished by June 2006.
The Wednesday Flea Market at Anjuna is no more
than a ten minute taxi ride, depending on what time of
day you go! Don't forget to haggle hard for great
bargains. On Saturday nights, five minutes in a taxi
will get you to the famous Ingo's Night Market, an
evening's entertainment in itself. Next to Ingo's is the
Go-Cart track, only open after 6pm.
Beaches
As far as beaches go, you're spoilt for choice in Goa. Here's a small selection - Baga Beach (above left): very busy,
and very long - it stretches all the way to Candolim. You can buy almost anything from the beach hawkers,  there are
many beach shacks, opportunities for dolphin trips and other boat rides.  Shops and money-changing facilities are
very close. About 15 minutes by taxi.
Anjuna Beach (above centre and top of page): much quieter except on
Wednesdays, when the Flea Market is on. A few shacks dotted up and down the beach. No more than 10 minutes by
taxi.
Ashvem Beach (above right): quiet, peaceful, couple of really good shacks, small number of shops. Hardly any
beach hawkers. Ideal for long walks. About 30 minutes by taxi from the complex.
There are approximately 105 properties on this complex, which is
nearly surrounded by jungle on three sides. Opportunities to view
local wildlife are abundant. Monkeys are often seen in the trees
around the site, as are peacocks and other birdlife.
The bungalows are on a complex
called Keshia Holiday Kottages,  
Anjuna, north Goa, very near to
the picturesque St Michael's
Church, itself a well known local
landmark. There is a 24 hour
security attendance.
