The cottages were very private, in a great location and well equipped. The pool was lovely and access to the beach was very easy. Our 2 bed cottage had a lovely little kitchen which we used a lot. But we also used the restauraunt which was great. The staff were very friendly and helpful, especially our Dada, Hariette. We have already recommended it to friends.

The house is beautiful, comfortable, welcoming. The bedroom was clean, big and well protected from mosquitoes. The breakfast is really delicious, a mix of Kenyan and western style. The villa is close to the beach and the marine park for snorkeling.

    Great host family! Everything is very authentic and lets you experience the real experience. We were very well taken care of and it’s a great project! The food was amazing and the Mida creek tour is very recommendable.

    Great location, quiet, beautiful large pool, verandas and outdoor lounges, air conditioning and fans, well equipped kitchen, supermarket and beach within walking distance. Fabulous breakfast and cleaning service. Opportunity for friends to rent another apartment and then eat with us. Perfect for quiet families and romantic couples. We want to come back with others.

    The location is great, there are some great beaches and restaurants at walking distance. The facilities are secure, quiet and very new. Everything is clean and tidy including the pool outside. We were served a delicious breakfast every morning. Margherita is an amazing host, she gave us many recommendations including for beaches, restaurants and transportation. Highly recommended.
