If you like silence, peace and mother`s care, then this is the place for you. Jeen will take care of you like her own child. We wanted pancakes for breakfast and Saidi made delicious pancakes for us. There is a romantic, beautiful rest zone and place for breakfast, dinner or lunch with nice music and lighting in evenings.

Superb setting with stunning communal areas adorned with beautiful scented white flower trees. The rooms were super clean and the staff were truly exceptional and a huge asset to the property. They were most attentive and remained at our disposal throughout the days and nights of our stay. Shiela, Happy,Rosemary and Gakena will live long in our memories of our stay at this oasis. The warmest of smiles and happy to help demeanour will take some beating wherever you stay in the wold. Malindi is a hidden gem and in my opinion this hotel is by far the best in the area. Be sure to try the Hob restaurant which is close by.

An amazing place – intimate, full of charm and character. Perfect if you’re looking for something authentic rather than a big resort for mass tourism. The staff is very welcoming, warm and always ready to help you. We highly recommend.

The location is fantastic and the house was homely, very quiet, well aerated with privacy. It was comfortable and had everything that we needed. The pool was fantastic and for the price you pay, we'll definitely be back. Great place to stay. The host Grace was very responsive and helpful throughout. It is located in a quiet and peaceful area, perfect for unwinding.

I recently stayed at this apartment and had a great experience.

The apartment was extremely nice and comfortable. Also very clean and tidy. The surrounding is breathtakingly beautiful: a wonderful pool directly in front of the balcony surrounded by nice Mediterranean style buildings and many beautiful trees. Everything is very well shaped and kept properly tidy and made our stay there an unforgettable experience. Like in paradise. The ocean just around the corner, 2 walking minutes away. We both were very happy there and had a wonderful time. The host Lady was always very nice and helpful. A very good address to recommend strongly.

    The location is perfect, it's meters away from the ocean where you can hear the waves crashing. Francis who manages the property was excellent with his communication, the owner Lucio was extremely hospitable. The housekeeper was super friendly. The decor of the interior and patio was on point to idealist setting of a beach home - modern with eclectic pieces of unusual furniture.
