I had such a lovely stay! Sophia was incredibly warm, kind, and responsive from the moment I booked. She made me feel truly welcomed and at home. You can tell she genuinely cares about her guests. Highly recommend her as a host! The room was clean, cozy, and exactly as pictured, peaceful, with a beautiful breeze and great lighting. I slept so well and felt safe throughout my stay.

Had a great stay! The property is stunning — the plot is very spacious with a huge garden that’s well maintained. It’s the perfect spot to relax, enjoy a morning coffee, or just take a peaceful walk. The staff were another highlight — super friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. The room was clean, cozy, and had everything I needed. The whole place has a calm and peaceful vibe that made it easy to unwind.

The apartment was just amazing, as it was very beautiful, spacious and in great location. The rooms were big and had very comfortable king size beds and private bathrooms. The pool was just great, although it is shared with other apartments it was always empty and we could use it exclusively. Location is in close vicinity to beautiful beach Papa Remo Beach, main road and supermarket. You can easily get a tuk tuk and visit various beaches. The lady who was taking care of the apartment was very friendly and cooked for us every day delicious breakfast. We extended our stay for additional days since we liked the place a lot. Highly recommended.

    We arrived at Tembo Village and directly felt welcomed. Jojo the manager showed us the whole comport, our room and gave us a lot of informations about Watamu. We had our own kitchen and a outside livingroom. It was all clean and comfortable. We extended our 3 nights stay and ended up staying with her for 2 weeks. The pool was big and clean.
