Home in Watamu
4.84 out of 5 average rating, 93 reviewsMagical 4-bed staffed Watamu house with epic views
My wife, I and our three children had a great holiday here. The house is located in a picturesque village surrounded by coconut palms. One of the most beautiful beaches in Kenya is about a 10-minute drive away. We had our own car, so it was not difficult for us to get there, but if you do not have transport, you can always use a tuk-tuk or a motorbike taxi. The beach is beautiful! Next to the house is an ocean bay with mangrove trees. We were very pleased that the house has two excellent SUP boards! At high tide you can ride them through the mangrove forest and it is very, very beautiful! But take shoes with you because there are sharp shells at the bottom. Nice people work in the house. Chef Joseph cooked well and was very kind. Thank him very much! We were lucky with the weather, it was not stuffy at all, so we never used the fans at night. Thanks to the owner of the house Tom and his team for good memories!

The place was just as pictured. Elvis was such a hospitable host and was always a phone call away to cater for all our needs. We especially enjoyed the patio and the grill. The location was convenient to access amenities. This place is definitely a hidden gem.

My inlaws loved it, they had a great, peaceful stay, it felt like their home after a few days, and they were sad to go. Eddie was very helpful.

Contacted Allan after our initial host cancelled as we were taking off to the destination and the second host I contacted was offline. Allan was amazing and responded within 5 minutes of inquiry despite it being super early in the morning. He was very flexible with check in , his apartment was impeccably clean and offered a lot of breakfast prep items. Amazing location , super spacious and most importantly he was in constant communication whenever we needed anything and even sent someone over to make sure we were settled in ok. A life saver this guy. Can’t recommend him enough

Cottage in Limuru Town.
5 out of 5 average rating, 12 reviewsHighland Cottage Tigoni
It was my first time in Tigoni/Limuru area, and I think I couldn't have found a better and more cozy place to stay. The cottage is spectacular and so welcoming in every sense. Lady Evie decored the place with attention to details, beautiful rustic elegance and mostly love, and you can feel that place meant a lot to her. I loved the bedroom and the incredible double fireplace, with sofas and armchairs meant to offer you a zero-stress set up to enjoy the fire and face the chilly nights. All was great, and the help and support of the house help and the watchman assisting with fire wood made everything better. Two nights was too short though. Being an animal lover, I enjoyed the visits of the birds in the private garden, visiting cows and ducks, but mostly the company and daily visits of the local gang of the sweetest dogs and the cat Judith. Its a fantastic place if you look for peace, to retreat and rest in absolute privacy, and if you align with the tranquil vibe of the farm. *****

Cottage in Naivasha
4.63 out of 5 average rating, 62 reviewsKiira Cottage, Kedong, Naivasha
My friends and I ushered in 2025 here. It was a really good place with amazing views of fireworks. The bonfire was always lit and the jacuzzi always hot! Not ideal for more than 4 couples though (unless you don’t mind being in each other’s space). The chef did a fantastic job! 👌
