The perfect location for a family with kids

The conditions of the house are great, with all the facilities available. The pool was clean and well maintained and it is a great plus that has a kids pool. The staff gave a warm welcome and was always available and flexible to our requests. 5* Service. Strongly recommended..

Amazing place near Diani for large groups

The place was great. The owner helped arrange a few things in advance (transport, chef) and was easy to communicate with. Property was beautiful - great grounds including a very nice pool - and two attached houses with 5 big air conditioned bedrooms between them each with en suite very nice bathrooms.The place was clean with new, nice furniture and friendly staff for cleaning and maintenance. It was secure and private and a great place for our group. Only downside it is a bit of a trek to the beach. Adults and teenagers could walk but we had young kids so had to arrange transport to get to and from the beach. Not a big deal but worth planning for, may be worth talking to a taxi company or renting a car to travel the area. It was nice to have a chef to have meals at the house most of the time. We highly recommend.
