Swahili House is a beautiful property, well maintained and with the most helpful staff, Rose and Amos. The property is right next to Malaika Restaurant that has amazing sea food and if you walk down the road there is a local restaurant that sells delicious Swahili food. The only area for improvement is the shower - the water pressure is very low. Otherwise this is an excellent property for solo travelers or a couple. Will definitely be coming back!
