Featuring air-conditioned accommodation with a private pool, garden view and a patio, Tembo Beach Cottage is located in Malindi. This beachfront property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. Guests can make use of a garden.

Tembo Beach Cottage is a 15 minute drive from the airport, but not really walking distance from central Malindi. The cottage is part of a larger 'resort' with about 8-10 similar cottages around the pool and more short-term stays owned by locals or foreigners nearby. The area is secluded from the public with a manned gate and staff guarding the beach entrance. There larger complex area appears to be for events such as weddings, etc. Checkin was fairly straightforward, showing up at the gate, signing in, and telling the guards my room number and host name. The cottage itself was wonderful, clean, and comfortable. The shower was a little finicky with the hot water but I figured it out. The WiFi was fast and there is an internet TV. Besides the pool, the best part is the front, covered patio area perfect for breakfast or reading! Considered a beachfront property, it take about five minutes to walk through the compound and across the wide, public beach to the water. Get up early for a beautiful sunrise!

What a lovely apartment! Spacious, clean, comfortable and quiet. A small but adequate kitchen, lovely living and dining room, spacious bedroom with wardrobe, large bathroom. Air con and ceiling fans were a delight. TV also and a nice balcony overlooking the pool. A few minutes walk to the beach, a couple of kilometres into new Malindi which was an east walk or an inexpensive tuk tuk or boda boda. The pool was kept beautifully clean and was fabulous to enjoy. The best accommodation of our stay in East Africa! The host was friendly and very responsive and all the staff obliging and friendly … highly recommend a stay here!

    From the moment I approached, saffron Garden located on one of the quiet streets in Malindi, surrounded by beautiful, stately villas. I knew I was someplace special, the simplicity of reception area overlooking the refreshing swimming pool and massive boabob tree and the famous Hob restaurant where I took my breakfast every morning. The hotel offers excellent Wi-Fi and different activities throughout the day and night. I have stayed at many, four and five star hotels throughout Malindi and I think I found my new favorite.

    Villa Malindi was an exceptional experience for myself, my wife and my 13 year old son. Alexander is an incredible host with an extensive knowledge of all of the best places to go and activities to do in Malindi and surrounding area. He is also extremely well connected with local business owners and activity providers, and he made sure our outings were well planned, memorable and personalised to our individual interests. I cannot recommend Villa Malindi enough, and cannot wait to visit again.

    First of all, the pictures don’t do this place justice! It is even more beautiful in person.The modernized touches of the home were beautiful. The blue complimenting the vibe of the white paint, the staff who help us with everything we needed and the price point being affordable. This was a villa I will definitely be coming back to when I’m in Malindi. The fact that it’s also close to supermarkets and has a beachfront makes it 1000% more lovable.
