Monica & Paris were fabulous ladies who greeted us every morning with smiles & laughs. The home is well equipped and has everything you need, drinking water provided too. The location is good, out the gate and a few minutes to the left is the beach & a few minutes to the right is the main road & a supermarket across the road. There's a guard at the gate all night. The shower is good & powerful. It's homely. I didn't take my photos but the pics on booking.com are realistic.

All the equipment in the kitchen, outdoor grill... There is a nice clean pool outside, air condition in every room. If we had more time, we would definitely stay longer, but this were our last two days in Kenya and we couldn't have found better accommodation. Thanks for everything 💕

    We have just returned from a fabulous stay at Diani Cottages. The property consists of six lovely cottages around a beautiful pool area. The team were amazing and looked after us so well, keeping everything spotlessly clean and well maintained. We felt safe and secure throughout our stay. The location was great, near to the beach, restaurants and a good supermarket

    Every location on Diani beach is a wonderful location and this is no exception On the good side the staff were friendly but untrained. The beach is a few steps away. The rooms are single storey bungalows with their own veranda. At first glance it looks charming. Pity then it is such a disappointment
