Certain rooms feature a seating area for your convenience. A terrace or patio are featured in certain rooms. All rooms include a private bathroom equipped with a bath or shower. Extras include bath robes and free toiletries.

The place felt like home, great location with a perfect ambiance and easily accessible to motorbikes and tuktuks though they might tend to overcharge you so it's best to ask someone from around the pricings then move easily. Damaris is such a great host and the breakfast was incredible. Will definately book my next stay here in Malindi😊.

    This was my second stay at the property and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. It’s a home from home where you can fully relax and take in the sea air. It is exceptionally good value for such a beautiful apartment and location. Jackson is a lovely host and helps with all sorts such as where to eat and activities in the area, this is far about expectations. The pool is beautiful and I like the unique design which means you get in via a shallow ramp rather than stairs.

    Everything. Everything you would want for a homestay vacation. A great swimming pool. Chilled and quiet neighborhood. The trees and the grass was amazing. We enjoyed staying at the balcony. Big comfy bed...the list is endless. Wait a minute, THE AMAZING STAFF. Special mention to the great gateman (can't remember his name). Offered and cleaned our vehicle. Always warm with a smile (a short middle-aged man)

    A little gem well hidden along Casaurina road. Lovely host, Tanvir. Engaging and willing to go an extra mile for guests. Breakfast was definitely different with some exotic choices to select. Quiet place with lovely garden to relax and rejuvenate.
