    Having to leave.

    The location is stunning. Staff go out their way to be helpful and friendly (especially Milly). Food is excellent, best breakfast in whole of Kenya.

    Relaxing stay in beautiful beach lodge away from the crowds

    Can't think of anything - just keep in mind that you're not in Diani which is a plus for me but may be a negative for people looking to go clubbing.

    My partner and I stayed at this lodge for 3 nights and we really loved it. We wanted to avoid the crowds of Diani and were happy to find this lodge: it offered the comfort you would expect in a tourist place, but situated on the beach in a lovely village close to the charming fisherman's town of Shimoni. We enjoyed taking the bodaboda through the village and the snorkeling and dolphin watching around Shimoni / Wasini Island and the owners are currently setting up more activities like kite surfing. The lodge is relatively new and the owners put a lot of care into rebuilding this place. The staff was friendly, the food was nice and we felt well taken care of. Would definitely recommend and hope to be able to come back!

    Leaving! 🤪

    The place looks amazing. It’s been freshly renovated with a lot of taste and they put a lot of effort into making it simple yet elegant. The staff make you feel at home and are really helpful. Breakfast was everything we could’ve dreamed of. We spent 2 entire days hanging out and didn’t get bored thanks to the view, the pool, the kayak, the hammocks, the chess and table football games. Would 100% recommend for a relaxing stay, out of the agitation from Diani or other mass tourism destinations.

    The mosquitos and the rain which made the access road quite challenging for tuk tuks. There was also no indication of where exactly to turn into the woods to the beach hotel, so a GPS is absolutely indispensable.

    The hotel is quite incredible, architectonically somewhere between ancient Swahili style and Grimm's fairy tales, right on the beach with spectacular views of the sunrise. The waves of the nightly high tide will be your lullaby. You will find there all kinds of accommodations, from the luxury tent for two to the spacious family apartment. The hotel also offers the possibility of various activities, like kayaking, kite surfing, volleyball, table football, pool, or excursions up the river through the mangrove forests, as well as a trip to the marine national park Kisite. The staff are all absolutely marvelous and helpful. One can easily feel at home there, we even extended our stay. Breakfast is copious and varied. The cook also makes probably the best hamburger (the Mwazaro burger, and not only) of all the Kenyan coast. We can highly recommend this place and will for sure go back there soon.

    This is located in a cove of mangroves, so the mosquitoes are quite bad, especially when it rains.

    This is a real gem! The location is absolutely gorgeous, and the staff is extremely warm and welcoming. The facilities were sparkling clean. The food was excellent, especially freshly caught seafood.

    We loved the whole experience:) one small thing would be the mosquito nets are really thick, which made it really hard to feel the fan or sea breeze through it and was a bit of a hot sleep.

    Beautiful and somewhat remote location, it was glorious! The recently renovated rooms are so gorgeous and we really enjoyed our stay. The staff were super friendly, helped me with a birthday cake for my friend, let us use their paddleboards and were just super accommodating. We want to come back already, 1 night was not at all enough!

    The last kilometer of the access road is quite bumpy.

    An outstandingly beautiful, quiet and friendly place with great location directly at a marvelous lagoon. The resort has been lovingly renovated end of 2022, and all accomodation is of high quality and new. All was very clean, the staff very friendly and helpful. There is a bar and a restaurant with excellent food. At low tide you can enjoy a walk of several kilometers along the coast through the mangroves, or you can go on a boat trip along a mangrove-cladded river with many birds (including a colony of kingfisher) looking for crocodiles.
