    One night the neighbours throw a party (which is not her fault at all). But she offered us to stay downstairs where you could not hear anything at all. So even though there was that, she was able to help and we really appreciated it.

    Laurence is a wonderful host, she helped us through our stay and went above and beyond. The area is peaceful and the property is great. You have access to the kitchen that has anything you need to cook something. Also, the cats and turtle are so cute and friendly. Breakfasts are perfect!

    Very bumpy road to access the property but the tuktucks seem to manage well.

    The garden was magnificent with a lovely pool The room was large airy and comfortable. Breakfast was beautifully served. Very artistic fruit platter and toast. All good. Very good restaurants and the most beautiful beach close by.

    While our stay had many positives, there were a couple of aspects worth noting. The initial route provided by Google Maps from the tarmac to the house was really bad. However, we later discovered a much better murram road, so I recommend seeking directions from the locals or engaging with the host for guidance. One minor point to consider was the breakfast, which we found to be somewhat light for our preferences. It consisted of two slices of bread, fruits, tea, and juice. If you're accustomed to heartier breakfasts with proteins, this might not completely satisfy your morning appetite. Of course, this could be a personal preference, and it may not be a concern for everyone.

    We absolutely LOVED the place and enjoyed our stay. The host's expertise in hospitality shines through. Nancy was there to check us in. I really appreciated the attention to detail. The fresh flowers on the bed and the bathroom, the multiple towels, kikois, the thoughtful inclusion of contact information for any possible needs, Watamu guidebooks, and a collection of novels – every aspect of our stay was carefully considered. We had the entire pool to ourselves. It felt so cosy and private. The hosts responded to any queries we had and Nancy was such a delight. I loved that we were also able to check out in the afternoon without any rush. I'd love to come stay here again if I'm ever in watamu. Breakfast was fruits, toast, juice and tea or coffee. They have a kitchen where you can prepare meals. Plus, we couldn't help but fall in love with their charming cats, one of which sported a delightful mustache 😂. We were told about a resident tortoise, but regrettably, we missed the chance to meet it.

    Little piece of paradise run by a terrific soul. Laurence is such a cool and funny woman, and the house is just wonderful. We loved our time there and wish we could have stayed longer. The breakfast is delicious, fresh, made with so much attention and love. Cool cats and turtle wandering around, comfy bed, close to snake farm... everything was lovely! Watamu town and beach can be easily reach by tuktuk or boda boda, and snake farm by foot if you want. Thanks for everything Laurence 🙏

    We loved our stay at Huhuru house. Lauren masters the art of hosting. She provides privacy whilst being available for questions and requests. She was kind enough to show us around, introduced us to the locals and healed us with homemade remedies. She has an eye for detail - aestetically pleasing breakfasts, nice decorations and a lovely garden will brighten your day. Not only that, she is very interesting to talk to. Our favorite moments during our stay were when we spent time with her. We are thankful to have met her and to have stayed at her lovely property.

    Hamza and Lau were awesome. They were so kind to come pick me up from the airport 🙂. The Fresh breakfast Hamza served so heartily made me not want to leave and I felt right at home. They were always very helpful and informative of places to visit for a meal or a Sundowner. Thank You for the Amazing Hospitality Guys and Hopefully all come back Soon!! I took videos of the place so am unable to share the pictures.!! I took for the breakfast though!!

    The shared kitchen could do with a bit more attention and many of the kitchen items were missing from the list described. The host who lives at the property is negative, her comments can be borderline racist and unprofessional. Furthermore, she insulted me and spoke to me in a unacceptable manner despite of the fact that the misunderstanding arose to due to her communication error.

    It was stylishly furnished, the garden is lovely, pool is clean. Breakfast is excellent.
