    It was an amazing stay, we will definitely come again and I can only recommend this great place. The interior is incredible, made with so much love, and the hosts make you feel like home. The breakfast is one of the best i've ever had and the view from the rooms is stunning. It is like a little secret asian place in South africa. The walk through the jungle to the beach is an adventure.

    Would’ve been lovely if they served a meal as the closest restaurants are a drive away. After having a relaxing day we didn’t feel like dressing up and going to look for food.

    The decor, the view of the ocean and the outside pool area.

    Always needed to call staff to be let out or back in. It was never a problem, but it often felt like we were inconveniencing someone

    Where do I start? Breakfast; the breakfast is awesome. Eat what you'd like, you will enjoy it. The decor is exquisite, intricate carvings and wicker pieces with pictures of Southeast Asian origin. The area feels safe, the sea view is very good, access to the beach is easy and several swimming spots within walking distance. The marine ecosystem must be good shape judging from the shells on the beach

    Separate veranda would be great and not shared with other travellers.

    The place is amazing!!! Breakfast was out of this world. I felt like I was in another country, with such beautiful art, a wonderdous view, and the most beautiful beach I have been on. The rooms were well appointed, and we were really spoilt by the staff of Nakai Beach. They really looked after us, and made us feel welcome and at home. Was sad to leave, but will plan to go back!

    you expect an African home stay and when the gate opens you are suddenly in Bali. The scenery is stunning and the home is full is Far East Asian artefacts- combined with a great feeling for details. The pool is a treat, the staff perfect and the breakfast… another great surprise each morning, out on the terrace after a swim

    Don't change, couldn't fault our stay.

    Nakai Beach Homestay: A taste of Bali on the KNZ south coast. A gem of a find from two discerning international travelers. Great location, wonderful views over the Indian Ocean, accomodation we couldn't fault ; wonderful hospitality from Grant and Paulo nothing to much trouble!! We will be returning for more R & R.
