“Great place to stay in”
We love the place. We booked it for a week. It is a spacious villa. It is furnished with everything you need. We felt very comfortable. The host is super nice and helpful. We also love the location - it is not in a tourist area, it’s surrounded with local people which we did enjoy. There is a small grocery just a few matters away. There is a nice garden outside and it is lovely to spend some time in the garden. I do recommend the place.

“Pleasant Stay as a Local in a confortable, secured villa”
It was situated close to coastal road in brufut, the neighbouring is quiet and enabled to enjoy brufut and gambia as a local an not only as a tourist The villa is confortable, secured and has all the regular amenities that are a great asset in gambia: large space, hot water, fans, 2 bathroom, fridge. Enough to feel home Mamajara and her family was very welcoming and kind. I really had a pleasant stay and appreciated their language skills with several Gambian languages and English and French

“Lovely villa with excellent hosts.”
A lovely villa in an excellent location for the highway and the beach. Our hosts were lovely too and a perfect balance of being on hand if we needed anything but allowed us privacy to enjoy our holiday. There was even a secure parking area for our car.

“Wonderdful! Will definitely be staying here again”
The compound is lovely. Built and furnished to a high standard. Very clean and spacious inside and out. Beds very comfortable. Bathroom had a lovely shower.. Kitchen had all we needed; gas cooker and oven a fridge freezer, all utensils and iron and ironing board. We felt very safe and secure. Our hosts Mamjara and her mother were wonderful and very welcoming. We went for a family holiday and it was enjoyed by all members of all ages. Location and getting around Getting around: We took a 6-10 minute walk to the main road where you can jump on a local Taxi for 10 Dalasis to get to around.. Senigambia is around a 15 min drive alternatively you can order a taxi to collect you directly from the compound. Local markets:Tanji or Turntable
