Everything you need for vacation

Amazing owners and helpful staff. Very nice and secure enclosed area. And three super cute Japanese Spitzes, cats and turtles. Not far from supermarket and beach. I definitely recommend!

If I had 10x the budget to stay in one of the fancy beach front resorts, I would still stay at Dadida's. It's a beautiful oasis, wonderfully maintained with exemplary attention to detail. The owners are super friendly and accommodating, lovely people. Our son enjoyed playing with the friendly dogs, making the most of the pool and spotting the occasional monkey. One of the best places we've ever stayed. Highly recommend!

We had a great time. The caretakers were very kind and friendly with our 4 year old daughter.

The place was lovely and caretakers very helpful. The AC was very appreciated although the power did go out a few times (typical for the area of course). Pool was kept very clean. The animals were all very friendly as well. All issues were quickly addressed.

Beautiful outdoor area & friendly staff, but there are more comfortable options for the same price

The outdoor area is absolutely wonderful, as well as the friendly staff who work there (very special thanks to Sara and Morgan who went above and beyond to make us comfortable). The grounds and the pool are lovely and the seating on the terrace at the cottage is very inviting. It's also great that there's aircon because it gets quite hot indoors. We also enjoyed the presence of the animals, especially the dogs (as the cats were more invasive during cooking and mealtimes). Lastly, the owners were very accommodating when we asked to check out 2 hours late.

We loved everything about the cottage, we wish we could stay there longer. It is close to the airport, the supermarkets and the beach is not so far. The animals were a perfect match to this green oasis. From the birds singing to the two tortoises who came out every morning. My kids loved feeding them. The dogs and cats are friendly and are always ready for cuddles. Racheal is a gem and she made sure we had everything we needed and all we had to do was enjoy our holiday. She is also very professional and does her work well. The pool and garden was well maintained and regular cleaning was done. We also have to mention James the chef who made breakfast and dinner when we wanted. His meals were phenomenal and he is very professional. I highly recommend him to anyone staying at the villa and would like a home cooked meal. This will not be our last time at this cottage and we look forward to coming back.

An amazing relaxing stay with everything we could possibly need!

This was a lovely peaceful property with beautiful grounds and pool, and helpful caring staff. We found it difficult to find as we put the Diani beach road in with post code, but you are better to ask the taxi to search villa milele or even dadida’s pool cottage into Google maps and it will take you there. Ring the bell outside the gates and the amazing Rachel greets you. The host was also fantastic and even supplied toys for my toddler which we really appreciated. The kitchen had everything we could need, clean water dispenser, great showers and air conditioning. We found the animals friendly and the whole vibe relaxing. A tuk tuk ride took us to the beach or to nearby restaurants and Rachel was very helpful giving us numbers of drivers etc. On one of the days we went to safari beach hotel and for a 500 shilling entry fee (redeemable on beverages) we had the use of the facilities and private beach there too. Afternoons we enjoyed the pool at the property, the hanging bed and hammock chairs, and fresh coconut from the trees. Pool towels and anything we needed was easily provided and when travelling with a toddler we really appreciated the attention to detail. We will definitely come back!

Would be an excellent place and value for money if you can tolerate the dogs and the cat.

Beautifully set in a nice location. less than 10 minute walk to the beach. Nice swimming pool and a relaxing area around it.

The place is in a quite exclusive location, however, only a 10-minute walk to Diani Beach. It is 5 minutes away from all amenities. A great restaurant called Blooming is around the corner, where they serve good breakfast, lunch, and dinner, which was introduced by our hosts, Rose and Emil. Our hosts and the entire team made sure that we had the best experience throughout our stay. Regardless of their busy schedules, our hosts always made sure our expectations were met. Rooms are cleaned every day, and fresh bed sheets and towels are replaced. The swimming pool is cleaned every morning by Ibrahim and Rachel, who are always happy to help us with everything we need and more than we could wish for. A bonus to the place was the chilling area, where there is a swing bed, a small bed to stretch your back, and a massage bed (if you fancy one, which can be organised by Rachel). The highlight of our stay was their pets, whom we fell in love with. We met Loui and Bobby, who had three adorable puppies. Not only did we receive the greatest welcome and experience from Rose, Emil, Rachel, and Ibrahim, but their beautiful pet family , Sara ( the turtle) also showed us true Kenyan hospitality.
