We enjoyed my experience at the house. Joyce was exceptionally warm and welcoming, ensuring that I felt right at home from the moment we arrived. The staff were equally friendly, providing excellent service and going out of their way to make our stay comfortable. One of the highlights was the breakfast—it was not only delicious but also thoughtfully prepared, with a variety of options that catered to our taste. My son also enjoyed the pool and also the AC which made our sleep enjoyable despite Diani temperatures.

“Our lovely stay in Diani”
The hosts were amazing. Joyce and the team - Bakari were friendly and helpful. They were gracious enough to allow an early check-in and late check- out as per our travel plans. The houses were cosy and clean, the pool was clean. The hosts helped book a few activities within Diani. Would definitely go back and recommend the place to other people. The location was 10 minutes away (walking distance) from the beach and kongo river.

“The exceptional reviews are TRUE”
This place was AMAZING! Before booking, I struggled to find a bad review and didn't get one. The owner mentioned that they usually have clients who want to extend their stay. I now understand why. The location is a few kms from the beach but the ambience is beautiful. Calm, quiet and serene is what describes the pool area and courtyard. The rooms and area are meticulously kept clean by such amazing staff. The thoughtfulness and professionalism shown by the owner and their staff are beyond expectation and this was honestly a better stay than a hotel. Thank you again, we left saying we need to plan our second trip and wishing we didn't have to leave. Thank you for an amazing stay!

“My stay was relaxing and enjoyable, with excellent service and a comfortable atmosphere.”
The place is beautiful, and the house is spacious. I loved the clean swimming pool and appreciated that the staff were always ready to assist with anything. They even quickly arranged transportation for one of our colleagues, despite the short notice.

“Very nice place - clean and modern facilities - well equipped kitchen.”
The breakfast was ok. It would have been better if they asked what we would like. I liked the bottled water provided, the spacious apartment, the AC in the room, the pool.

“If you're searching for a fantastic place to relax in Diani, look no further!”
The host was exceptionally friendly and accommodating to all our questions and requests. Thanks to the new Dongo Kundu bypass, the distance from Mombasa to Diani has been significantly reduced. The Kongo River/beach is just a walkable distance, and the stretch to get to the place/house has a variety of social amenities like the Carrefour, chemists, restaurants etc. If you are short of fun activities to do just ask the host. Our stay was everything a vacation should be: relaxing, enjoyable, and chill.

“We had a very good and enjoyable experience at the V-szameitat homes”
It was spacious and comfortable and the swimming pool was child friendly. There was a wood pecker who would peck at the window early in the morning.

It's a quiet hidden spot to get away for a weekend or vacation without all the hotel-like formality and exudes a relatively contemporary feel; with friendly staff like Esther who made sure to check on you and if you needed anything from time to time. And was definitely great value for money for the short time I was there

“A fabulous experience!”
Our experience at the place was truly fantastic! The ambience exudes a pleasant and elegant vibe. The houses are beautifully furnished and meticulously clean, offering both AC and fans for optimal comfort. One notable convenience is the abundance of sockets in each room, a detail that's often overlooked but greatly appreciated. The staff members are exceptionally hospitable and accommodating. Despite arriving several hours before the official check-in time, they went out of their way to ensure our comfort, even providing us with a delightful breakfast as we waited for our room to be prepared. Additionally, they offer meal preparation services at an extra cost, which can be convenient for guests seeking a hassle-free dining experience. Furthermore, the establishment offers transportation arrangements for connecting guests, with options for airport or SGR terminus. This added service enhances the overall convenience and accessibility of the location. While the swimming pool presents a visually appealing feature, it may be noted that it's not particularly deep. (This is quite relative) However, this may still offer a refreshing respite for guests seeking a leisurely dip. Lastly, the proximity of the place to the beach is commendable, with a manageable 10-minute walk ensuring easy access to the coastal beauty. Overall, our stay was nothing short of exceptional, thanks to the combination of superb amenities, attentive staff, and convenient services offered by the establishment. We would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable and comfortable getaway experience.
