Stayed here after a work retreat and it was the break I needed. Nilijiskia nyumbani “I felt at home”. Safari, Pendo, Elvis and Lewa were great hosts, always ensuring I was well taken care of. I had the place to myself, it’s a beautiful beautiful house with proximity to casuarina road establishments, so easier to grab a lunch or dinner at an outside restaurant on the beachfront. The mbuyu is majestic and offers great shade at the pool area - all day! The breakfast was delicious and I really appreciated that they offered bottled water throughout the day.

“You need to experience Nyumba ya Mbuyu yourself. Words can’t describe it. It’s out of this world!”
Everything! The villa is so so beautiful, the pictures don’t do it any justice. The staff - Safari, Loise and Lewa - were ever so helpful. I felt at home, they made sure I felt at home too! The breakfast was yummy and oh so filling!
