Gambia on my mind.

We were two people looking for a place to escape the hustle and bustle. The tourist season was slowly ending. Our apartment had everything we needed. There was a fan, mosquito nets on the windows, and kitchen facilities. We used the pool, and the garden was inviting. The beach was 40-minute walk away. We enjoyed breakfast and dinner. The flavors of Gambian, Nigerian and Italian cuisine blended. We ate some of the best oysters. But Unique Owl isn't just a place, it's a feeling. The owner, Engha, has created the atmosphere of a home You want to return to. And if You're looking for a guide to the Gambia, ask for Ebrima. Thank You to all the staff.

There was a bird nature reserve with crocodiles 20 minutes walk away which was interesting.

Very relaxed oasis. Friendly staff and great food - we requested what we liked and they made it for our evening meal. This place would be ideal for a group yoga retreat. Peaceful garden and vibe

Inga and her partner Marco are the charming owners of Unique Owl Apartments. I spent two nights there and felt very comfortable. The breakfast is very generous, and Inga caters to all kinds of requests. The apartment has excellent beds and is superbly equipped with a kitchen and bathroom. Inga even helped me with a personal matter. The location is also wonderful; you can walk to a well-known beach in about 40 minutes via very quiet side streets. I would book this accommodation again and hope to return soon.

Wonderful!

I loved the peaceful environment, the gras, flowers and birds. The host is very lovely and treats you like family. I also enjoyed the fresh wind that comes through your window at night time I havent experienced quiet and cool nights like this in any other accomodations in Gambia. Also very nice that everything is solar powered, the regular national powercuts dont affect you at all. I recommend this!

Excellent

Engha and Marco run a beautiful, quietly located and extremely well-kept guesthouse close to the center. They do everything possible to ensure the comfort of their guests and to help them in every sense. Friendly, honest, good food.. In short: highly recommended for a short or longer stay in Sanyang.

The best place in Gambia. I had a very clean, nice room, the breakfast was the best I had in Africa/Gambia. ENGHA, she is such a friendly host. I will come back again. The place is very silence and clean, there is a beautiful garden, you can sit in the shadow and you have your breakfast outside, when you want. I M SO HAPPY HERE.

I’ll definitely be back and I strongly recommend this little gem.

Clean and comfortable with super friendly staff and owners. The breakfast was exceptionally good…. Freshly squeezed juice, homemade delicious pastry, a unique and delicious ‘ fried eggs with a twist’ dish and fresh coffee. Wow! And Ingar the owner is absolutely charming.
