“Incredible one day stay.”
The space has tasteful decor. The bed is comfortable with clean and fresh bedsheets. The kitchen is well equipped for making a meal. It is walking distance from the beach so we enjoyed a morning walk with no hustle.

“Nice place”
Staff and public areas were nice, location is good, near the mall with a bank and supermarket. The mattress was superb, rock solid, supporting equally everywhere. It felt new. The room had a single window, partially blocked by a screen to stop people seeing inside which together with the lack of air-conditioning made the room very hot. Apparently they will put in air-conditioning soon. I'd come back once that's in place. There was a big fridge in the common kitchen and a reasonably sized one in the room as well. Good water pressure.

“Much better stay than the big resorts in Watamu!”
We booked this room in the morning and a few hours later we had a clean room in a warm and welcoming home. Because we only stayed for one night, we didn't really get to talk with the people but it felt like all was well, very relaxed and safe. It also had a fridge.
