“A hidden gem, plus great Kitesurfing”
The property is incredibly beautiful and strikes a great balance between a local feel and international quality services. I particularly love the viewpoint over the beach and having a swimming pool was a bonus. It is also super convenient for the Kitesurfing classes. The staff were completely lovely at all times and extremely helpful in booking (and negotiating) transport to the town.

“Perfect location in Watamu”
Our cottage was lovely and private. A short walk through the property took us to loungers overlooking the beach and easy access to the sea. The food was excellent. The staff couldn't have been more helpful!!

“Beautiful and relaxing get away.”
I loved the healthy breakfast options, and the chef went above and beyond by preparing packed breakfasts for our early starts. The location is unbeatable, breathtaking views of the beach, and there are plenty of peaceful spots to unwind in a hammock or on a sunbed. Truly a hidden gem.
