The property has pool and garden views, and is 23 km from Watamu National Marine Park. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. Everyone was so kind! We had a wonderful stay. Love the pool. They even gave us a sample of dinner ribs to try they were amazing. Rooms cleaned daily and towels refreshed which we really appreciate. Comfortable bed and quality linens. The property is very charming. Grace was so sweet. Also Luciano was so pleasant whenever we saw him. We would comeback again when visiting Watamu. Loved being off the main rd in a local village. Very near a store, a lovely man selling eggs and even a salon for hair braiding. Quick walk up the road to catch a boda boda or Tuk Tuk. Garoda beach was our favorite
