    What an amazing place right on the beach. Super happy I found it. Brilliant meals and dinners made by the utstanding cook Justice and a green and colorful garden kept wild and splendors by Oscar. Sandy white beaches and 30° water. Paradise

    The staff was so welcoming. You can tell a lot of effort is being put into the place, the garden is being redone and looking amazing already! It's also super quiet at night, you get lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves

    I personally liked best the homely atmosphere in the compound, great hospitality and obvious love for nature and environment. No unnecessary luxuary, but everything provided that one needs for a relaxing get away in a quiet place such as a marine...

This magnificent beach front property is available on a B and B option. We are a family run guest house. Couples have really enjoyed the quiet romantic appeal of the property. Our proximity to the beach and lush gardens are a draw card. We participate in a number of local conservation initiatives.
I was born in Nairobi in 1962 and have a passion for Nature. Kenya's biodiversity is spectacular and within half an hour from our property are 4 IBAs (Interesting Birding Areas)
There are so many things to do, to name a few: walking on the pristine quiet beach, goggling in the Marine Park's phenomenal Coral Gardens, amazing restaurants and bars, conservation projects, historical sites, kite surfing, diving, fishing and much more
