This is a family run guest house. A wonderful peaceful place to spend quality time. Our staff will ensure you have the most of your time to chill and relax. We are on the beachfront so only a few steps to the beach. Let us arrange a cook for you so that shopping and meal preparation are covered.
I love Nature. The Watamu Community is very involved in all aspects of Sustainable Conservation and we are happy to be part of this thriving village.
History and Nature. Mainly relaxing, sunbathing or walking but also more active things to do like deep sea fishing (fish are tagged and released), kite surfing, diving, snorkelling and so much more.
