What Our Guests Are Saying
Posted on Airbnb MarshaVerified The house and location was glorious and perfect in every way! We would book it again and again!Posted on Airbnb BobbyVerified Beautiful place with a stunning location and a lovely chef and staff. Thank youPosted on Airbnb SandraVerified We were warmly received by his staff and they were very pleasant through out our stay.Posted on Airbnb CristinaVerified AMAZING! Location, location. Everything was absolutely amazing. Watch out for the monkeys!Posted on Airbnb RachelVerified We stayed as a group of three families and had a fantastic time. The house is beautiful, very spacious, and in a secure compound just a short walk from the beach, making it easy to check the conditions before taking all the kids down.Mikhail was a great host with excellent communication. He kindly accommodated an early check-in and late check-out, met us on arrival, and welcomed us with a chilled bottle of wine.The chef, Saudi, was a real highlight. Every meal was delicious, and he took care of everything from shopping to serving and cleaning up. The fresh local seafood he sourced was exceptional.There are plenty of monkeys around, so it's worth being mindful of food and open doors. Although there's no air conditioning, the evenings were cool enough to sleep comfortably with the fans provided.We had a minor issue with hot water in a couple of rooms, but it wasn't a major problem during our stay. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend this propertPosted on Airbnb GillianVerified An absolutely stunning property. Nothing quite like it. Spotlessly clean, huge and comfortable beds, pristine pools, had everything you needed and close to shops and restaurants. It really felt like an exquisite treat. Chef Saidi created the most delicious meals and Esther made everything feel like home. This is a brilliant place to stay.Posted on Airbnb HarryVerified Thanks for an amazing stay. We loved it.Posted on Airbnb NickVerified We stay in the house for 5 nights in June as a group of 9. The accommodation was just like the pictures, in Swahili style with plenty of room inside and out. The gardens are well maintained, as is the pool. The location is very good, close to the beach but also the main road so was handy for catching tuk-tuk's for trips to the shops or local restaurants. The house was very clean and the staff we friendly and efficient. We hired the chef for just one of the days and he was exceptional. The plumbing was a little eccentric with a couple of the taps not working and the water not always that hot, but these were minor details. As in the description there is no air conditioning but ceiling and electric fans which were sufficient.A word of caution - there are a number of monkeys at the property which will take anything left unattended, including sunglasses! Overall, we would be happy to visit again and would recommend staying here when in Diani!Posted on Airbnb KimVerified Very nice place, recommended. Felt really safe, only little point is that there is construction going on next door but it was not super loud, just in a few occations. Monkeys pass by every day which is a fun experience.Posted on Airbnb SilviaVerified What a lovely place with so much space. Perfect for a family vacation. It was less than a 5 minute walk to the beach. Highly recommend
