Why stay with us

Small enough to notice you

Five minutes from the sand

The Watamu Marine National Park is a short, shaded walk from the gate — one of the finest stretches of reef on the Kenyan coast.

Book direct, pay less

No platform commission and no booking fee. You deal with the people who actually run the property, from first enquiry to check-out.

Safaris arranged in-house

Tsavo in two days, the Mara in three. We run our own safari desk, so your beach days and bush days are planned together.

Your own driver on call

Airport, SGR and hotel transfers in vetted vehicles with drivers we know, at fixed prices agreed before you travel.

Secure and staffed

A manned gate day and night, off-street parking and a backup generator, so the power cuts are somebody else's problem.

Straight answers, quickly

Every enquiry reaches a real person. Most are answered the same day, in English or Kiswahili, by WhatsApp or email.

Mida Creek near Watamu

The destination

Watamu, Kilifi County

Watamu sits on a stretch of coast where the reef comes close enough to swim to. The marine national park was one of the first in Africa, and between the coral gardens, the turtles and Mida Creek behind the town, there is a great deal to do without ever getting in a car.

When you do, the Gede Ruins are ten minutes inland, Malindi is half an hour up the road, and Tsavo East is close enough to reach before the morning game drive is over.
