Private villa in Lamu style with private pool and cook/ staff 250 m to the beach

We arrived one day early. My mistake because I didn't check the dates. Monicah was at the house, contacted the owner and told us we could stay. Nothing was to much or a problem for them. The house was very clean, the rooms all had airco, the garden was well kept and the private pool was always clean. Every morning we had for breakfast what we wanted: pancakes, toast, eggs, everything was possible. Diner was always the best. Monicah is an absolute gem. Next time in kenya we will absolutely look foor renting this house.

The house needs painting inside, people hit the walls with things just doesn’t look great. Could use new bedding for sure, all bedding was clean just a little thin.Furnishings was ok not the most comfortable but everything was ok. The grounds are fantastic Robert kept the yard tidy and the pool very clean. We spent 10 day and had a great time. Our chief Monicah was fabulous she she made everything we asked for. Over all I would stay here again. The thing I mentioned paint and bedding would not keep me from going back. The owner was great when I messaged her she got right back to me. I did give a 5 star rating because the place was fantastic. Hope to visit again some day. Thank Linda L. & Cindy B.

Angefangen bei der Kommunikation mit der Eigentümerin Birgit in Deutschland lief alles perfekt für uns. In Mombasa angekommen wurden wir vom Haus organisiert von Peter (great driver - pleasant talks) abgeholt und von Monicah (Chef & Housekeeper) in der Villa empfangen. Das Haus, der Garten und der Pool waren super gepflegt (thanks to Roger - the gardener). Das Haus ist gut ausgestattet, Aircondition in den Schlafzimmern und schöne Bäder mit grossen Badetüchern, die man auch für den nur ca. 200m entfernten Strand mitnehmen durfte. Der Strand war sauber und bei Ebbe interessant für Tierbeobachtungen auf den vorgelagerten Felsen. Unser Highlight war aber die Betreuung durch Monicah, die nicht nur von den Kindern heissgeliebte Pfannkuchen und Omletts zu Frühstück zubereitete, sondern auch ganz nach Wunsch Fisch-, Fleisch- und vegetarische Gerichte schmackhaft auf den Tisch brachte. Selbst bei zwei Barbeques stand sie ihren Grillmeister :-) Freundlich, bescheiden und serviceorientiert hat Monicah unseren Aufenthalt mehr als bereichert. Nichts zu meckern als Deutscher- das geht nicht! Unser einziger kleiner Wermutstropfen war, dass die Liegen am Pool nur flach und keine Rückenlehne hatte. Also mal wieder jammern auf hohem Niveau bei einem Urlaub, der in Punkto Preis-Leistung absolut positiv für uns war.

When we first walked in a huge rat ran across the kitchen cabinets. The WiFi barely worked and we were constantly kicked off of it. Bugs were all over the house and we were constantly bitten at night. The hot water did not work in the extra bathroom. The property manager did respond promptly and put a rat trap out and tried to assist with the wifi and hot water. Overall there should be more attention to the property and amenities for guests.
