I RECOMEND THIS HIMAYA HOUSE BECAUSE SUPERB LOCATION, INCREDIBLE OWENER WHO TAKE CARE OF YOU EVERY DAY, SUPERB FOOD, VERY EFICCIENT AND HONEST STAFF, BESUTIFUL BEACH. AMAZING GARDEN AND SWIMMING POOL. .O PROBLEM AT ALL WITH BEACH BOYS.

We spent one of the best holidays we've ever experienced at Himaya house - couldn't recommend highly enough! Everything in our stay was perfect and well attended to. The house itself is in a gorgeous location, and is fabulously well-maintained as well as spotless. The food is to-die-for (especially the prawn curry), and Lissa's hospitality was absolutely incredible. In addition, Malindi itself is a lovely town, and also close to other great places to visit, including Tsavo national park (a few hours drive), the arabuko-Sokoke forest (about 30 minutes away), and Watamu (a nice coastal village) which we visited during our stay as well. Cannot wait to stay again!

Himaya is the most beautiful property in a totally stunning location. Perched on the corner, it gives views across the sea and length of the beach, allowing you to feel on the beach and also secluded at the same time. The bedrooms are peaceful with the warm breeze of the Indian Ocean drifting through and the staff were all truly wonderful. Sammy's cooking justifies the stay alone, and the professional and friendly service of the rest of the staff was really touching. I can't recommend the property highly enough and Lissa was a dream to deal with. We explored the surrounding area quite a bit whilst also finding time to relax. Through Lissa's contacts we were able to easily organise a private safari driver to take us to Tsavo, as well as a really wonderful trip to the Arabuko-Sikoki forest just South of Malindi where we saw some beautiful animals found nowhere else in the world. We spent time in Malindi Old Town and ate out at some really lovely local restaurants, including the Crab Shack where we managed to pinch the best table in the house for the sunset over the water. This property is an absolute paradise and I am alreay making plans to return in 2019.
