Description from owner
Description
An outstanding property on the headland with stunning panoramic ocean views. The property comfortably sleeps 10 people plus 2 children in its 5 ensuite double bedrooms.
The Master bedroom is up above the main living area. A separate guest wing has 3 bedrooms with verandas and steps leading down to the pool. Then there is a garden view room beneath a beautiful baobab tree. All rooms have bathrooms ensuite and their own verandas.
Each room has ceiling fans with additional standing fans if requested. As of 2022 we have air conditioning in 3 rooms. It has its own swimming pool, private beach access and a mature tropical garden. There are 5 staff offering true Kenyan hospitality.
Please note tripadavisor won't let us edit the number of rooms; in 2023 we built two new bedrooms hence being now a 5 bed house as listed in this description.
Further details indoors
The Kenya coast has a North and South Monsoon.
The winds blow from the North from around end of November through to April/May and then change to the South.
This obviously brings changes on the beach,
In the North Monsoon the sea weed is blown down towards the house and there for the beach is not a complete stretch of white sand.
There are always areas that are clear and where you can swim.
It is absolutely not a problem but I would like you to know the photographs are taken in the South Monsoon.
