Had a great stay! The property is stunning — the plot is very spacious with a huge garden that’s well maintained. It’s the perfect spot to relax, enjoy a morning coffee, or just take a peaceful walk. The staff were another highlight — super friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. The room was clean, cozy, and had everything I needed. The whole place has a calm and peaceful vibe that made it easy to unwind.

This house is huge and very well-decorated. Everything in it has so many details: paintings, furniture, lights, Mirrors, a bathroom, and glasses (made from used wine bottles) in the kitchen. There is a very large living room. We loved the lighting in the bedroom, which has a very soft design. The kitchen has everything one needs: an espresso machine, sandwich machine, toasters, you name it. Every bedroom has its own terrace, and our favourite one was the top terrace outdoor shower with a view of the ocean, so you are connected to the water. It is a very safe compound with a large pool. There are good restaurants nearby, and the beach next door is like a postcard. We were impressed that the whole house runs on solar energy.We highly recommend it and will definitely be coming back soon.

    We arrived at Tembo Village and directly felt welcomed. Jojo the manager showed us the whole comport, our room and gave us a lot of informations about Watamu. We had our own kitchen and a outside livingroom. It was all clean and comfortable. We extended our 3 nights stay and ended up staying with her for 2 weeks. The pool was big and clean.
