Randu welcomed us with a run down of how everything works, showed us the house and helped us sign in. It was very professional and felt very warm. The house was lovely, clean and comfortable. The air conditioning was a great to have and our stay could not have been better. Thanks so much to Randu and his team!

Luxe 4 BdrmVilla Malindi own-compound&Private pool

EstherRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Our family had an amazing stay at this Airbnb! Traveling with a 2-year-old can be tricky, but this spotless, well-equipped home made it effortless. Chef Steave’s meals were five-star, and John kept everything immaculate. The location was perfect; close to Malindi town and Naivas supermarket yet peaceful and safe. Plenty of space for our little one to play, and we felt at home from the start. If you want a luxurious, family-friendly getaway with top-notch service, this is the place to be!

This was our second stay at this lovely spot in Watamu. Beautiful garden, pool and chill-out area. This is really great for groups and just a short walk away from the ocean, where there are a lot of restaurants and beach bars. But Thomas the chef is also amazing - we had so many delicious seafood and meat dishes throughout our stay. Couldn’t recommend enough!
