Super friendly team and eclectic mix of international guests and conservation volunteers to meet eating together at breakfast, lunch and dinner (if needed - they were very relaxed when we ate elsewhere or arrived late). Lots of fascinating chat. Basic rural-style rooms, good WiFi, working fans and a really special atmosphere. Church service option onsite on Sunday morning and lots of activities (they helped us arrange boat ride to snorkel and see dolphins, and we were dropped on the stunning beach outside afterwards). Sea swimming in minutes every morning. Delicious home cooked food - a whole red snapper one evening, and pancakes every morning. Cynthia, Betty and the team were a total delight even when only there for a few nights (some stay for months).

The place is in a magical location. The personnel is friendly and helpful. A special word goes to the chef, having lunch and dinner in the lodge is usually even better than at a restaurant.

The house is beautiful, comfortable, welcoming. The bedroom was clean, big and well protected from mosquitoes. The breakfast is really delicious, a mix of Kenyan and western style. The villa is close to the beach and the marine park for snorkeling.
