2 Bedroom Cottage Diani Beach Holiday Rental, Kenya (Sleeps 4 / 5)

The cottage is located 10 minutes walk from Galu Beach and built in African style with a Makuti roof (palm tree leaves) with all European luxury. Therefore it does not get so unbearably hot. Downstairs there are two separate double bedrooms, a bathroom with toilet and a kitchen. The kitchen offers a cooker (gas and electricity), an oven and a fridge. Sufficient kitchen utensils are available. The dining area is outside under the covered terrace. Upstairs is a very big open space with sofas and another single bed. All the beds are equipped with mosquito nets. The villa is on a compound with another villa and 1 other cottage (Villa Peppercorn and Old Mombasa) and is surrounded by a very beautiful and large tropical garden with several palm trees and other bushes. The swimming pool is more or less in the middle of the garden, 12 m long and 6 m broad with a very agreeable temperature at around 30 degrees and is shared with the other 2 houses. For the guests´ comfort there are five employees: 2 housemaids who will do all the cleaning and a swimming pool attendant and a gardener. There is also a security guard at night. The villa is located among many houses built in the same style. The next restaurant Boko-Boko is about 5 minutes by foot. It is recommended to rent a car in case you do not want to travel by matatus (Kenyan public transport by minibus). The next bigger shops are about 5 – 6 km far away which means about 10 minutes by car. In Diani Beach there are many restaurants, bars and bigger hotel complexes. All of them are within 5 – 15 minutes drive from the villa. To Mombasa town it takes about 1 hour depending on the ferry which you have take to get there. The nearest National Park is Shimba Hills where you can see elephants and lots of other wildlife. This also takes about 1 hour to get there, further south are Wasini Island for dolphin watching and Wazaro Beach, one of the most beautiful places on the coast.

More about the Area

This is the most developed beach on Kenya's south coast with hotels, self-catering resorts, banks, curio shops, supermarkets and hustlers. Here you'll find white beaches, palm trees and coral reefs to explore by day and clubs to wade through by night. Those preferring the quiet life and whose aim it is to get away from sun-starved Europeans should reconsider a visit. Having said this, there is lovely bird watching at the Tiwi River, located near the Indian Ocean beach club, and in the south the beach experience does become more tranquil.
