Had a great family holiday and would definitely recommend it. Large house right on a quiet beach, fantastic pool set up above the house (so it is private) and friendly and helpful staff.

Wonderful quiet place right on the ocean. We went with two families with kids ranging from ages 2-14. All the kids had a great time. The pool was beautiful, the beach and house were great. I actually think that this is one of the only airbnb properties that I have stayed in where the pictures do not do the place justice. It's beautiful. If you are looking for parties, restaurants and a hopping night life then this is not the place for you. If you are looking to get away from it all with a good beach that is quiet and wonderful staff then book here. All questions were answered promptly, the house staff obviously have Tim's full trust and are very well informed. Internet was not working when we came but was corrected and handled very professionally and quickly. I highly recommend Wimbi Reefs

Wimbi Reefs was up to our expectations and maybe even better. The chaise lounges by both the poolside and in the lounging area in front of the house were thoroughly enjoyed. The staff were great with both cleaning up and cooking. If you're needing or wanting Internet access, then you might be somewhat disappointed, as Internet is sometimes unavailable and even when available, is slow. However, the house itself and the location are great, and the ability to buy and have prawns or lobster cooked for you - yum!

Wimbi Reefs is in the most idyllic and magical location, nestled between the most perfect white beach and a shady grove of mature trees, inhabited by fascinating little bush babies and the occasional monkey. The house is simple and rustic, perfect for a family, with lots of comfortable shady corners to sit and relax as you gaze out on to the ocean. The house staff were exceptional, so friendly and warm, taking care of our every need. We couldn't have been better looked after and the delicous fresh sea food prepared by Hamisi the chef each day was out of this world. The pool, up on a secluded cliff above the house, with a canopy of trees all around it was a wonderful place to relax in the heat of the day. All in all, a real treasure of a place that we hope to return to!

Wimbi reef is a very nice place. It has a beautiful setting right at the beach. The house is comfortable and fully staffed with pleasant personel. We played at the beach in the morning and went to the pool after lunch. Snorkling trips at the house reef (need a boat) are available, but the coral is under heavy pressure by fishing. Better make a daytrip to Wasini island with captain Ali. We had a great stay with 4 adults and 3 kids age 4-6

Wimbi Reef is beautiful, the environment is nice and chill thanks to the many trees. It's proximity to the beach is amazing, makes it easy to go for a dip and come back for a cocktail. The staff are friendly and very accommodating. Tim shares with you all the relevant information needed to make your stay comfortable. Having food delivered to the house (fish/seafood and vegetables) makes for a very easy stay. If you are looking for a chilled out holiday. Then this is the place to be.

Very nice, secluded, beach-front home with lovely pool and excellent staff making for a really relaxing vacation.

My friend and I stayed at Karibishwa Beach House two weekends ago and it was lovely. This is a perfect place for a beach vacation, in the quiet town of Msambweni and next to a nearly empty beach. The house is fantastic, the design and interior are light and spacious with a touch of African art to finish it off. We loved the big master bedroom with view on the beach, the swimming pool and the lounge seats inside the best. The chef cooked us an amazing 3-course dinner, the house was clean and tidy and the staff was lovely. Pieter was a great host, picked us up from town and good communication beforehand so the arrival and stay were all smooth. I can really recommend everyone to stay here to enjoy the beautiful Kenyan coast :)

Wirklich ein 'place next to heaven'. Wunderschönes Haus in einer ausgezeichneten Lage, stets sehr sauber und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Das Beste am Haus ist aber die Professionalität und die Freundlichkeit von Besitzer und Personal. Herzlichen Dank an Pieter, Rose und Said und dem Rest des Staffs. Danke auch für das wunderbare Essen und die vielen kleinen Aufmerksamkeiten.

This place is amazing. The design of the house makes it so that you can view the ocean from nearly any place in the house. The beach access is ideal. The pool is wonderful. Chef Steven certainly knows how to prepare his seafood. The place is secluded but it is only about 30 minute drive to Diani for shopping, etc. Pro tip: stop and do your shopping before you reach the house. Once you are there you won't want to leave.

What an excellent place to relax and get spoiled by the excellent staff who are very helpful in organizing, washing and most of all excellent cooks! Fresh fish, sweet fruit and don't forget the prawn curry! The town is non touristic, you will have the whole beach for you! But closeby you can visit touristic activities, like town Diani, Kisite Marine park or Shimba Hills national park. A recommend stop after a Kenian safari: chill-out at Jinchini!

Jinchini house is great for a beach holiday, it's so quite in the beautiful setting of the Kenyan coast. The house is very spacious with enough reading materials. The stuff , very friendly and helpful. The beach long and empty , the kind that makes you feel truly relaxed. I will forever go back to this house, it's simply paradise.

We have had the opportunity to spend a few days relaxing at Swali House as part of a business trip and we enjoyed every minute of it. Swali House is as close to an exceptional natural environment as you can get. From the vast terraces, you have a unique view of the ever changing Indian Ocean, surrounded by tropical gardens and wildlife. The stay is entirely hassle free, with discrete and helpful staff taking care of every wish. Upon arrival discuss with them the possibilities for meals and you'll be rewarded with the freshest fishes and seafood, cooked to perfection and served with African charm. We were here in the wet season and we were rewarded with very pleasant weather, the most beautiful skies and the crispest light between rainshowers. If you are looking for an authentic Kenyan oceanside experience away from the tourist activities, then we can unconditionally recommend Swali House.

Dear Penny, Swali, Kassimu, and Mohamed, I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to celebrate the 40th wedding anniversary of our parents at your home. Swali Beach House was the perfect place to relax, enjoy the simple beauty of life, fellowship, and learn about the unique coastal swahili culture. Chef Swali's culinary skills are amazing. I am thinking about his Grilled chicken, Beef Pilau, Grilled Red Snapper, Sunny Side Up Eggs, Coconut Curry Chicken, and many more. Thank you Kassimu for taking me on several canoe rides to the market. Thank you Mohamed for alway being available and welcoming to address any needs or request. Penny, your prompt responsiveness was much appreciated. For any one who would like to have a simple, peaceful, culturally sensitive and environmentally responsible vacation. Swali Beach House is a dream come true. Thank you.

Perfectly peaceful place for rest & Loved every moment!

House incredible, decorated with very good taste. If you love nature is your place, surrounded by trees and you will enjoy the dogs that live there. The beach is very near on foot (5mins). The house is in the middle of the bush, far from the main road. Karin is a very nice person.

J'ai passe un très bon séjour à Diani dans la villa.

Erikki's place is very nice especially if you are looking for a quiet and peaceful holiday this is the place to be. The beach is only few meters from the house and its private beach no beachboys or anyone who will disturb your peace. The swimming pool is nice you can relax by the pool after spending time at the beach. You can shower outside before you go to your room. The rooms a big and they are self contained. You even enjoy hot shower. I wish I could share some picutures . If you like cooking the kitchen facilities are very good you can cook or grill there is outside kitchen that has everything you would need.. if you don't feel like cooking for yourself you can get a chef for max 5 to 7€ Per day and with this price you get breakfast, lunch and dinner but you must buy the food to be cooked.. fee free to ask anything you want to know about this property. The other thing is transport is not hard to find if you don't have a car you can use some kind of tax that is easy to get with the help of the house keepers.

Beautiful spot, right on the ocean with lush nature and a brilliant outdoor kitchen. Highly recommended! We might need to come back for a longer stay : )

We had a great stay! place to ourselves, on the beach, no noise, very relaxing.

If you are looking for a peaceful getaway between a rainforest filled with butterflies and monkeys, and an empty paradise beach: Kaya Imani is the place you are looking for. The rooms are basic and clean, with a descent bathroom and mosquito nets. There is a basic shared kitchen and dining table outside. Unfortunately we weren't able to use the swimming pool but the good care from Mama Alice and Amani made our stay complete. The place is a bit away from the town, which makes it into the nice quiet place it is, but also a bit of a trip to go get basic groceries in town and not the best network for internet on your mobile phone. But if you are in for relaxation and you bring all your food (and anti-mosquito spray!) with you, you will have a great stay for sure. Would definitely go here again!

Kaya Imani is a gorgeous place! It's located right on the beach and has a medium sized swimming pool that’s always cool due to being in the shade. It was excellent value for money and I'd happily recommend it for a scenic and quiet getaway. Pluses: - The staff are amazing! They were friendly and courteous, without being intrusive and so I felt at home and was well taken care of. - Accommodation: the rooms are simple, clean, spacious and have beautiful views from the patio. There are also mobile sun beds for optimal sunbathing as well as patio couches where you can enjoy the sea views while remaining cool. - Kitchen: This is very well stocked but is missing a coffee maker and microwave oven so plan around that. As long as you bring your own food and drinks, you can also get someone to cook for you so you needn't worry about food preparation. - The beach is lovely: clean, white and sandy. However, there is some coral/rocks about 10 meters into the sea so look out for that. There is also some sea weed and sea grass but not enough to take away from an overall great experience. It was also not crowded and you can freely walk at any time of day without harassment from beach boys. Drawbacks: - Insect life: Due to the proximity to the beach as well as the abundant vegetation and rocks around, there is a large number of bugs and geckos. Carry lots of insect repellant/bite cream to combat this. - The location is pretty remote so if you are looking for a lively spot close to restaurants and clubs, this is not the place for you. If like me, you were looking for a quiet getaway for some rest and relaxation then you can find no better spot. - Distance from markets / shops: come with everything you need from Diani / Ukunda as the nearest shops and market are about 40 minutes walk / 15 minutes drive away. - The waves at high tide are quite strong so be prepared for a vigorous work out as you swim in the ocean :-) - Entertainment: There is no TV or WIFI, and the 3G/4G signal is weak inside the house so bring your own books, music, and entertainment. Or better yet use the time to disconnect and savour the peace and quiet. All in all, Eirik is a wonderful and communicative host. I completely enjoyed my stay at the beautiful Kaya Imani and look forward to going back.

Ein einfache aber Unterkunft bitte in der Natur!

The place is a great value, it'a a perfect one for a good relaxing vacation, also the environmnt, natural and human are really great. The hospitallity level is high indeed
