6 rooms from CA$206 per night

“Cocooned in a coastal forest with pristine white sands and turquoise waters. A home from home with four beautiful bedrooms decorated in white with four-poster beds. A private retreat with plenty of beach activities, relaxing and an opportunity to explore the wildlife with a game drive. ”

Hotel Review

Originally the colonial holiday home of the Archer family, long before the development of this famous beach area, the house is still a quiet retreat from the bustle of Diani. Sleeping up to 12 people, it is managed loosely by Lulu and John with the emphasis being on the feeling that this is a home from home. The bar is run on an honour system and you are very much free to come and go as you please, while the ever helpful staff are always in the background to help should you need.
