We stayed for 4 nights and felt at home in our en suite double with kitchen. There was a problem with the ceiling fan in living room which we reported but nothing was done before we left so it was pretty hot during the day. Also, the mosquito net in the bedroom blocked the air coming from the ceiling fan... More

We loved staying here, we wish we could have stayed longer. We stayed in cottage number three. The rooms are just awesome -clean, airy, just really comfortable. We had a huge fridge, which really came in handy. The cottages also have a veranda for relaxing. I am very scared of bugs and crawlies and I really appreciate the fact that... More

Stayed here with a large group. Plumbing doesn't work and toilets don't flush. No hot water and the water trickles out of the shower at best. The Management would say they fixed the issues when you reported them but they never did. Towels and sheets are filthy. They overbooked and kicked us out of our room the last day. Staff... More

We would like to first clarify some matters as depicted here,we do understand the plight of hot water was there at the time but that was in relation to a specific cottage and furthermore was due to a technical fault and given that equipment such as heaters are sourced from Nairobi it may have taken a day or two to...

We had to stay here for ten days. Due to a severe skin-burn I couldn't drive to another place for more than a week. On arrival the place seemed nice. It looked safe, showers (cold water only) and toilets were simple but ok, there was a cooking area with power and a fridge (!). Campsite is 5 minutes walk from... More

We came here by chance - called the Stilts, they were full and gave us the details for Diani Campsite. And we really thank them for that! We were welcomed by Andrew, the manager's son, and our cottage was perfect: nice bed, big room, good shower and an amazing terrace with a sofa and couches. And tonnes of sweet cats,... More

Great place for a beach holiday with children, or just for two. No seaview, but the beach just steps away. Twelve simple cottages, and space for a few tents. The place is clean, the beds good with mosquito nets and fans (no AC). Cold showers only, but who needs a hot shower on a tropical beach. Most cottage have a... More
