Waridi House

Watamu Beach, Watamu

Located within less than 1 km of Mapango Beach and a 10-minute walk of Watamu Bay Beach, Waridi House provides rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Watamu. This guest house features a private pool, a garden and free private parking. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, a shared kitchen and currency exchange for guests. Best stay ever! We usually hesitate booking an accommodation that doesn’t have a lot of reviews and damn would we have missed out! This was the best accommodation we have ever been to! Stunning house and the loveliest service personnel. Everything was absolutely perfect. The only thing we regret is not staying longer. 12/10 would 100% book it again.

Villa Fortuna Malindi

Malindi

At the guest house, all units are fitted with a wardrobe. Some units feature a private entrance. At the guest house, the units come with bed linen and towels.

Bio-Ken Snake Farm is 20 km from the guest house, while Arabuko Sokoke National Park is 33 km from the property. Malindi Airport is 7 km away, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service. The place felt like home, great location with a perfect ambiance and easily accessible to motorbikes and tuktuks though they might tend to overcharge you so it's best to ask someone from around the pricings then move easily. Damaris is such a great host and the breakfast was incredible. Will definately book my next stay here in Malindi😊.

The guest house features family rooms and facilities for disabled guests. Beautiful seafront cottage; spacious and very well equipped. Very helpful and friendly staff, who went out of their way to help us with our work at Mida Creek. Lovely grounds and pool, in a spot that is well removed from the busier northern end of Watamu Bay, but still readily accessible. Lovely beach, with relatively few people other than kite surfers. Remarkable value for money. We would happily stay again.
