This house is huge and very well-decorated. Everything in it has so many details: paintings, furniture, lights, Mirrors, a bathroom, and glasses (made from used wine bottles) in the kitchen. There is a very large living room. We loved the lighting in the bedroom, which has a very soft design. The kitchen has everything one needs: an espresso machine, sandwich machine, toasters, you name it. Every bedroom has its own terrace, and our favourite one was the top terrace outdoor shower with a view of the ocean, so you are connected to the water. It is a very safe compound with a large pool. There are good restaurants nearby, and the beach next door is like a postcard. We were impressed that the whole house runs on solar energy.We highly recommend it and will definitely be coming back soon.

We booked a week at the Rafiki Jua in Watamu, precisely the Rafiki Jua is located inside the Rafiki Tamu, a brand new residence consisting of several apartments (The structure looks like in the photos). Rafiki Tamu is a modern and new structure located exactly halfway between Watamu center and the beautiful beach of Sardinia 2. Our apartment was on the ground floor, overlooking the pool, consisting of dining room with kitchen, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. All nicely decorated with a fantastic African style. Inside the structure the entire staff is super helpful, consisting of receptionists, security, cleaning and laundry service (included in the price), masseuses at a very competitive price, chef (available to prepare breakfasts, lunches and dinners). For those who do not want to experience a village I highly recommend Rafiki.

It is nearly impossible to describe our lovely time at Chris House. The house is very beautiful and always clean, and the staff were exceptional and very helpful. It felt like home ( a gorgeous one). The house is close to the main road, the beach is close by - literally like 5 minutes walk. Chef Ndume made us very tasty meals. The host was always available on call and via chat and our requests were always honoured. We truly appreciate Giovanna for her kindness and the warm welcome to Chris House. I would recommend Chris House to anyone visiting Watamu. It was truly worth it. <3

Little paradis with makuti clad house in coastal style with a small pool and beautiful plants and flowers all around it. The caretaker is very helpful and a source of information. The seas if you want you can reach on foot, but bodaboda's are always nearby.

Great place to stay and relax and enjoy. The rooms were comfortable with great beds and nicely appointed bathrooms. Spent most of our time hanging out by the pool or under the expansive balcony just reading and relaxing.Although there were other Villas we were the only ones there for much of the time so felt we had the place to ourselves. The chef was AMAZING. He prepared breakfast and dinner for us and we loved every meal. He clearly enjoyed what he was doing and we loved eating what he cooked! Easy to get into Watamu village and great walks along the beach and surrounding tracks.

    Incredible, we loved every moment. Samuel, Ken and Sharon were all so welcoming and went above and beyond, we felt right at home. We worked remotely here for a week and it was the only place in watamu we were able to work, due to the great wifi and if there was a power cut Samuel had the generator on straight away. These villas are just breathtaking! If you go to watamu stay here! We loved every moment and will definitely be back.
