“Our stay at Swahili House was bittersweet.
I agree with other reviews that mention the misleading pictures since there are several different houses for rent.
There are three pools but you only get access to one ("your") pool. So forget about the others. The water in the pool was very warm. The pool's cleaning system was off now and then so we had to ask to turn it on.
We stayed at Lofty Cottage for 5 nights. The house' Swahili style was very special. The furniture was unique and beautiful……
“It’s high quality accommodation in a beautiful garden in Diani.
Rooms are very large, both bedroom and bathroom. Also a lovely balcony overlooking the gardens.
Very handy, walkable, to the amazing beach. Short Tuk-Tuk ride to the supermarket and restaurants.
The pool is dreamy, water sparkling clean and warm.
Breakfast is a real treat, the evening meal (if ordered) a bit of a disappointment.
We will be back.”
“staff are friendly, very nice environment, walking distance to the near by beach, good swimming pools. India and beach side restaurants' food are delicious
”
“The lush greenery around the property is appealing. However, there was confusion over the reservation, which took a while to sort out. Gaining access to the room, we discovered there were no towels. It took us three calls to reception and an hour and a half wait before receiving the towels.”
