The location was super: wery close to ocean, a little bit far from Watamu so it was quiet and private. The beautiful Garoda beach was 2km walking distance. There were kind and friendly community. They help me with everything I needed. It was supernice to have tasty meals together with them. You can see a Milkyway in the sky and monkeys in the morning playing on the roof. This is haven for naturelovers.

This really is the best place to stay on the Kenyan coast. It's not fancy, but it's a fantastic place in a perfect spot right next to a gorgeous stretch of beach. I live in Nairobi and have stayed at lots of places on the Kenyan coast, and the Watamu Beach Cottages is my favourite by far. The staff were friendly and helpful, the bungalow was beautiful and comfortable, and the viewpoints (where you can sit and enjoy the view of the ocean) were amazing. And the snack bar has great food! I'll definitely be back.

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😊.
