Watamu Beach Cottages, hotel in Malindi

Just a few steps from Garoda Beach and a 13-minute walk from Short Beach, Watamu Beach Cottages features accommodations in Watamu, with a garden and barbecue facilities.

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.

A Rocha Eco-Lodge & Conservation Centre, hotel in Malindi

Just a few steps from Turtle Bay Beach and a 1-minute walk from Garoda Beach, A Rocha Eco-Lodge & Conservation Centre features accommodations in Watamu, with a garden, a terrace, and a shared lounge.

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.

    Patrick is a great host. He answered my text messages quickly and let us check in early. The room is a new, very clean apartment with a comfortable bed and hot shower. It also has a well stocked kitchen. It is excellent value for money, and I will stay here again if I'm back in Malindi.

    The breakfast, the pool, the security, the compound is beautiful and very close proximity to the beach and restaurants and attractions....Bernard is a great host, Magu-Gandhi made sure our room looked perfect everyday bringing us fresh towels and clean sheets..... Daniel was only 1 of the security team but always greeted us with a warm and courteous smile...our request to check in early because we were arriving at 5am was also a big plus after 18hrs of travel, the entire Beverly team was magnificent! Definitely will return!
