Property information

The first guests in Forest View were welcomed in January 2020, the feedback so far has been great. The central location, the quality of the building, the welcoming staff, just a short walk to the beach of Kololi and nearby several restaurants, bar and shops. The complex has a modern feel to it and is unique in it's kind in Gambia. Each apartment is individually furnished and decorated. Forest View is your ideal base for a holiday, a short or long stay, be it for work or for leisure.

Neighbourhood information

In the heart of Kololi, next to the International Conference Center and nearby many good restaurants like Scala, El Sol, Gusto and 3 Chicks. Several bars are also within walking distance. The night life is vibrant in this part of Gambia. The sandy beach of Kololi and the Atlantic ocean are not even 300 meters from Forest View. You can't get more central then in Forest View.
