This modern furnished apartment is on the second floor of a clean and spacious villa within a gated compound. It is suitable for a couple (with child) who would like to have a quiet place to stay in Diani. Continental breakfast is included and can be served in the room or garden between 7 and 10 am. The place is safely guarded, close to the town center and only a 7 minutes walk away from the beach. There is a spacious garden with a large swimming pool and a shaded gazebo with sun beds. The 75 m2 apartment has a spacious bedroom with a king-sized bed and a ventilated bathroom en suite, including hot shower and toilet. In the living room there's a 50" flatscreen with Netflix, a water dispenser and a breakfast table with three soft cushion chairs. The sofa can be transformed into a comfortable bed for an additional guest. There is also a large private balcony with great lounge seats overlooking the garden with our 15 m long swimming pool. This place is not suitable for party-goers or guests looking for hookups. Kindly respect our policies.
Hilda is very pleasant and welcoming hostess who finds joy in making guests feel comfortable and at home. She will be serving breakfast at the living room between 7 and 9.30 am and is available for help or requests during your stay until 7 pm.
The property is located in the Galu Beach area, about 550 meters from the ocean. It is surrounded by lush vegetation and is near the Colobus Monkey Conservation Centre. Oftentimes, you can even see the Colobus monkeys playing around and feasting on our garden flowers. Just around the corner you'll find Diani Backpackers where you can have a great dance and drink during the weekends.
