The space
The Villa
This villa is exceptionally private and completely invisible from any other accommodation on our site or elsewhere.
Set on a clifftop directly overlooking the ocean, it is positioned just to the right of the beach, approximately 50 metres away. Easily manageable stone steps lead directly down to the sand, giving you quick and private beach access.
The villa sits within a 25-acre walled estate, which also contains two other villas, all carefully positioned to ensure privacy.
Because of its security, discretion, and seclusion, this villa is frequently chosen by Nairobi-based and other African diplomatic missions. We have also hosted several Hollywood guests, and Kevin Costner is booked to stay on the property later this year.
If you are looking for a peaceful, secure, and truly private place to stay, you have found it.
Please read our reviews for confirmation.
The villa is equipped with Star link Wi-Fi.

Security: Please be aware that due to our business with Diplomatic missions and other NGO's we have a security policy that only allows accredited taxis/transfers onto our property. Tuk Tuks and unknown motor cycles (Boda Bodas) will not be given access to the interior. We pride ourselves on privacy.
Transfers
We have had on a number of occassions incidences when Tuk Tuks and taxis claim to know the way to our place.
They convieniently get lost and end up charging clients far more than the quoted fare.
Our own transfer vehicles and drivers have been with us for years, they know the way and we trust them completely.
Upon booking you will receive a factsheet with all transfer prices and lots more.
Airbnb has a policy on bugs and insects. I doubt if there is anywhere in Africa or any other continent for that matter where you will not find some form of what we call Dudus. i.e Something that is small and moves or flies around. Could be anything from an ant to a grasshopper etc etc. At the moment there are swarms of locusts affecting the northern part of Kenya and our neighbours to the north Sudan and Somalia. We have not been affected here in any way but it is our duty as a host to inform guests of their existence.
