Guest review

10.0

Mitten in der Natur in einem kleinen Cottage, ganz allein, gut versteckt im Wald, und ein paar wenige Schritte vom privaten Bootssteg entfernt. Ismail ist ein wunderbarer Gastgeber, diskret, kundenorientiert und sorgfältig. Unser besonderes Glück war, dass wir im Dorf essen "mussten" - auch das war perfekt. Das ist eine Ecolodge, die ihren Namen verdient.

Gar nichts, es ist toll und wir kommen wieder. Künftige Besucher sollten aber wissen, dass die Bar aus einer Tonne mit ein paar Softdrinks besteht und der Luxus aus der Nähe zur Natur besteht.

A secret paradise

10.0

Amazing location in a lush forest right by the ocean . Very peaceful. Amazing sunsets. Everyday fresh caught seafood. Very helpful host who knows everything about the island and surrounding national park. Beautiful sailing in traditional Swahili ships to islands that n the marine national park. The islanders were very friendly and hospitable. This island is a hidden gem.

Sanfter Tourismus auf einer Insel nur mit Solarenergie und Regenwasser

9.0

Der Inhaber hat sehr kreativ gebaut. Der Tourismus ist sehr umweltschonend. Der persönliche Service ist herzlich und sehr hilfreich.

Gehbehinderte Gäste sollten zuvor bei Ismael fragen, ob die Überfahrt zur Insel und der Aufstieg vom Boot zu den Cottages möglich ist.

Off the beaten path

10.0

For something unique and incredibly special, this place is it! Professional, well-spoken, very helpful host, Ismail will meet you at the boat and welcome you to a lovely cottage in the bush. Easy transfer with beautiful scenery. Cottage is clean, everything is taken care of, you sleep to the sound of waves and nature. It is safe and you can do a walking tour to see the friendly, local village. Healthy, fresh meals of big portions are served at the dining area up between the trees. An unforgettable experience on the small island of Wasini for those who like to go off the beaten path and experience authentic bush/beach life. Ismail will also help you book your tour to the National Park, he was extremely helpful every step of the way and made sure I was happy with everything. Unbeatable service. Thank you to the owner and hosts who welcome visitors to experience your beautiful piece of Earth and showing great Swahili hospitality. What a blessing to be so close to God՝s creation.

Make sure you have mpesa or bring alot of cash

Une jolie maison de pierre à côté de l ocean, dans un ecrin de verdure. On peut voir des petits singes directement de la fenêtre de la chambre. La cuisine y est délicieuse et généreuse. Ismael est un hote très accueillant, et très sympa.

Dommage peu de plage, la baignade sur wasini n est pas evidente.
