Cottage holiday rentals in Kenya

the place is clean, clean water, closer to main road. everything as in the pictures, good check in and check out times. I would recommend this for people looking for a secure hosting.

Serene and beautiful place

Great location close to the lakefront as described. Also there is Carnellys restaurant nearby. Check-in was smooth and the host was responsive. We enjoyed the brunch at the garden area. Overall good stay! Thank you.

My friends and I ushered in 2025 here. It was a really good place with amazing views of fireworks. The bonfire was always lit and the jacuzzi always hot! Not ideal for more than 4 couples though (unless you don’t mind being in each other’s space). The chef did a fantastic job! 👌

I had a family visit to the facility, and it was one of those memorable vacations. No surprises as everything worked as it's supposed to. The rooms, AC, kitchen, and Internet were all on point. The location is breathtaking from the pool, poolside relaxation, gym, and, more importantly the private access to the beach. The Ola Ola restaurant was also affordable, within the bigger compound, and on point with Swahili Cousine. You don't even have to struggle with utensils..time better spent at the beach. A place to just visit and experience the wonderful side of Kenyan Coast. Dr. FIfi was also very helpful and a great host. Kudos.

I was looking for a home away from home as I was getting ready to make life changes and Kitt's was the perfect place to regroup: green and serene. A treasured experience. 💗

Our family had a fantastic stay - the beach was so close, our kids loved the pool and we enjoyed the sunrise/playing card games at the different view points. Highly recommend!

Sam and Harriet were very great at responding and advising with local /near by restaurants. Elijah at the house assisted a lot in the checkin and providing firewood for the fire place . Absolutely brilliant! The dogs (Nusu + Teddy and their friends ) amazing add on. Thanks again.

great stay. the photos don't do the place justice. amazing location. caretaker on site to help with anything. highly recommend

This is a beautiful, serene space, and we truly enjoyed our time there. Waking up to the stunning views of Mt. Longonot and Lake Naivasha was a highlight, and the afternoon swims made it even more special. It's conveniently located—not too far from town and close to local attractions—yet peaceful enough if you just want to stay in and relax. There are plenty of games and activities on-site to keep you entertained. The hosts were also incredibly warm and welcoming and they actively anticipated our needs. I would definitely love to come back!

A beautiful hidden gem. Calm and private surroundings, beautiful beach and wonderful staff.

Comfortable cabin with a beautiful garden and amazing views of Mount Kenya. Really close to rock climbing, shopping centres, and restaurants in Nanyuki, The Ol Pejeta conservancy and Ngare Ndare forest where you can hike and swim in natural pools depending on the season. Great for a weekend getaway :)

Edward and Ciiku were extremely helpful,their place was clean and an absolute getaway close to the city. The staff John and Elizabeth are very diligent and helpful.John was particularly a great support to us. We will definitely be back.

We had a wonderful stay here. It was a beautiful, peaceful location which looked just like the photos. Perfect for a group of friends who wanted a relaxing weekend in stunning surrounding. Stewart and Sandy were extremely friendly and helpful - very responsive to messages and friendly on arrival.

I had the absolute pleasure of staying at Rustic Aframe, and it truly exceeded all of my expectations. From the moment I arrived, everything felt just right — the atmosphere, the comfort, the cleanliness, and the attention to detail made it feel like a home away from home. It was everything I wanted and more. The staff were incredibly welcoming and accommodating, always available but never intrusive. The location was perfect — peaceful, convenient, and beautifully maintained. Every amenity was thoughtfully provided, and the space had a special charm that made it hard to leave. If you’re looking for a stay that combines comfort, style, and genuine hospitality, I wholeheartedly recommend Rustic Aframe. I’m already looking forward to coming back.

Words can’t describe her hospitality, such a great host ❤️

A great place to stay. Getting there was quite a distance from the tarmac but the host was kind enough to send us a rider to guide us to the place. A 4wd is highly recommended with good clearance because the car we used had quite some challenges with the underside being scratched on the way there...we were even lucky it hadn't rained that much but its an all weather road. The place itself is very very peaceful, fully off grid. A little pool to coom you off with a sauna adjacent to it. Only challenge were the bees, beatles, wasps and flies....but thats expected being next to the wild. An indoor outdoor experience Will definately be what you get in this place. The hosts were very very helpful especially John.

We have a lovely short stay at Ruth's, wish it was longer! Great location for going to Hell's Gate, etc.

My family and I had a great stay at The Kite cottage in Watamu. Sue is a great host, clear communication from the start and great recommendations for local activities. The house staff, Wasi, Josephine, Patrick and the guard Joseph all made us feel right at home and assisted us throughout our stay. Patrick, the chef, made delicious meals for us each day and helped us source fresh seafood. The pool was refreshing in the heat and the cottage is a short walk from Garoda Beach. Tuk Tuk’s were parked nearby for trips into town. Definitely recommend the Dhow trip in the guide book. Next visit we will likely stay somewhere with air conditioning, as the heat made it difficult for the baby to sleep but definitely recommend The Kite to others visiting Watamu.

Absolutely beautiful cottage - surrounding by trees with seating so you can enjoy the monkeys jumping around in the trees. Immaculately clean and very helpful and kind staff. Less than a minute’s walk to the beach. Highly recommend!

Such wonderful hosts! Very communicative and willing to answer any and as many questions as I had! Beautiful surroundings and exactly the oasis I was hoping for! Highly recommend!
