The location here is excellent for accessing Shela beach, and I received a complimentary upgrade to a king room, which was a nice touch.

Great location, Beautiful property, full of Artwork and Antique Swahili furniture. Amazing views along waterfront and over the historic town. Great staff, and wonderful breakfasts served in courtyard garden

Whilst there is good phone reception and internet signal is good, there is no wifi offered at the property .
