    This place was AMAZING! Before booking, I struggled to find a bad review and didn't get one. The owner mentioned that they usually have clients who want to extend their stay. I now understand why. The location is a few kms from the beach but the...

The property is situated in half an acre plot and it has six apartments in them. Each apartment is fully equipped with ultra-modern facilities and a good lighting system. The property has a bit of African and classic touch that brings the mood of comfortability and togetherness. Within the property, one can enjoy good "Nyama Choma" or Barbecue while having a bit of a swim in the swimming pool. The property is situated a two-minute walk from the beach and on the rooftop, one can view the breathtaking peaceful environment.
I am a business lady who enjoys the daily interaction with my guests or business partners. I have a rich background in PR, Marketing and organizational development. Majorly, I want to uplift the youths and people from low-income communities including the vulnerable in society through various forums I organize with my team. Everything about my work and achievements can be found on Elimisha Empowerment website
The neighbourhood is just amazing. The property is situated next to the historical Kongo River where you can admire the beauty of the Mangroove forest and even take a boat ride. The neighbourhood is well known for its unforgettable sunset view and the connection between the Kongo River and the Indian Ocean. There is a main gate that welcomes you to other neighbours around who are welcoming as you proceed to drive towards V-Szameitat Homes. There are also many five-star hotels around and restaurants that one can visit. Also, Diani Beach hospital and Carrefour supermarket are about five minutes drive from the property.
