Heaven on earth
We arrived over a bumpy road leading down to the beach only to turn into a gate which hid a magical sanctuary. The first thing you see is the wonderful pool house and beautiful pool. Then we were greeted by the staff from the house who were all absolutely incredible throughout our whole stay. We walked into the lovely airy entrance and immediately felt completely at home. All the rooms are fantastic and the beds are so comfortable. There are so many places to relax around the house, and we all spent the whole week finding our own favourites. The entire place was incredibly special and we feel privileged to have spent a week there. If you are considering staying here you should not hesitate. You should be aware that because of rising fuel costs in Kenya there is an extra charge for air conditioning and if you need to run the generator in case of power outages you will need to supply fuel however this is understandable. The area of Mambrui is a beautiful stretch of beach that is completely deserted most of the time. You can walk straight onto the beach from the gate. There is a beach bar nearby that plays music quite loudly at times but it is not every day and not all the time. It is around a 20 minute drive to Malindi which is the nearest place with a supermarket and pharmacy etc. however Ruwa the chef can source local fish and vegetables from the local vendors. We had the most fantastic week and we are already planning another trip as soon as we can.
