We arrived, my son and his wife and I early on Saturday morning after twenty four hours of travel and were warmly welcomed by the manager, Muramba and his two assistants, Salim and Zaidi. Our first impressions was the stunning beauty of the location overlooking the Indian Ocean, a short walk away.

The villa is just off the main Mombasa Malindi road after the Kilifi bridge.  The approach is up a rather bad lane of 3 KM but it is an interesting journey in a taxi, on a tuktuk or on the back of one of the many motor bikes that are available to transport you around. Tuskys excellent supermarket is nearby for major needs but there are a few little shops on the way to the villa. A tuktuk to the supermarket return should cost no more than 500 KES (€5). The locals are really warm and friendly.

The villa was well maintained and beautifully furnished with the master bedroom en-suite and the other two bedrooms beside the bathroom. On the veranda there is a large dining table and lots of comfortable seating and the sun hits it from early afternoon through the remainder of the day. 

Muramba and his men were excellent hosts and always on hand to give help and advice. They provide boating and other water activities. 

We can highly recommend  Sunset Villa for a week of peaceful tranquility in breathtaking beautiful surroundings with well maintained gardens and close proximity to the beach.

Das Domiziel, wir waren im Appartement Nr 1 untergebracht hat uns sehr gefallen. Der grosse saubere Pool, die Anlage mit viel Beumen und Streuchern alles schön grün. Das nette Personal, Im Haus alles sauber. Die Wohnung selber sehr gemütlich eingerichtet ( Kerzen, Bilder an der Wand, Tepiche usw. ) Küche mit allem eingerichtet was mann zum kochen braucht. Mit fast allem ausgestattet. In der Wohnung fühlt mann sich geborgen, wie im eigenem Zuchause. Mann kann auch in Malindi viel unternehmen und es giebt viele Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Wir waren 5 Wochen, die sehr erholsam waren!

"Maison fonctionnelle dans un magnifique jardin à quelques pas de plusieurs petites plages de sable entourées de palétuviers sur la Kilifi Creek ( grand bras de mer entrant dans les terres), le personnel est chaleureux, serviable et efficace dans l’organisation du séjour, nous avons explorés avec le canoë et Saïd nous a emmené avec le bateau à moteur visiter l’île aux oiseaux au coucher du soleil, époustouflant ! Endroit idéal au repos, à la contemplation, et découverte de la vie Africaine des villages. Je peux que conseiller cet endroit authentique et unique "

"we had a perfect holiday . The food cooked for us was excellent . The staff were so helpful taking us to their local village and schools . We got a real understanding of kenyan life. They organised trips for us . We had nothing to do or think about as they over saw to all our needs . The house was very clean . The pool was not small as the photographs seem to indicate . The view from the house was lovely and the gardens very pretty ."

"We have just returned from a fanstastic 2 week stay at Sunset Villa. The villa is comfortable and charming and the location is just stunning. We could not fault the staff and would like to thank Muramba and Saidi for their hospitality, local knowledge but above all, their friendship during our stay. Muramba is a whizz in the kitchen and cooked us many different swahili dishes which were extremely tasty and Saidi introduced us to his village and their way of life. He also arranged for us to meet the local Womens Project. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sunset Villa for a great holiday."

"From the moment we arrived, we were stunned with our good luck in selec ting this piece of heaven. The villa was lovely and serene and Team Sunset Villa (the amazing staff) made us feel like royalty, keeping the pool beautifully clean and inviting, arranging our transportation into town and cooking us amazing meals. The accomodation was beyond compare and although we had considered the site to be accurate, it simply didnt do it justice. The villa had a stunning view, beautiful grounds, access to the creek and a comfortable veranda from which to watch the sunsets each evening. We would absolutely recommend this vacation spot for its authenticity, relaxing atmosphere and beautiful locale."

"Superbe villa située dans un cadre enchanteur, une vue à couper le souffle avec de magnifiques couchers de soleil. Le chant des oiseaux au réveil. Margareth et Georges sont des hôtes remarquables dune infinie gentillesse et dun sens profond du partage. Grâce à eux nous avons découvert les us et coutumes dun magnifique pays. Mouramba et Seïdi (le cuisinier et le jardinier) sont là pour nous aider et soccupent de tout, tant au niveau domestique que touristique. A découvrir les très typiques tuku-tuku si pratique pour les petits déplacements."

Hallo, der Urlaub in der Sunsetvilla hat uns sehr gut gefallen und wir konnten uns sehr gut erholen. Es war sauber, ruhig, die Umgebung o.k., die Aussicht super und die Vermieter waren sehr nett. Maguerite und Geroge sind wirklich sehr angenehme Menschen und wir freuen uns ihre Bekanntschaft gemacht zu haben. Bisschen besser hätten die Wasserversorgung im Sanitärbereich (Toilette und Dusche) und die Elektrizität funktionieren können. Eine funktionierende Klimaanlage wäre auch super gewesen. Viele Grüße

"E decisamente unottima soluzione per soggiornare liberamente, senza i vincoli degli orari degli alberghi. La posizione è centralissima,lappartamento è pulito, dotato di tutti i confort, in un bel residence, ma non dimentichiamo che siamo in Kenya, e quindi il personale del residence proverà a farvi pagare extra ogni cosa, come ad esempio il cambio degli asgiugamani e la pulizia ogni 2 giorni, che invece sono compresi nel prezzo. Ottima soluzione per una bellissima vacanza."
