I spent a week in kenyaways. It was a amazing experience. The staff was extremely friendly and great. They made my stay so worthwhile that I can't wait to go back. The place is very well kept very clean. I can't complain about anything. Anything that I needed they made possible. They helped me book day trips. And trip was... More

Myself and a friend only had three nights on the coast. I didn't fancy staying in a big hotel or anywhere that had 'vollyball at 2pm' and could offer conference facilities. This B & B had friendly staff, a laid back atmosphere and they were able to assist with booking trips. We had a big difference in a quote from... More

Stayed twice with friends visiting Kenya. The location is towards the South of South Coast (Diani), this means the beach is a lot more peaceful, clean, extensive (with finer sand) than several kilometers up by the Nakumatt (main turning point to Diani where other hotels are located). Breakfast is very good, the rooms are simple but comfortable, and the common... More

I stayed here over a weekend with my husband and mom. We arrived in the late evening and when we were taken to our rooms, we had no running water. When we informed the staff, he said he would find out why and never came back. We then went to bed and sometime in the early morning, someone knocked on... More

Dear Susan, I am writing because I did not get a chance to talk to you over the weekend and I have been meaning to email you. I wanted to apologize for your unlucky stay, we were caught completely unaware with the water situation. FIrst of all it was a problem from the electrical side as the Kenya Power Service... More

I spent 2 weeks at Kenyaways with my non-kiting partner and had a ball. The kiting conditions were perfect for my level of (in)competence as well as the guys and girls who could really rip it. The accommodation was very comfortable and well designed. For the 1st part of our holiday we stayed in a room overlooking the pool area... More

I am torn between spreading the word about this absolute gem of a place and keeping it as secret as possible as this is part of its success. The kitesurf conditions were near perfect due to constant wind, warm sea, an empty beach and a cracking kitesurf school. Living in the hotel felt like being welcomed in a family home... More

I just returned from 8 days at Kenyaways and would love to jump on a plane and go back. The B and B is cute, cosy, laid back with a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. It's positioned right on the beach away from Diani's big impersonal resorts but close enough to explore different spots for dinner at night. Kitesurfing there is... More

We have just returned from a week at Kenyaways with our two sons age 20 and 22 who enrolled in the beginner's kite surfing-course. We absolutely loved it. Kenyaways is on the most stunning huge beach which is never crowded and lovely for walking and dipping into the sea. The guesthouse itself is beautifully decorated in local style and has... More
