About this property

Private Beachfront Home w/ Own Pool and Jetty, Stunning Sea Views & Private Bay

Come and enjoy our beautiful home, "Chongalulu" at Mtwapa Creek, Mombasa. The views over the creek are idyllic, and the beach below the house is white sand, and the Indian Ocean is warm and clear. The pool is warm all year round and you can watch the sun go down from our private jetty. It really is our corner of paradise. The garden is lush and tropical, abundant with palms, bougainvillea, and monkeys! It is an ideal location for a big family gathering or for 2 families to share. The staff comprising of a cook, houseman and gardener will look after you royally. Each bedroom is comfortably furnished and has a fan, and mosquito net. All bedrooms face the sea. It is restful and calming and is a wonderful holiday location. It is possible to do most watersports and other fun activities nearby. There are several shops, restaurants, ATMs, a chemist etc and a golf course close by.

Schön mit Abstrichen
Wir haben uns wie in einem Agatha Christie Film gefühlt. Das Anwesen war weitläufig, geräumig mit vielen Sitzgelegenheiten, tollen Bädern und idyllisch einsam am Creek gelegen. Der Pool war cool. Die 3 Angestellten waren stets freundlich + hilfsbereit. So kam eine neue Tischtennisplatte + ein nicht erwähntes Kajak zum Vorschein und Einsatz. Leider gibt es auch ein paar Beanstandungen: Die Anreise war ein Abenteuer. Einsam gelegen bedeutet weit ab von der Verkehrsanbindung. Ohne eigenes Auto, oder Kontakte zu den hiesigen Taxi-, Motorrad-, Tuk-Tuk-fahrern, kommt man dort auch nicht wieder weg. Und denen muss man aber erstmal den Weg zeigen, weil das Haus völlig unbekannt ist + abseits liegt. Die Wäsche wird nicht wie versprochen bei 60 Grad gewaschen, es handelt sich nur um Handwäsche! Die versprochene Münzwaschmaschine existierte nicht. Bettwäsche + Handtücher waren Mangelware und wurden nur auf Nachfrage getauscht. Eine vom Vorgänger vollgepisste Matratze wurde nicht ausgetauscht und einfach sonnengetrocknet wieder aufgelegt. Der Geruch war ekelhaft! Nach der Beanstandung wurde nur gegen eine noch freie Matratze ausgetauscht. Kein Fön vorhanden. Der angegebene Privatstrand war öffentlich + Wasserschuhe wegen spitzen Steinen sind übrigens empfehlenswert. Der Koch sorgt für die Verpflegung, wenn man alles einkauft. Selbst kommt man eher nicht in die Küche. Immer genau sagen, wie die Zimmer gereinigt werden sollen. Empfehlung: Moskitonetze vor den Fenstern wären wünschenswert.

About the host

Hosted by Ann Sutcliffe

Host profile image
My name is Ann Sutcliffe and I live in Kenya. My family moved to Kenya from England when I was a young girl and I have lived here ever since.
I married the son of an early settler, whose parents came to Kenya in the early part of the 20th century and planted a coffee farm on the outskirts of Nairobi. We have 3 children, who were all brought up in Kenya, and 7 grandchildren.

Why they chose this property

My family purchased six acres of land, just north of the island of Mombasa, 50 years ago when it was virgin forest, and there were still buffalo on the beach. They built this family holiday house on the south shore of Mtwapa Creek.
The views are stunning, and, being situated on a creek, you can look out across the creek or out to sea, affording great privacy. The sandy beach is right in front of the house and is perfect to enjoy the warm Indian Ocean.
The house has been extensively modernised over the years and it has been a wonderful holiday home for all of us. It is beautiful, relaxing and peaceful and, like us, I am sure you will never want to leave.

What makes this property unique

The house is conveniently situated for amenities including: restaurants, shops, chemist and ATM. It is a 45 minute easy taxi drive from Mombasa International Airport. There are endless watersports available closeby including deep sea fishing, diving, kite surfing, boat and dhow trips, fabulous snorkelling, etc. Also water slides, go-karting, crocodile park, nature trail, a Serena Spa and a wonderful local authentic floating restaurant. Visits to Mombasa to view the historical old buildings and fort are to be recommended.
The beautiful sandy beach is situated in front of the house with easy access.
There is a houseman, cook and gardener who have been a long time at the property and are delightful and helpful.
The house has a comprehensive pack of local information.
