Oh! Oh! Oh! I had three of my best days these year at the castle, someone here said it’s is really a castle and I can attest to that. Such a quiet, calm and CLEAN place. I absolutely loved and enjoyed my stay here. To the owner, thank you so much for being extremely nice and helpful to me.

i arrived late, and got a call from the owner who was checking on me, if I got the place right. I was a little lost so she gave me direction.I thought was very kind of her. I got a warm welcome from the Maasai guard who was super friendly and welcoming, I felt at home. the place was clean and comfortable. beautiful surroundings across the road is the beach 5 min walking distance. a lot of places to chill in the compound, an excellent swimming pool, top of the castle you get a view of the ocean and sunset which was a plus. I made friends with the residential tortoises who were very friendly and I shared my fruits with. i would come back again in the future.
