HUHURU HOUSE, Watamu

Huhuru House is a 4-star bed and breakfast set in a tranquil garden, offering a private saltwater pool exclusively for house guests and a fully equipped kitchen for self-catering. Located less than 1 km from Papa Remo Beach and 18 km from Malindi Airport, the property provides free WiFi in public areas, valet parking, and 24-hour security. The Deluxe Double Room features a private bathroom, air conditioning, a balcony, and garden views, with some rooms designed as outdoor spaces with a roof. A continental breakfast is served daily, including fruits and juice, with the host often preparing it personally; however, lunch and dinner are not offered, though a shared kitchen is available. The property includes a sun terrace, shared lounge/TV area, and outdoor furniture, with wellness services such as massages and yoga classes available on site. Guests can use the saltwater pool all year, complemented by sun loungers and beach chairs, while a personal trainer is also accessible. The house offers a private entrance, key access, and smoke alarms, with daily housekeeping and express check-in/check-out. Transportation options include a paid airport shuttle, airport drop-off and pick-up, and local shuttle service, with a tuktuk or motorbike recommended for the bumpy access road. Huhuru House is a short walk from the beach, and the host, Justin, provides travel planning assistance and local recommendations. The property also provides a generator to manage occasional power cuts, with the groundskeeper Khamis available for guest support.

The garden is magnificent with a lovely pool and plenty of sun beds.

The host, Justin, is super helpful, offering boda boda (local moto taxi) arrangements, beach suggestions, and reservations.

The house is clean, spacious, and designed with great attention to detail, with a comfy bed and warm shower.

Breakfast is beautifully served with an artistic fruit platter and toast, and is described as the best by some guests.

The property has a record player, board games, and no TV, enhancing a slow-travel experience.

The road to reach the property is very bumpy and not well maintained, though tuktuk and motorbikes manage well.

The kitchen lacks some utensils (e.g., frying pan, cooking pots) when both rooms are occupied, and there is no coffee machine.

Local electricity cuts may occur, though the on-site generator provides backup; also, some rooms have windows without covers.
