Super friendly team and eclectic mix of international guests and conservation volunteers to meet eating together at breakfast, lunch and dinner (if needed - they were very relaxed when we ate elsewhere or arrived late). Lots of fascinating chat. Basic rural-style rooms, good WiFi, working fans and a really special atmosphere. Church service option onsite on Sunday morning and lots of activities (they helped us arrange boat ride to snorkel and see dolphins, and we were dropped on the stunning beach outside afterwards). Sea swimming in minutes every morning. Delicious home cooked food - a whole red snapper one evening, and pancakes every morning. Cynthia, Betty and the team were a total delight even when only there for a few nights (some stay for months).

I enjoyed my stay at White nyumba and I have to say it was more than I had expected. The breakfast was exceptional and the staff were always available for anything that I needed. My room was cleaned everyday and fresh flowers were in my room. Saidi the cook has great cooking skills, I bought lobster and he made it to my expectations. Albert made sure the room was clean. Trevor was a great tour guide took me to a great Italian be eatery and the beach. I will definitely go back. The host Jean was very welcoming. You have to take a dip in the relaxing pool!! It was devine! I am coming back for sure.
