The cottages were spacious and well appointed. The pool was lovely as were the grounds. The breakfast was tasty and the staff were excellent. There was a grocery store and nice restaurant (Havana) across the street. The owner helped me to book an excellent driver for pick up at train station.

With top maintained quality equipment beautiful, large swimming pool (8 x 15 m), lush tropical gardens within a gated community, German speaking Management and trained personnel. The resort consists of 6 cottages surrounding a swimming pool. Four of the cottages are 1- bed roomed for 2 people (suitable for couples) and two are 2-bed roomed for 4 people (suitable for families and larger groups). The house screams designer, very private and will reflect the personality and taste of those accustomed to the best in quality design, finishes and lifestyle. The well-kept private compound invites guests to chill by the pool, relax in the afternoon on your terrace or the white sandy beach of Diani Beach, which is easily accessible in 2 minutes.
In 1997 Denis Moser opened a Safari business with only an Unimog. The first guest Safari was an entrepreneur from the car industry. The ride went to Tsavo West and Amboseli. Then the first group followed by 11 Americans Denis escorted. They drove to Tsavo East and Denis lost on this tour his shoes. From then on he had to spend the entire Safari without shoes. This found the Americans as "cool" so you equal all eleven drove without shoes. Six months later, when the Americans were already back home, Denis got a packet sent with brand new shoes that he still wears today. Later Denis bought cars, Land Cruiser, and expanded its territories and routes from. Today D.M. Tours & Safaris has 16 brand-new Land Cruiser, all with a convertible roof and space for 5 Safari guests. Now the company with more than 4,000 guests traveling 1.3 million kilometers a year. By the way, the very first customer is still every year with Denis on safari. In 2010 he built Diani Cottages. These were built so that guests can relax and enjoy their beach holiday in a pleasant resort after the safari. There are now 32 employees committed daily to the benefit of all customers and guests.
