Distant Relatives Ecolodge & Backpackers
Seahorse Road, 80108 Kilifi, Kenya – Great location - show map
It’s located on Kilifi creek with beach access. The staffs were friendly and helpful.

it’s an amazing ecolodge. I love all the efforts they put into preserving the environment. I loved the activities proposed as well as the facilities.

I loved how friendly the staff was. When I arrived I was given a tour of the place, which was quite thoughtful. For introverts and readers, the place has numerous spots to sit and read a book. Also really loved the food.

Very good food and drinks from the lodge restaurant. Close to the beach

It’s very cool. Resort like. But hostel. Have private dwellings and dormitory. Tropical Feel. Really neat.

The location, the staff was super friendly and helpful (it's not their fault they don't have sheets), the ambiance of the place, the new menu is delicious!

It’s a very nice place with so many chilling spots to be, swimming pool is great and the staff is so friendly willing to help you with everything Creek is very close like 5 min walk and they always have piki piki waiting in case you want to go to town

Everything..the staff,the people there ,food and location

The vibe was incredible. The kitchen is clean and ready to use. There is a creek (bay) near by for swimming with bioluminescence if you’re here when there is little moon. There are also monkeys in the trees and a gorgeous baobab tree.

It is a backpackers but we opted for a private room which was great. Remember it is an eco Lodge so rooms do not have glass windows. The private outside shower is great and the upgraded room we had has its own composting toilets. The evening is fun as guests lounge around and great music playing at the bar. I would also suggest taken the 10min walk down to beach to see the bioluminescent plankton.
