Quite a distance to the beach

Quiet and serene environment

Stayed in August 2024

1. The Location, it is remote; (which makes up for the serenity) but very far from Ukunda and therefore, most amenities if not driving. It was also hard to locate as GPS kept rerouting. 2. It's not really family oriented as there was no kids focused entertainment. It's a straight up accomodation only so you have to go outside to source how to entertain your kid (s). 3. No fresh drinking water in the rooms. There is a kettle so I boiled tap water but noticed it had so much seasand residue collecting in the bottom of a glass and therefore, a health hazard. 4. Hot water takes a good 20 minutes odd wait to get hot. Which is a waste of time and water as you had to leave it running as you wait therefore, have to wake up earlier too. 5. This is a personal preferance not a must, but would have preferred to have a microwave instead of a kettle in the rooms. As dinner is not included, if you have leftovers, there is no way to warm it as there is no cooker either which means you have to spend more money to buy hot food even though you may still have enough from last night's. 6. Very minor but unprofessional regardless, staff loudly talking about guests, which as a Kenyan I took offence to as I could understand the local dialect.

1. It's very serene and quiet so the night kip was silent and peaceful. It is also breathtaking and gives amazing holiday pictures. 2. The rooms are nicely traditionally decorated. Large and clean. 3. The swimming pool was clean, well lit and with a camera monitoring for safeguarding. There are also cctvs cameras concealed in places, which at first can be annoying if not aware you're being recorded but made us feel safe. 4. When out, you get back to a cleaned room and fresh linen. 5. Breakfast was my daughter's and I favourite. Fresh fruits and pressed juice. Assorted breakfast throughout and good portions. 6. Noel was always available to assist with queries, directions of how to access the beach and locality etc. 7. Flexibility in checking in and out. 8. Close proximity to the beach with one being able to walk there or hire a tuktuk (taxi) at an affordable price. 9. Arranged tours to a Wasinii Island, with a door point pickup and drop off.

The host was really helpful and kind, he described in detail the neighbourhood during our welcome talk. The breakfast was served every morning and it was very delicious (lots of fresh fruits, fresh juice). A very beautiful and peaceful garden. If you are looking for a peaceful and quiet place for rest this is the perfect location for both couples and families.

Everything was beyond expectation

The host was very good to us and the swimming pool was very relaxing.

Private and relaxed

The road to Sheba Cottages is unpaved and in poor condition. As a result it was not always easy to find transport to head back to the cottages after dark. Sheba cottages is not close to the center of Diani beach. Depending on what you are looking for this can be a pro or a con. We appreciated the peace and quiet after coming from Nairobi and Mombasa.

Sheba cottages is a little off the beaten path, but it offers a beautiful paradise to relax for a few days. The host is very welcoming and showed us how to walk down to the beach and the best beach bars/restaurants to pass our time. Breakfast is included but since we were up early every morning for a tour, they delivered it the night before. We only stayed for 2 days, but could have definitely spent more time here.

A little bit of noise at night, but the accommodation is in nature. Otherwise, no really shortcomings

Very good location Very friendly Noel Good breakfast and dinner

Stayed in June 2024

It would be great if the host can increase the breakfast time to 2 hours from the current 1 hour

Serene and quiet atmosphere, very nice design of the cottages - traditional Swahili house theme and nice landscaping. The swimming is very clean.

Very kind and helpful host. He took us to Diani centre with no charge. Tasty breakfasts, clean houses, beautiful surroundings and clean pool. Peaceful area a little bit away from any other hotels which is a great thing if you like when it is quiet.

We new there wasn't AC in the unit, but the nights are definitely very hot and it can get stuffy/humid with just fans.

Very spacious room, clean and with a beautiful pool area. The rooms were very clean, the host was very attentive and the breakfast super delicious. They even accomodated for early breakfasts before our dives. It is a short walk to the beach or you can take a cheap tuktuk back and forth. There were moscito nets for all the beds. Absolutely loved our stay.

Nothing was a miss.

The facility is located in away from the main centre therefore a good place for those yearning for relaxation away from noise.

The host was always available to assist on anything and hands on. The location was interior though for the kind of privacy you get I would not complain. The facility was serene and also quite refreshing I am definitely going back there.

The food was home cooked and very delicious. Garden and pool are stuning. Cottage is big and comfy, with refrigirator. Location is peacefull and not so far from the beach. The staff was very helpfull.

Stayed in February 2024

Paradise like garden, very welcoming host (does everything that you would feel good), cozy and clean cottages. The location away from main tourist area is a bonus, as here there is less those who want to sell things. Easy to get to the shore and cafes with tuktuk or boda in 10-15 minutes. Super place!

Great owner and staff. Fantastic breakfast.

Way off the main road.

The host Noel and his team were excellent. Quite a private set up and the restuarant facility was very convenient.

Stayed in December 2023

The fact that it was far from the main road

I loved that it was in a quite area, very close to the beach too. Noël is a very good host. I would definitely come back again.

Stayed in September 2023

Nothing. All was fine!

Every morning a fresh breakfast was made, consisting of coffee/tea, a fruit shake, eggs (different styles), something sweet, and fresh fruit. The garden is really one of the most (and well maintained) gardens ever seen and the swimming pool is refreshing. The WiFi is great, perfect spot to work remotely. The walk from the apartment to the beach is 15 min. On my way I spoke to many locals and kids; I felt completely safe. There are many options for a drink, lunch or diner on walking distance. In the evening you can take a boda/tuk tuk back to the cottages. I will definitely come back. Thanks Noel and staff for the lovely time!
