This beautiful Swahili architectural house is surrounded by numerous large Neem, Palm, and Fig trees and situated on a coral outcrop catching the ocean breeze. Breathtaking sunset and sunrise views can be enjoyed on the property or from the roof terrace and you are only 350m from the beach.

Neem House sleeps a maximum of 12 people, perfect accommodation for family groups on holiday. There are four bedrooms, three are en suite. The master bedroom has a queen bed and the other two rooms have huge traditional Pili Pili beds. The Pilis can be separated into 4 singles. There are 7 singles beds in total(4 in the Lamu room which are not suitable for small children and 3 in the annexe/small lounge off the master bedroom). All rooms have overhead ceiling fans and large walk in mosquito nets. The main bedroom has a large veranda with private seating area and three single beds- ideal for families with small children.

All rooms are large, spacious and feature Arabesque archways and antique carved doors from Lamu. Large exterior windows are enclosed with ornate wrought iron and interior ‘windows’ are fitted with cane blinds or teak shutters, this creates a very open and cool living space. Ceilings, supported by traditional ‘Boriti’ poles are in excess of three meters. Floors are tiled with cool Galana stone, sourced from the Galana River, north of Malindi. All of the furniture is teak, designed for comfort on the coast. The 3.6m dining table comfortably seats twelve.

There is a beautiful pool at Neem House. Built in the classic Arabic style, it is in excess of two meters deep and is situated in a private courtyard. There is an outdoor shower adjacent to the pool and a large sunroom with day beds and a hammock.

The house has an experienced cook who produces classic Swahili dishes, refreshing salads and freshly baked bread. He sources only the freshest ingredients from the market and works closely with local fisherman, who come to the door most mornings with a selection of fresh seafood, weather permitting.
