One of the original houses in the Diani area, this large and comfortable family holiday home is set in twelve acres of forested tropical gardens. Stunning views over green lawns lead the eye down to a pure white beach and the deep blue waters of the Indian Ocean.

Diani House is perfectly located for your relaxing beach holiday of a lifetime. Your hosts have an excellent knowledge of the area and will be delighted to show you around, or simply ensure that you are able to sit back, relax and do nothing - the choice is yours.

Rooms
There are just four spacious, ensuite bedrooms at Diani House. Each room has its own verandah and enjoys a panoramic view of the gardens, forest, beach and ocean. The rooms are simple with whitewashed walls and large, comfortable Swahili style wooden beds. Simple creature comforts abound.

Meals
Food is a special feature of a Diani House holiday, with the emphasis on seafood. Every morning fishermen deliver fish and shellfish to the kitchen, providing an abundance of marine variety. Excellent local produce is put to good use by the Diani House chef, allowing you to savor new local dishes as well as your own personal favorites; special diets are easily accommodated on request. Meals are usually taken al fresco on the front verandah, although you may choose to eat on your own verandah or to visit one of the several, excellent local restaurants as well.

Activities
Should lazing around in the sunshine not be your style, there is no shortage of activities - try swimming, snorkeling, windsurfing, bird watching, beach walks to the rock pools or visiting the local market. Further afield, visit the historic town of Mombasa or head out for a day of deep-sea fishing on the ocean. Scuba diving, tennis, golf and squash are all easily arranged as well. After all this exercise, why not enjoy a massage or a yoga session to unwind?

Safari
Fancy a safari? Just one hour's drive from Diani, the Shimba Hills National Reserve is a beautiful area of forested hills, home to elephant, buffalo, leopard, giraffe and Kenya's only herds of sable antelope. The distant ocean views and the abundance of bird life, butterflies and plants ensure that there is always something of interest for you to watch as you explore the hills.

Should you wish to stay overnight, Diani House has its own private tented safari camp, Mukurumuji, which borders the Shimba reserve. The four comfortable, double tents have their own bathroom and veranda; each is covered by a palm thatched roof. At Mukurumuji peace and quiet abounds.

The friendly and accommodating staff will do their utmost to make you feel at home, providing you with tasty meals and local information, accompanying you on walks through the forest down to the river and taking you to visit the local African farms in the area. If you are yearning for a sunshine filled, relaxing and interesting beach and bush vacation, with personal care and attention, Diani House is the perfect location for you.
