The owners of Kinondo Kwetu have created an incredibly beautiful place, I could have spent all day just looking at the fabrics, pictures and pieces of art. The main house - where you can take breakfast - opens gracefully onto the gardens, and the guest cottages are gorgeous. Beautiful linens and great little touches, like always adding drinking water without... More

Kinondo Kwetu is heaven. it was the final stop on a four country trip - Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, Kenya -with my adult son. I balked a little at first when I saw the prices, but as it was highly recommended by my fabulous travel agent, I decided to go for it. And thank God I did. This is a beautiful,... More

Didn't quite know what to expect travelling through rural Kenya, astounded to find this artsy, exquisite well spread set of beautiful and spacious villas. The beach and pool are fantastic, food served on different locations including on the water tower high up, was great. Staff very warm and helpful. Were extremely sad to leave Johnny and Penny, the managers of... More

We have just come back from Kinondo Kwetu and we (family of 4 with 2 children aged 8 and 11) highly recommend it. Swedish owned but run by a wonderful British/American couple, this hotel strikes the perfect balance between warmth and luxury. The rooms are beautiful and very comfortable. Each room seems far away from the next. Common areas are... More

An excellant welcome with Finn taking our orange slices, suberb accomadation, excellant location, sand to die for and pools that were just what the doctor ordered. Johnny, Penny and the staff could not be faulted nothing a problem and it was a wrench to leave. Barefoot living and so relaxing. Can't fault it.

We've stayed three nights at Kinondo Kwetu in February, 4 adults and one child (2 years old). This was absolutely perfect: - Service, service, service. Friendly, efficient, extremely professional staff. This is really top class service; - Beautiful location, far from the big resorts of Diani, nice beach, beautiful garden and swimming pool; - Absolutely amazing rooms and lounges, beautiful... More

As you drive into Diani your heart sinks: another coastal strip of hotel after appartment block after hotel, the occasional shopping precinct, gift shops and so on. Then the tarmac road turns into a red top, the town is left behind, there is open country to your right and the occasional building hidden by vegetation to your left. Finally you... More

We are not surprised to read the wonderful comments preceding this 'post' Kinondo is a lovely place; guests are eclectic ie interesting; rooms (at least ours!) are luxurious; beach and gardens superb; food, varied and delicious...it's rare to find such an oasis, and it is managed beautifully by two special people. Sue and I would not hesitate to recommend it...GO!

Me and my boyfriend spent two amazing weeks at Kinondo. We got recommended by friends and it was the luckiest thing ever, I travel all the the time for work and this is easiest one of the top 5 hotels I have ever visited. To keep it simple, this place is nothing but perfect. The staff, the beautiful surroundings, amazing... More
