Featuring air-conditioned accommodation with a private pool, garden view and a patio, Tembo Beach Cottage is located in Malindi. This beachfront property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. Guests can make use of a garden.

Tembo Beach Cottage is a 15 minute drive from the airport, but not really walking distance from central Malindi. The cottage is part of a larger 'resort' with about 8-10 similar cottages around the pool and more short-term stays owned by locals or foreigners nearby. The area is secluded from the public with a manned gate and staff guarding the beach entrance. There larger complex area appears to be for events such as weddings, etc. Checkin was fairly straightforward, showing up at the gate, signing in, and telling the guards my room number and host name. The cottage itself was wonderful, clean, and comfortable. The shower was a little finicky with the hot water but I figured it out. The WiFi was fast and there is an internet TV. Besides the pool, the best part is the front, covered patio area perfect for breakfast or reading! Considered a beachfront property, it take about five minutes to walk through the compound and across the wide, public beach to the water. Get up early for a beautiful sunrise!

    This was a return stay - Janet is always helpful, the cottage is cosy, very comfortable and peaceful. The outside patio area (covered) is very functional and a nice place to cook, eat and relax. James provides security during the night (and cleans the garden every morning) - lovely gentleman. Fabulous place to stay and big land area for our grandson to play and keep busy....
