Holiday rentals in Ksite Island

Mwazaro Beach Lodge is just perfect. Our stay here definitely exceeded our expectations. The facilities are perfectly built and in great harmony with the breathtaking and secluded nature of the place. An unforgettable journey. Will be back!

Just back from a lovely 6 night stay at Pemba Moonlight. It is a great place and Said and his family have put so much effort into the place. The bungalows are comfortable but occasionally the showers are a bit average. To be fair, the water supply to the whole area has been very patchy since the main water pipe burst so all water has to be tankered in. Breakfasts are good and we ate there every evening when we had a home cooked meal provided by Said's wife. On our last day we went on a visit to Tumbe fish market and bought 2 large red snapper fish and Said cooked them perfectly for us. Said was so helpful in organising some trips for us. He personally took us to the spice farm nearby and then on to Wete to see the flying foxes take off into the air at sunset. Definitely a trip to do. Another trip worth doing is the forest walk in the rain forest, the trip to the Fish market, Vimawimbi beach and finally the Seaweed ladies who make seaweed soap in the village very close by the guesthouse. The beach which is about 200m from the guest house has really good snorkelling (you have to swim out quite far to about level with the Manta Underwater hotel room) but when you get there the coral and fish are absolutely superb. There is no regular wifi at Said's but for a one off $5 charge, the nearby Ayiana hotel will put their password into your phone so you can use their's as much as you want. We went there for cocktails and/or beers and sometimes also used their infinity pool and they were super friendly. Sadly the Manta resort does not allow any non-residents to enter its grounds and is positively unfriendly to all locals and tries to stop them going on its beachfront. Such a shame really but what is Manta's loss is Ayiana and Pemba Moonlight's gain. If you want a good value authentic local guesthouse experience then go to Pemba Moonlight.

Incredibly beautiful views and the premises are beautiful and romantic. Very close to the waves of the sea and to nature experiences out of the ordinary. The food in the restaurant is 5/5 there is always fresh fish cooked in the most delicate way. Thank you for taking care of us so well. Forgot to say the staff are incredible good

We had a lovely stay at this BnB. Although we experienced some challenges with transport, as it was quite expensive getting to and from the location, Nick and Aline went out of their way to assist which we appreciated .The house itself was clean, comfortable, and well-kept—everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Nick and Aline were especially attentive and made sure our needs were met. Would recommend, especially if you're looking for a peaceful and well-hosted experience.

Staying at Said’s family-run bnb was total magic! Located right in the north of the island, 3-minutes walk away from the most sublime beach - white sand and turquoise water. The sun sets over the ocean. Said’s bungalows are lovely. Simple and clean, each with an en suite bathroom and an outside terrace with space to lounge. The bungalows are nestled in the deep shade of a beautiful garden that Said and his family have grown. Breakfasts are pancakes, fruit, coffee and tea. Dinners are delicious local meals, always with fish in the mix :) Pemba Moonlight is remote and other than a neighbouring hotel, there aren’t restaurants close by. So expect to eat most of your meals at Moonlight, unless you’re keen to mission. Said and his family are so warm and caring. They put in a lot of effort to care for their guests, and are embedded in their local community, so you can trust that money spent at moonlight stays on the island. Said will help with logistics/activities. 100% recommend!!!

Wasini is such a safe haven and paradise, you absolutely have to spend a few days here if you're in Kenya. Feisal was super responsive and helpful even months ago when I was still undecided. Ismael helped with everything I needed efficiently and the conversations we have always brings me inspirations for my creative work. They are both amazing people I will remember for a very long time. I learnt how to snorkel for the first time here and did my first dives at the marine park. The rich variety of colourful marine life right in front of their jetty is unbelievable. The food portions and exquisite cuisines will keep you super well-fed and nourished throughout your stay. I'm so glad I chose to visit Wasini, and I would spend my life here if I ever had the opportunity to.

As described, ideal for disconnecting and resting. Faisal, speaks French very well, ( and many other languages) he welcomed us to the port and made the crossing with us, then we were welcomed by Ismael who is of incomparable kindness. He took care of us throughout our stay. In addition, the nearby village is really authentic... if you are looking for luxury, it's not for you... for us, it was ideal...

Ally is a number one host. He’s very reactive and tries to help with any of the wishes you have, without pushing you into anything. He arranged some amazing dinner for me and the breakfast was also incredible. He gave me instructions and material to go snorkeling on my own. What a paradise under water! Ally is trying to improve even more, so I suppose the upcoming guests will only get more and more.
