Villas Dora and Holly

We travelled on the night train to Mombasa and so got to South Coast early morning but Eunice, the manager , was kind enough to meet us at the property having prepared us a cup of tea, that was a pleasant and very welcome surprise. We were at Villa Dora which was spacious enough to comfortably host all eight of us. The staff were friendly, ensured we were comfortable and did a good job of keeping the house and grounds clean. The property also has a nice good sized swimming pool, which the kids and we enjoyed, and is also a nice little walk away from the beach. Eunice also recommended to us a great chef who made very nice meals for us. I must also say thank you to the owner, despite there being a miscalculation by booking.com meaning that we were to be charged a higher rate, he was kind enough to maintain the initial rate- so we were already off to a good start. Even from a distance, there was a personal touch as he reached out to check if we were comfortable- which was nice.

Other than a few improvement areas, for the upper floor and check in, already communicated to the owner…..nothing!

The location is perfect even though not a beach-front. It is quiet and safe with a nice parking. Accessing the property requires a little bit more effort because it is off the main road requiring using a small acccess-earth-road.

Had trouble with electricity fault on the 2nd day but was rectified. The water heaters are hard to use not working predictably.
