Already on arrival we have the warmth and impeccable service of the hotel can enjoy. Because of the just 6 houses this hotel purely nothing at all with neighbouring bed centers together. From the rooms, on the interior to the garden area is all great-well-kept and with much attention to detail decorated. The entire area works in comparison to neighbouring resorts such as a 'peaceful oasis and relaxation' read more

    Here we would dearest 1000 stars. We operate generally exclusively in 4 or 5 star hotels and are great service stayed. But what was offered here, is unique. Never before have i in a hotel even remotely so good and lovingly cared for as the Diani cottages. You have the feeling, all the only the wellbeing of the guest concerns and every wish was anticipated service. There was nothing, which was not possible or made possible. My husband and i had tears in their eyes, when we returned home we had to! Lots of warm thanks again to the entire team!

    The beach is in 3 minutes by a private path and is in a very tidy state. You can very long beach walks without that one is disturbed. Otherwise is the beach bar very recommendable however at the weekend unfortunately very busy! The beach boys are but far less intrusive, as i had imagined. The pool is in comparison the small number of guests big enough and really clean. We were always alone in it.

We arrived yesterday from our dream vacation in Kenya returned. It was the best holiday ever, although we at the start had doubts, that Kenya the high demands would, since we already beautiful places in the south africa saw. After our 3-day safari (for tsavo west and amboseli, very recommendable, open jeeps, a maximum of 5 persons, expert guide, the also to my many questions about land & people always a response ready \u263a and simply only fantastic lodges-we were in the Severin safari camp in the ol tukai lodge), we have, thanks to the love staff so comfortable, so ..., if we 'home' return. In general, you can the atmosphere in the cottages not with a hotel compare. Everything is very private and you have the possibility, much about the life in Kenya from Gilbert and Samir to learn. In the morning a the breakfast right on the terrace brought. There are tea/coffee, fresh orange juice, eggs, jam, honey and rolls, the like in Germany taste. Also the dinner is very good. There is everyday something other (from spaghetti carbonara to fleischspießen and pizza). The food one gets in a lounge from and eat again on the private terrace. It is in the detail and one notices the german management. So in every cottage a cell phone, which for cheap phone calls to Germany and within kenyas can be used. Gilbert made equal after the trip there a prepaid card bought. Also, you can for 10 Euro wi-fi access. Which is great, is that you at night can move freely and feel very safe (it gives everywhere secuirty and at night also no beachboy more at the beach are, so that you at night as well great in the thirty thives bar-but on the crabs watch out at the walk \u263a. Within the cottages are the safety standards simply brilliant! We had our camera outside beach chairs and she was the next morning still there. To the beach via private access (about 2 minutes to walk). The beach is mostly deserted. But you have to here on the beachboys set. If one didn't show any interest, let a but then after a while in peace. Exactly opposite the cottages there is a 'shopping center' with a supermarket, a bank, restaurants, bars and souvenir shops. Really recommendable is a visit to the Ali barbour cave restaurants, where we (in the cottage ' bathroom ' \u263a ) engagement party. Here you can romantic in a grotto food. You can on d-m tours 100% leaving. We were always on time and Denis moser is very helpful with questions/problems. All in all a successful holiday. We will certainly return again and Diani cottages absolutely recommend. read more

Have just returned from our 18-day Kenya holiday in Diani Cottages and have to say that it was one of the most beautiful vacations we have ever had! In Kenya even worked out of the pick-up in Nairobi to shuttle bus the plane back. We are not average tourists and love the individual and especially the proximity to the locals. Who similarly thinks, for the Diani-Cottages exactly the right thing! Denis, Gilbert. Mery and Salim are a operating together team and organize everything. Denis is a very nice man the like recommendations or suggestions on request also everything individually and ... perfectly organized The food:, wether breakfast ( prepared with a lot of care) or dinner, was every time simply delicious! For the daily cleaning of the pool, of the estate, the laundry and of the hotel has Denis well catered for, apart from that we have by the pool the magnificent tranquility enjoyed. The shopping center with supermarket, bank, shops and restaurants is in immediate proximity The houses was this year renovated, everything new painted and the furnishing has been renewed, the real salvation hasteth is however the new glass shower stall super plush a great idea! The 6-day private safari was excellent organized and a very good price ( Cottages and safari -special Tariff). Also we are very thankful for this. In the Indian ocean with the wonderful, often deserted beach we found very nice. The sunsets are wonderful and the best of the comfortable beach bar ( Fourty Thievs ) with a glass of wine-) For us wonderful was the access to the Kenyans! Gilbert and Salim showed us different villages and schools and told of the living conditions of the people. From the friendliness and warmth us a foreign opposite we were very impressed. Especially liked it the children. In summary we can say, that we our vacation very enjoyed and all individual traveler would recommend. We are thankful on this way again thank most warmly Denis and rosy and cottages-team Gilbert, Mary and Salim. We are definitely coming again! read more

The diani cottages on the south coast of Kenya are brilliantly located. There are 6 small house and in the middle there is a large swimming pool. The way to the beach is not far from the complex and good to reach on foot. I booked the half board and the food from the restaurant brought. All days I the food super good. The staff las me each desire from the eyes. With discretion and friendliness the team I felt approximately over well. Mr Moser came every day and looked, whether his guests went well. The rooms are big and ... spacious with a fan and mosquito net equipped. Although, there was not any Mosquitoes. A fridge made for cold drinks. If you want, can also be cooked self service. There is a gas stove available. Sometimes visit the monkeys and see, if you something to eat to find. As my bananas and my bread stolen. I would again at any time my beach vacation in the diani cottages spend. Opposite are numerous possibilities for shopping and a restaurant, so that I always well supplied was. read more

    the staff in diani cottage was really great. Always funny, friendly. There was no problems. The cleaning of the rooms you could at any time order, if it necessary was. Laundry was on request at any time and private laundry service for little money wash leave. Mr Denis Moser came daily twice and controlled the complex and question, if everything reasonable is. Internet and telephone from Safaricom were immediately and the cell phone worked, the charging immediately. Telephone calls having regard to Germany stayed for a few cents possible.

    We stayed at this vacation the first time no hotel and agree, that much better Choice was, to relax. We had day and night our privacy in our small, very clean bungalow and a large comfortable terrace with a large fluffy sofa, couch and sitting area. Breakfast and dinner were always very good. We stayed in the three weeks nice 'neighbors' met and all guests the houses were very reasonable and not disturbing. Mostly German guests, but the vacation days were also guests for Nairobi there.

    The beach was about 200 meters away by means of a privatweg. On request we could from an awning nice employees (thanks to Gilbert and Salim) to build up, in case one in the morning already to the beach wanted to go. From 15 hours were always shade. At low tide in the morning it made much sense. You had to cooling always the beautiful pool in front of the door eigenern. Purchase center was directly over the street behind the complex. Supermarket, bank, etc. and an Italian restaurant with super delicious ice and pizza and a very nice evening restaurant for all nationalities. A disco was 1 kilometer away (taxi 300 ksh). Opportunities for excursions over $tours-or with a very good and remis reasonably priced.

the diani cottages are about 16 months since, the bungalows and the furnishing this, are still in the conservation status as on the first day. Here is just, the owners and the quality building materials for use in the woods for those high-quality finishes, quality of just the DM-tours (Denis Moser) is not used. The plants on the area were already well at the beginning, after 16 months now it is simply a dream to wake up in the morning, ten steps up to the large pool, the morning swim, when one came back the breakfast on the terrace, around ... everything green, the birds chirping. The staff anticipated every whim of the tourists eyes, there are still the same people as the opening, the private pay as one of the few good pay for African standards and especially on a regular basis. The bungalows are equipped with all ausgesttet you need, be it as self provider or with half-board or bed and breakfast. Refrigerator, gas cooker, kettle toaster. Emergency channels on the bed, telephone of Safaricom available, the bathroom was very spacious, the huge shower, I have seen in any hotel along the coast. The pool is for this small area with two bedrooms and two bungalwos four bungalwos a bedroom with huge, the water is crystal clear, no chlorine. The beach is about 300 meters away, a small way, the beach boys are, it is a opened the area is absolutely no peace, I have helped me in which I about hundred meters to the left at the beach ran, as the beach of diani sea resort, for a small obolus of the beach boys, it is no problem to add your own. Opposite the area is a purchase centre, with a bank and a pub where you can eat. You are in the heart of diani beach to the disco to Nakkumatt Shakatak or by taxi ksh 300 or the Matatu ksh 30, necessarily suitable. For the cell phone to get a map of safari COM, costs at the airport hundred ksh, saves 80-90% of the telephone costs to Germany. For those laptop for 3000 ksh book a flat, better Speed than at home with 6000 DSL. In connection with a safari on DM tours-get your for your stay at an unbeatable price. Another tip, if you do not want to do without German sausage in Kenya, easy prey with content and a plastic thermal pack in a towel compresses, this middle place the bags, was still cold during unpacking. read more

The diani cottages are definitely recommendable: beautiful new area, beautiful, clean pool, beautiful garden. The rooms and kitchen are well equipped and large. A special delicacy the cottage my cell phone and the rentable Surf-Stick. had the cottage to wall/ street now, the traffic didn't bother us (you can hear hardly), since one is anyway because of the monkeys (one goes to East Africa because of the nature!) is awake. in the area you had really peace and however is centrally located to all: small supermarket on the other Roadside, for 20 ksh with the Matatu in 5 minutes to ... the next bigger. The beach is only about 3 to 4 minutes on foot to reach. I'll be back! regards, Peter read more

We were 14 days in the cottages and had nothing to complain about. An especially positive impression and the friendliness of the staff we had the half board option and were really very satisfied with the food. In the morning, breakfast is served on the terrace and the dinner was also always very delicious and varied. If you are not in a large hotel plant would like to, but nice contact with employees and privacy loves is here exactly correct. Many greetings to Dennis and his great team (Salim, Gilbert, Mary) the flight Safari on DM tours in the Masai ... Mara-Oloshaiki camp also highly recommendable. read more

We were very disappointed with the diani cottages. They are very well equipped, but are located directly on the main road. From early morning to five hours honking buses lawn, Safari cars and taxis with a high speed past. As also helps the wall has not led. The way to the beach is dirty and you feel the way not sure. We had no privacy, because the houses are close to each other and the boss of the resort the whole time yelling at the staff. As we have said because of the noise, we were told by Mr meter ... rude, that we can take off, if we didn't like it. The street noise and the call is not a pleasure on holiday. read more

the complex was opened in May. We were the first guests in our House. Everything was very clean and decently furnished. We were pleasantly surprised. The staff made an effort is however overwhelmed with so many things. However, we must not forget, we were the first to say for the sake of fairness. the complex itself is not direct at the beach. There are approximately 250 meters to this. you can a defined area at the beach use, but looks but on a wall and not on the beautiful Indian ocean. Beach chairs-none! Without the locked area it is however ... not, as you otherwise the incredible strenuous and is at the mercy of obtrusive beach boys. the complex itself, is right behind one main street. Because of the constant noise from a motor driving by buses, Truck and cars for me was the stay not tolerable, and so we changed the hotel which was no problem. We were assured, the a noise barrier it is planned. But why this was not the first built? D. M. tours of the safaris can I absolutely recommend. Very professional. A safari in the Masai Mara undertake. Is hard to beat. read more
