Kizingoni House has been built and positioned to take full advantage of the spectacular sunsets and sea views and to catch the sea breezes throughout the year.
The lovely house has four double bedrooms all with bathroom en-suites and private balconies with sea views. The large master bedroom faces west with superb sea views framed by coconut palms, with direct access to the rooftop patios. The spacious bathroom has a Swahili-style bath. The pool has a dining area, baraza and a pool room while the partially shaded wooden deck reaches out onto the beach.
The house is furnished with traditional Swahili furniture, locally crafted items and pieces from around Africa and Asia. The living room opens onto the pool and the kitchen is concealed behind the beautifully carved plaster ?niche' wall and is fully equipped. A laundry room is also available.
The grand entrance steps leads guests onto an elevated terrace and into the high-ceiling living and dining room. The dining table seats 16 people.
Mature coconut palms, doum palms and many indigenous shrubs and trees grow around the house. A small coconut plantation of 40 palms has recently been replanted and in the courtyard garden, jasmine, frangipani, desert rose, date palms and hibiscus are growing. There are fresh herbs outside the kitchen door.
