Siena Cottage is a cosy two-bedroom bungalow with a covered terrace stretching the length of the house and overlooking the swimming pool. It is about 10 minutes' walk to the nearest beach access road and from there guests have access to Turtle Bay Beach and the Watamu Marine Park.
The bedrooms have overhead fans, mosquito nets and en-suite bathrooms. The kitchen opens into a small living area which in turn opens onto the covered terrace with plenty of seating. The property is staffed with a caretaker and a cook can be provided at an extra charge if needed.
There are many activities within in the area. The Arabuko-Sokoke Forest is another unique place to visit near Watamu. It is one of the largest stretches of Brachystegia woodland on the East African Coast and has no less than six endangered species of bird of which three of them are endemic to the forest. The little golden rumped elephant shrew is a giant shrew that has only been identified in a couple of locations in East Africa.
