Incredible location

The property is literally on the beach, the most incredible location , very quiet and tranquil. Swimming pool, lounger chairs overlooking the beach. You can walk along the beach, there are a few places to have lunch/ drinks within 5-10 mins. The chef is amazing and cooks the most incredible meals for you. Check in very easy and very helpful host. One point to note is the house does not have any windows , so if you are there in rainy season like we were it can get very damp and our clothes and shoes were all covered in mould as they could not air and no cupboards. The verandah is also unusable in the rain as it floods. Note the floor indoors and outdoors is very slippery and not suitable for toddlers, our little one had some very bad falls. Overall the most amazing location but just few points as mentioned to note depending on time of travel!

Beautiful hideaway

We had a lovely time at Maji Lodge. The staff were fantastic and made the whole stay very easy. The food provided was delicious and we enjoyed many meals cooked for us at the villa. The beach setting was stunning and further places to eat and drink were a short walk away. Natalia was very helpful in the lead up, organising the airport transfers and answering the many questions we had. It was a beautiful, quiet and relaxing holiday in a lovely villa and stunning location. Thanks you to all the staff at Maji Lodge.

Paradisiaque

Très belle maison sur plage de sable blanc ! Natalia nous à donné de très bons conseils , très sympathique, elle nous a même organisé notre activité de plongée sous marine... Les personnes qui travaillent à la maison sont très avenantes ,à l'écoute, et aussi d'une très grande gentillesse.... Nous avons très bien mangé et en grande quantité.( Je conseille le barbecue !). Nous nous sommes rendu compte, que le gardien était aussi attentif à notre bien être sur la plage aussi (il est vraiment adorable). Nous avons profité des messages proposés le jour de notre arrivée, ce qui était très très agréable. Beaucoup de choses sont mises à la disposition pour notre confort ( chaussures pour la Mer, crème solaire, eau potable gratuite...). Le cadre est idyllique !!! Beaucoup d'espaces ombragés et très belle terrasse pour se reposer. La température de la piscine est agréable. Merci à tous !

5 days on the beach, with a full service on demand

We had a wonderful stay at the Maji Lodge. The location of the house is fantastic and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Overall, the house is well kept and offered all amenities we needed. Some parts of the house, like the sun deck or the kitchen, would deserve some renovations, though. Our entire family has greatly enjoyed the stay and we think the quality/price ratio is still very good.
