The best positioned house in Malindi- close enough to town to access shops and restaurants etc but far enough away to offer complete peace and tranquility. Nestled on the corner of the marine park beach the house has the most glorious views and direct beach access. Most days we had our end of the beach totally to ourselves. Self catering was the easiest self catering ever! We simply gave the staff a kitty and they bought fresh sea food and market vegetables. We took sailing dhows, walked for miles along the coastline and went on day trip to Watamu, Kilifi and Che Sharlys- we even went to Lamu for a weeked- we were there for 3 months- so plenty of time to explore. But 90% of our time was spent in the gardens at Ritchie House with the views, sound of waves and incredible stars at night.
This is a homely house done in the local swahili and arabic style- it is not posh or luxurious- it fits perfectly with its location- open plan and ideal for a beach house either for a couple or even better with group of friends or family. Perfect in every way!
