Kusi - South East Monsoon (May - August) This brings a strong gusting wind and rain showers. These are essentially our coolest months. These are not fishing or snorkelling months as the sea is rough. Perfect for chilling out and walking along empty beaches.

Matilai - is a transitional period  with light easterly winds and calm weather. Mutalai can vary from end of October through to December and again from the end of February to April. The best sailfish fishing season is in November and the marlin in February/March. 

Our hottest months are November, February and March.

Kaskazi - North East Trade Winds (December - Feb). Hot sunny Days but typically calm mornings and windy afternoons. The temperatures are kept reasonably cool due to this wind.

There are sixteen cottages with a choice of double or twin beds, surrounded by large flowing mosquito nets and cooled by overhead fans inside the nets. Eleven of these rooms are on the beachfront, and five are behind and above the first five beachfront rooms.

How to get here
