The scenery is beautiful and the ventilation is very good. On the way here is a long tree-lined path, which is very beautiful. The natural scenery in the park is good, and there are many monkeys. It is very pleasant and suitable for relaxation.

Nous avons passé 3 jours dans cet incroyable endroit...et c'était beaucoup trop court. Nous en partons juste et l'endroit ainsi que son personnel nous manquent déjà. Les lieux sont paisibles, d'une beauté incroyable, même mieux que ce qu'on s'était imaginé sur les photos. Les extérieurs sont très bien entretenus, l'accès à la plage est juste au bout du jardin. Mais le mieux du mieux, ce que nous n'oublierons jamais c'est la gentillesse du personnel, toujours présent. Gilbert, le manager est aux petits soins. Tout ce dont vous avez besoin, il le fait. C'est une adorable personne avec qui nous avons beaucoup apprecié discuter. Humphrey, le chef, est incroyable. Il nous a cuisiné des repas à base de poissons et fruits de mer (achetés aux pêcheurs locaux) dignes d'un grand chef. Les saveurs étaient exceptionnelles. Nous nous sommes régalés. Merci pour tout ! Nous espérons pouvoir y retourner un jour !

Great stay with an amazing host Gilbert, made everything easy during our stay not to forget the chef. The environment, house and private beach were peaceful however update on the 2 lower bedrooms with a shared toilet not up to standard.

風景很好，工作人員很負責，床大，正對海邊，晚上也不熱！推薦大家來體驗！ 海邊在退潮時可以去趕海，撿貝殼。

The manager Gilbert is excellent. So is the cook Humphrey. The staff will do anything and everything to make your stay comfortable and memorable. The architecture/ furniture is not the best in class, but good for the price. And as it is the coast, expect mosquitoes in the evening, so make sure you're sleeping inside the mosquito nets properly.

Our stay at Swahili House in Tiwi was nothing short of magical! The place itself is peaceful, authentic, and beautifully set up for anyone looking to relax and unwind by the coast. But what made the experience truly unforgettable was Gilbert – the heart and soul of Swahili House! He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, well taken care of, and always smiling. His warmth, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality made us feel like family. And let’s not forget the amazing chef! Every meal was a treat – from fresh food to local Swahili dishes, everything was cooked to perfection. We honestly looked forward to every mealtime! If you're ever in Tiwi and looking for a quiet, homely, and well-managed stay with incredible service, I can’t recommend Swahili House enough. We’ll definitely be back!
