Best of Watamu: Sunset Views Pool Creek Access

Kasuku House sits on the edge of Watamu’s stunning Mida Creek, surrounded by tranquil mangroves and alive with birdsong. One of only a few houses on the creek, it offers incredible views of the legendary sunsets. I have travelled and lived all over the world, in many beautiful places, but there is nowhere that I would rather be than sitting on my amazing roof top looking over the mangroves towards Tsavo national park or relaxing by my wonderful pool. I hope you love my home as much as I do!
