Watamu Castle Home Kenya is one of Watamu's finest homes. Set in beautifully landscaped gardens it is entered by following 'the yellow brick road' over a humpbacked bridge spanning the water-filled moat (swimming pool). OK so the owners must be a bit crazy but it's a fun place to live in, kids just love it. Built on three floors the castle may be 13th century on the outside but it is very much 21st century inside with a very well equipped modern kitchen, en-suite facilities & satellite television.

The building has extensive verandas and a walk round balcony plus the flag tower which has spectacular 360 degree views of the Indian Ocean and surrounding countryside. The tower is the perfect place to watch the sunset with a cold Tusker or a G & T. At night the view of millions of stars in the heavens is to die for.

The house sleeps up to ten adults & two children and with a child friendly pool and a short four minute stroll, see map for distance, to one of the world's finest beaches Watamu Castle is the ideal base for a family holiday.www.crocodileracers.com
