KINASI LODGE

Kinasi Lodge is a small, private Hotel situated in a coconut and cashew plantation facing Chole Bay on Mafia Island. It provides a high standard of accommodation in only twelve bungalows (one is a family unit with two bedrooms), each with a large veranda and en-suite bathroom. The bungalows have been constructed in rendered concrete block, with palm-leaf (makuti) roofs, and concrete foundations and floors. There is all-day mains electricity and hot and cold water supply from three permanent wells on the property.

The intention has been to create a resort that is relaxing and stylish, with a very personal feel. Kinasi Lodge is beautifully furnished with antiques and hand-crafted furniture, made to their own designs. The dining room is appointed with crockery and hand-blown glassware made specially for us and there are original works of art by East African artists.

The catering is based upon local seafood: fresh fish, prawns, crab, lobster, octopus and calamari, with fresh vegetables and fruit flown from the mainland. Breads, rolls, pizzas and variety of yoghurts, preserves and sauces are all home made, from traditional recipes. Seafood barbecues and Swahili cuisine are established Kinasi Lodge customs.

Most of all there is tranquillity and privacy in beautiful, natural surroundings, and the friendly staff will do their best to look after you with service to your rooms, morning tea and coffee with fresh biscuits and cakes, sundowners and cocktails, delicious food and attention to any requests you may have.

KINASI started as a private home, and that is how we wish the guests to feel - as if they are in their own home. So enjoy Mafia and this little retreat we have created with all its activities, the swimming pool, gardens and beach, and the relaxed atmosphere and good company.
