The Kaya Waa house is really a series of houses, settled on 20 acres,
which sleep up to ten people. There are two guesthouses whose walls are
made from local coral rag and lime with traditional Swahili-style palm
frond thatch roofs (called makuti). The main house has a master bedroom
with bath, another bedroom with two twin beds and a bath as well as a
Zanzibari-style bed in the living room that can also be used for a day
bed.
The living area is airy and comfortable with the personal style of
a sophisticated home; it has big sofas, club chairs, CD/cassette player,
paintings and antiques. On one side of the living room is a series of
louvered doors that open to extend the living room onto the veranda.
The veranda runs the length of the house and it is where meals are
served on a long wooden table. The verandas on both houses face east
creating a spectacular view for sunrise in the morning and big pink
clouds at sunset.
The second house is close enough to feel near, but distant enough to be
private. It contains a master bedroom and shares a bath with another
bedroom that has three twin beds.
STAFF
A house host (a European or American National who speaks Kiswahili) is
always at the house to ensure that it runs smoothly, to answer questions
and to provide information about the area. There are also five staff
members at the house. They are full-time cook, full-time gardener,
full-time housekeeper, a night watchman, and a day watchman (as is
traditional for homes in East Africa). The staff will clean laundry,
prepare and serve meals, and clean house.
