About

Relaxed tree houses & cabins with mosquito nets, plus a pub serving breakfast, lunch & dinner.

Come for the nightly bush baby feeding at 7pm — it's ethical, well-organized, and genuinely magical — then stay for the mishkaki, which is good enough to order twice. The tree houses sit deep in a coastal forest canopy in Diani, surrounded by birdsong and monkeys, with the beach a five-minute walk away. One of the few spots on the coast where you'll pay fair, local prices instead of the usual tourist markup.

    Back from the safari, this was our first day enjoying the beach. We arrived at the hostel very late, but they were waiting for us. The place is cute, with a big raised platform hosting the bar and restaurant. We stayed in the tree house. The room was very basic, with mosquito nets over the beds, but not on the windows. The stairs to reach the room were a real hazard. They are metal, narrow and uneven, and the shared bathroom was quite far from the room, which made it a bit uncomfortable, especially at night. The staff were nice. We met Ali, who volunteers there and was extremely helpful. They showed us how to get to the beach, and we were also able to use the sun beds and pool of a nearby resort, which was a great bonus. The beach is about five minutes walking and very easy to reach. Overall fair for the price and great if you are looking for a hostel style, social place.

    We visited for a dinner as we heard that unusual creatures (bushbabies) visit at 19:00 and that we could feed them. Amazing experience, good food 👌👌

    I visited Stilts Tree Houses for dinner and the bush babies feeding experience, and it was absolutely wonderful. The feeding was well organized, done according to clear rules, and with great respect for the animals, which I really appreciated. It felt ethical, calm, and truly special. We also had dinner there, and the food was so delicious that we ended up ordering a second portion — especially the mishkaki, which was outstanding. The prices were very reasonable, and honestly, it felt like the only place during my entire stay in Kenya where I was charged a fair, normal price, not an inflated “tourist” price. The tree house complex itself looks beautiful. The houses are well designed and offer a good level of privacy, surrounded by nature. I think this is an ideal place to stay overnight for anyone who enjoys being close to nature and wants a peaceful, unique experience. I highly recommend both the food and the bush babies feeding experience.

    It's a lovely place for backpackers. The stuff is very kind, the food is good. Every evening they have baby bush feeding.

    Sleeping here feels like being deep in the forest — surrounded by birdsong, the playful calls of monkeys, and the gentle rustle of leaves. Most of all, it gives you an incredible sense of relaxation and peace. We have slept in one of the tree houses and it was amazing. If you want something different from rich tourist hotel resorts... then this is the right place.
