Kinasi is a small, private lodge situated in a coconut
and cashew plantation facing Chole Bay on
Mafia Island, that provides a high standard of accommodation
with tranquility and privacy in beautiful, natural surroundings.
Each of the twelve bungalows has a large verandah and en suite
bathroom. One is a family unit with two bedrooms.
The bungalows have been constructed in rendered concrete block, with
palm-leaf (makuti) roofs, and concrete foundations and floors. There
is all-day electricity and hot and cold water supply from three
permanent wells on the property.
Kinasi is beautifully
furnished with antiques and hand-crafted furniture. The dining room is
appointed with crockery, hand-blown glassware and original works of
art by East African artists.
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, as well as, seafood
barbecues and Swahili cuisine.
