Karibuni Treehouse (Welcome)
The Treehouse team is honored to be here for you to help you get exactly what you want and need on this holiday or retreat, whether it is rest and relaxation, yoga and massage, adventures, great food - or a combination of the above. Here are a few notes that previous guests have said they wished they had known at the beginning:
Sunrise and Sunset Drinks
The Sunrise and Sunset are awesome daily events, and guests who make the effort to be on the beach at Sunrise or in a great spot to experience the Sunset are always glad they did. Where to be:
Sunrise ranges from 5.50am to 6.25am, and the daily times are posted on our guest information board. So if you want to see it on the beach you need to leave Treehouse a few minutes before. Or see sunrise from your room or the yoga room. Make sure you check the daily times.
Sunset ranges from 6.10pm to 6.40pm, and the daily times are posted on our guest information board. Good places to be are: the Treehouse Yoga Room or your room if it faces sunset, Short Beach, on a kayak or SUP trip in Mida Creek, or at the Crab Shack. Make sure you check the daily times.
Included in your package are sunrise and sunset drinks. We have a daily sign up sheet near the kitchen where you write down what you would like and where you would like to have it.
Hot Water
We have many systems to provide you with hot water and hot showers and you should have it! If you don’t please tell Guest Relations. We ask you to please keep showers as short as possible as Watamu is actually a very dry area.
Towels
Towels – pool and beach towels are available in the basket near the round table by the pool. Please leave the room towels in the room – the beach towels are better for the beach.
Beach Umbrellas
We have a few beach umbrellas. If you are going to be on the beach for a long period, ask one of the Team to bring an umbrella to the beach for you.
Walks
If you would like to go for a walk through the villages nearby, one of the Treehouse Team members will be happy to take you. There is no charge - just please offer a tip. Inquire at the office.
Room Turn-down
The beds are “turned down” each evening around 4.30 pm or 5.30 pm. Mosquitos are persistent and it is hard to keep them out of the nets. Spray is used, so if you don’t want it in your rooms, please tell us. Please make extra effort to keep the nets closed and do not leave gaps – and you will get a better sleep.
Monkeys
The rooms are open, so please be careful with the monkeys that enter in the rooms. They are pretty harmless but can take personal items and will definitely take any food you leave in the room. We have designed monkey boxes in each room which you need to place all your cosmetics, medications and snacks in. However, we ask you to please leave ALL food in the guest fridge or kitchen - they will find food in your suitcases.
alcohol & service
Treehouse does not sell alcohol or sodas, however you are welcome to get your own and keep them in the guest refrigerator. If you have your own drinks, ask the team to serve them to you.
Valuables
We have safes in each room. As anywhere, please leave your valuables in the safes. Treehouse is not responsible for items left unsecured. If you have very large valuable items, you can leave them in the office safe.
Also please do not leave shoes or other items unattended on the beach.
Guest Information
The office has a lot of information - what shops and restaurants are currently open, the times of opening, and tide information that will help you know the best times for being on the beach or going for walks.
Whatever you would like – please ask – and we will do our best to organise it.
