Guest reviews
"Mwangati House is simply stunning and we had the best time there – thank you and we would definitely love to stay again!"
"It ticked all the right boxes – from the setting (wonderful views over the creek watching the full moon rise), the rooms and beautiful decor, the lovely ambiance of the outdoor dining area, to the fabulous pool area and so much more. The staff were great and Charo makes the best fish and chips! His curries and chapatis were also a huge hit, especially as he was really careful to make them mild enough for the children. Special mention also goes to Christine. We loved all her vegetable side dishes and salads."
