The beach is one of Asha Cottage's
main natural attractions. White sands and crystal clear
water year round. The Ledge is Asha Cottage's
beach front sand terrace where guests can have meals,
drinks and cocktails, take sun, read or simply watch the
waves and people as they stroll by.
We have a small local boat (ngalawa) with
which guests can go snorkelling or simply meander on the
reef (exposed at low tide only) which is about 1.5 kms
from the high tide mark. Some snorkelling equipment is
available for rent or on sale in the Asha Boutique.
Other water sports and deep-sea fishing are also easily
available through neighbouring hotels and diving clubs (kitesurfing,
diving, canoeing, etc).
Asha Cottage has a beautiful fresh water swimming pool that is very
close to the beach, but remains private and discreet. In
full view of all rooms and designed around 50 to 70-year
old coconut palm trees, the pool is one of the
centre-pieces of Asha Cottage. Chlorine and pH are
controlled daily.
Asha Cottage has a separate air conditioned (one of the
few in Diani Beach) Snooker Room equipped with a half-size snooker table, a lovely card table for bridge and
card games, chess or back gammon and a dart board. It
has a lovely outside deck overlooking the ocean. With a
lovely bookshelf and a selection of books for
guests to enjoy (in English and Italian) the Snooker
Room is also a lovely place to sit and enjoy the before
or after dinner hours in a relaxed company. All drinks
and cocktails are served from this bar which also
services The Ledge, right on the sea front, where
cocktails and, wind permitting, lunch or dinner can be
served under the palm trees with the ocean lapping up
against the sea wall. |
