Holiday rentals in Lower Niumi

I chose this apartment primarily for its location and security. It was exactly as I’d hoped. Beautiful views of the beach which was also easy to access. Unfortunately the sea was too rough for swimming but great for a bit of fun jumping the waves. Short taxi drive to Senegambia where you’ll find loads of bars and restaurants with varied menus to suit all tastes. Taxis are easy to access and very reasonably priced. Small supermarket a few minutes walk from the apartment. I felt very safe at this apartment. Very friendly security staff 24 hours a day. Bakary was also very friendly and helpful. The swimming pool was well kept and equipped with sun beds. The apartment was spacious with all 3 bedrooms with a good en suite. Well equipped kitchen. It was not a problem to us but be aware the apartment is on the third floor with no lift. It does add to the fantastic beach view of course.

Not Only is this place beautiful but the host is very welcoming and understanding! the place is spacious & clean! we really enjoyed this place! i recommended anyone who comes to gambia and is looking to rent to BOOK THIS PLACE ! thank me later!.

Elegant tasteful apartment nice touches like dressing table with mirror storage baskets. Matching mugs my favourite colour too lol Appreciated the water and milk left for me. Felt like i could live there. Lovely security staff felt safe as a lone traveller. I would certainly recommend this apartment to friends and definitely stay again . Hope to be there later on in the year. Beverley. X

Imagine, if you will, traveling to a foreign country during a pandemic, arriving at the black of night, hassled by shady immigration officers, and having no local money. Absolute nightmare, but then swoops in the angels of mercy-Lorraine and Roy! They arranged for their driver to collect us from the airport, AND paid for our visa and airport security fee. We did reimburse them. (Note: Bring only British pounds or Gambian dalasi! No cards or USD accepted.) When we arrived at their place, Lorraine brought us food so we wouldn’t starve in the night. Then the next morning, she and Roy both greeted us with big smiles and friendly advice. The place is a dream!!! There is a lovely petite kitchen with all one needs for simple meals, a tiled shower with plenty of hot water, and two clean bedrooms with comfortable beds. The outside space is an oasis. They have created a slice of paradise complete with a large clean swimming pool, lounge areas, an honor bar, and a thatched roof gazebo. Lorraine and Roy are a wealth of information, and they are quite the adventurers. Ask Roy to tell you about their adventures of crossing the desert—before the days of mobile phones, GPS, or roads. Put it this way—you’d be a fool to stay anywhere else!

Diese Unterkunft war ein absolutes Highlight unserer Reise. Das Apartment hat einen eigenen Zugang zum kleineren Pool und liegt direkt am Strand. Besonders schön ist der Meerblick vom Schlafzimmer aus. Mounir ist ein sehr freundlicher und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber, alles ist sehr gut organisiert.

We hebben een week verbleven in de appartement. Ahmed was vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Appartement was goed en comfortabel. De enige minpuntje was dat er 1 beveiliging op en aanmerkingen had over mijn 11 jarige zoon die lekker bij het zwembad aan het spelen was. Er verbleven daar meer oudere mensen die de hele dag aan het zonnen zijn bij het zwembad. Er wordt geen begrip getoond (door beveiliging) voor de wat jongere mensen. Die ook plezier wilt hebben. Om die reden zou ik niet nog een keer bij deze appartementen complex boeken. Niets dan positieve ervaring met Ahmed ik zal deze appartement zeker aanbevelen voor mensen die zonder kinderen reizen.

As a Gambian it was my first time going to the Smiling Coast. Unsure of my experience had I known my 'Soon to be' family was here, I would have booked sooner everyone was so hospitable and friendly it really has become my home from home.... the neighbourhood is safe and secure and if you need an extra friend Kunene the cat might be around. By Gods grace I look forward to seeing everybody again in the near future.

Great location, good apartment. Would stay again. Generator comes on as soon as power cuts which is great. Management are friendly and welcoming. Internet was the best and most reliable I’ve used in The Gambia, and the AC was strong. Very secure, and would certainly recommend especially if travelling alone.

I have stayed for a long period in one studio and can say that it has been perfect for my time. Mostly because of Mr Babz and his family’s family warm hospitality and helpfulness. Communication has been excellent. Any small issues were quickly and conscientiously resolved and the compact accommodation is very clean and comfortable. Although the location is away from the centre of activities but close to the airport, if you want an authentic feel for Gambia in bright, modern accommodation, with laundry service and air conditioning, that is excellent value for money (there are many overpriced and poor quality vacation places close to the beaches), and with a very hospitable, communicative host and family, I really recommend a stay at Babz’s studios.
