Our villa is ideally located, close access to the sea and small beach ( half coral half sand).
We are central located on the island, and 3 km from the center of town.
Yet it offers a lot of privacy and is very spacious.
We are lucky to have the Bonerian nature right next to our door.
A group of Laura's, the local parrots, enjoy spending the night next to our villa.
This creates beautiful scenes in the morning and in the evening.
You can also enjoy iguanas and lizards from your lounge.
And regularly "Bob", the neighborhood donkey, passes by with his family.
This is why we have to close the gate in the evening, otherwise he really comes to visit, however more for the kliko waste bin but still.
About us:
We are from Belgium and have landed on Bonaire through our passion for diving.
For years we have made dive trips to incredible destinations including Bonbaire, Philippines, Thailand, Galapagos, Egypt, Mediterranean, Komodo Islands, our own North Sea etc....
What caught the eye was that the destination Bonaire was always on our program every 2 à 3 trips. We didn't get bored of this place, on the contrary we discovered more and more and fell in love with it.
We are both dive instructors, and there is no place on earth that offers so much beauty and gives so much freedom to water sports enthusiasts as Bonaire. Magnificent reefs with colorful fish and coral, very easily accessible.
Also for windsurfers or kiteboarders it is THE PLACE TO BE !
Now that we are living here, we also enjoy being on land.
We walk and mountainbike regularly in this beautiful nature. Ok, we have an electric bike;-) Hakuna Matata hey... No worries!
We take our sports on the easy)))
For years we organized dive trips for our diving club in Dilbeek, and found out that this is really something we like.
We love to share and let people get introduced to Bonaire.
We enjoy it!

Quiet and restful

We loved staying here! Jos could not have been more helpful and kind. He lives right next door. The pluses are that you are never far from anything in Bonaire, from attractions to grocery stores. The property is beautiful and we loved the large opening to the outside and the pool. The tree house is magical and another intimate outside space to go to. The pool was just the right temperature and size. There are plenty of blow-dryers ( ladies! ) And you don't really need an electric converter unless you want to use a straightener by the mirror! The coffeemaker only makes one pot at a time with whole beans, so if that's important to you, I advise bringing a small coffee maker. The water is good, so no need for nasty one use plastic water bottles. Favorites site is Lac Bay! The water is calm, warm, and shallow. On the way, stop by the donkey sanctuary! They are a hoot! Shore snorkeling and diving are excellent. But beware, there are not many sandy beaches to sunbathe as the shore is pretty rocky ( iron shore). Each bedroom has a beach bag, beach towels, small cooler, refrigerator and a safe! They have thought of everything! The stove is conduction so ask how to use it if you're not already familiar- trust me in this. Oh and watch for the hilarious parrots that fly above and cackle at each other!

Beautiful property

Hakuna Matata was amazing. We rented all of the rooms which gave our party of 12 plenty of room. The pool was such a nice feature in the afternoons after our full days of diving. We wouldn’t want to be anywhere else on the island as the location was perfect for diving as well as trips into town. We rented two trucks which made it easy to explore the island. Christa and Jos were excellent hosts- very responsive and provided great recommendations. We will definitely highly recommend to our friends and family.

Island getaway

Great property with very accommodating hosts! The island is small so it's easy to get around. Property worked well for our family of 5.

Lovely large house with fabulous viewing deck

Very comfortable house, homely feel and safe location. Lots of space for everyone (our party consisted of 7 adults plus a baby). The friendly and knowledgeable owners live right next but observe absolute privacy for their renters. Pool quite deep. Great reef – quiet spot – within very short walking distance. Our absolute favorite spot at sunrise and sunset, and when we preferred some cooling winds during the day, was the large viewing deck (much larger than the pictures show). The best sunsets we have ever seen at Bonaire.

10/10 Excellent

Wonderful 2 week stay at hakuna Matata

Our group of 10 had a very comfortable stay at the villa. All 5 rooms were very comfortable with washrooms and good ac. The kitchen and bbq were very handy for preparing meals. The lovely pool was great for cooling off in the afternoon. Dive lockers fo each room was very handy for the divers in our group. A favourite hangout is the treehouse, the raised gazebo from which we could watch the ocean and the birds and the iguanas In the neighbouring green space. Christa and jos were very attentive and the few problems we had were resolved very quickly. Would definately stay again if we have a large group like this again. The perfect spot for our getaway!
