"Such a beautiful little cottage with everything you could possibly need."
Very well maintained and gorgeous little touches to make you feel at home. The owners were lovely and gave me space but were around for any questions I had. The area is beautiful, lots of lovely places to explore. I would highly recommend for anyone looking to stay in this area who wants a comfortable, home away from home place to stay.
Thank you Isabella for the nice words about Karibu. They are most appreciated by Sue and I. Property Owner

"Superb one room accommodation."
Large bathroom with a good shower over the bath. Lovely welcome pack. Spotlessly clean in a very quiet location.
Apologies for not responding earlier. It is always nice to hear our guests enjoyed their stay at Karibu. Thank you Ian and Sue. Property Owner

"We love staying at Karabu."
always neat and clean and the 'little extras' are a bonus. Particularly enjoyed sitting with the half door open onto the garden right up to bedtime are there no midges in Worthing? Thank you Ian and Sue x
Thank you, its always good to hear our guests have enjoyed staying at Karibu and perhaps the midge season hasn't started here yet. Regards. Ian and Sue. Property Owner

"Quality and comfort at very competitive prices."
Ian and Sue are such lovely, welcoming hosts. They were on hand to help if needed but in no way intrusive. They go the extra mile; the bottles of prosecco, fresh lemon shortbread and a pint of milk and water in fridge was such a nice touch. It's a beautiful quiet spot to stay with easy access to go explore Sussex.
Thank you for the kind words. We want all are guests to have a lovely stay at Karibu whatever they are in Worthing to do. Ian and Sue Property Owner

"When we arrived we greeted by a warm welcome."
We entered the room to find a lovely clean and welcomimg space, they had even left us milk, tea, coffee, sugar & fizz. They had even thought of entertainment...a stack of various dvd's. They had left a lovely folder which told us of recommended places to eat and visit. They made a great effort to make sure you enjoyed your stay,they even had chairs table and a brabeque if you wanted them. The room had a lovely home feeling and would definately recommend this to others, and we would rent again.
Thank you. Property Owner

Thank you for the kind words. Property Owner

"We very much enjoyed our holiday, the only drawback was the lack of storage space and work surface, cant see how this can be improved due to layout of building."
Would definitely go back again. Sue and Ian were wonderful hosts
Thank you for your comments. Look forward to seeing you again. Property Owner

"This is our fourth stay and every time we are very pleased."
Sue and Ian are always most friendly and are only too pleased to help in any way. The welcome pack is also most welcome especially the homemade cake.
Lovely to see you again and we are looking forward to your 5th visit. Ian and Sue Property Owner

"We had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay."
There was everything that we needed at Karibu and the extra treats, including Prossecco and lemon drizzle cake were much appreciated. We would definitely stay again.
Thank you, please come again when you can. Ian and sue Property Owner

"The owners are lovely helpful people and i have never ever stayed at any property which was as pristine clean as karibu."
Lots of extras available (shower gel, sugar, tea, milk, cake etc etc etc) which is very useful to have at the start or end of your stay, before and after packing. Only small thing I would like to make clear is that parking is on the road near the property, although the owners were very helpful saying that I could park in the drive to pack up the car upon leaving. A delightful stay and I could not recommend it more highly.

"Ian and Sue where the perfect guest givers, always willing to help and giving good tips on anything you needed or wanted to know."
The Karibu was very clean and tidy and had all accessories needed to have a comfortable stay. Sue's homemade cookies are the Hammer. We also had a few visits from Sue's cat Milly(a little gem). The outside area is tidy and it's great to come back to after a day out and just sit and relax(and grill if you wish). Ian does a lot with helping children with woodworking (cutting the pieces privately in his garage) a high respect for this, and also keeping the outside area at home in shape and still had time for a conversation. On arrival there was Sekt in the fridge as a welcome (tops) and of course the homemade Cookies. The only thing which wasn't optimal (not Sue's or Ian's fault) was that the bed isn't really wide enough for two people if they are a bit larger in size, apart from this absolutely nothing to complain about well not really a complain more or less a suggestion for the future when the bed has to be replaced. Myself and my Wife would definitely suggest the Karibu. All the very best to Ian & Sue. From Alan and Karola.

"We had a lovely stay at Karibu, Ian and Sue were very friendly and helpful, the cottage was extremely clean and well equipped and provided everything we could have needed."
Lovely extra touches on arrival of fresh milk, lemon cake and Prosecco. Will definitely love to return when next visiting the area.
-
"The property was very comfortable and in very good order."
There was easy and safe parking just along the road. It proved to be a very convenient base for us. It was just a short distance to the South Downs on foot and there are lots of places of interest nearby. The annexe contained everything we needed. Had the weather been just a bit warmer we could have taken advantage of the quiet and secluded outdoor space. It was ideal for the two of us.

"Had a lovely stay at Karabu."
Perfect location for exploring the Sussex coast. Ian and Sue are perfect hosts. Lots of lovely extras like cake!!!!
Thank you. Property Owner

"Excellent stay, very well equipped accommodation and spotlessly clean."
-
"This is our third visit as we do go to see family."
You cannot fault the facility in anyway. Plus a great new feature is a Micro Pub within walking distance which is great as you do need a car for anything else other than walking over the South Downs.
-
"Our stay at this cute place was lovely."
Ian and Sue are sweet and helpful if need more information for visiting the area. They even left the cake and milk in the fridge for us, unfortunately we are vegans so we didn't touch it. Easy access to other places in Sussex and the navigation isn't complicated. The only thing I'd like to recommend will be in the yard could have a sensor light at the entrance when come back late. Couldn't see any thing other than that its great. Would recommend this place for sure. Thanks for adding the extra points for our holiday experience.
Thank you all for your kind comments about Karibu they are most appreciated. Regards Sue and Ian. As for the outside lighting, it does have a daylight sensor but we must make the instructions for its use more user friendly especially as the Autumn is upon us. Thanks for pointing the issue out.

"Enjoyable stay, helpful and friendly owners."
-
"All we needed for the week's stay."
Clean and comfortable, apart from the slatted blinds not keeping the room dark enough for a good night's sleep for me. Delicious lemon cake and bottles of prosecco were thoughtful and welcome touches.
-

"A very nice compact accommodation, owners very friendly, quiet good location,& within easy reach of all amenities."
Karibu has now celebrated its first year and we would like to thank our guests for their positive feedback and we look forward to seeing you again. Regards. Sue and Ian. Property Owner
-
"Excellent accommodation and hosts."
Wanted for nothing in terms of facilities. Out of town if you are looking for seafront activity but in terms of value for money, even with a couple of taxi fares, it was well worth it.
-
"Ian and Sue were excellent hosts; welcoming, engaging, friendly and knowledgeable on the surrounding area."
The accommodation afforded everything you would need for an excellent stay. The room was snug and very well presented with comfortable bed, lovely bathroom and compact but very functional & usable kitchen area equipped with all utensils you would require. Quiet location with attractions within easy reach. Will recommend to family and friends.
-
"Karibu was exactly what we wanted, we were really comfortable in this studio with a well-equipped kitchen and a warm welcome."
Thank you for the delicious biscuits and the fizz - they were much appreciated. We will keep this in mind whenever we need a stay in Sussex for family visits. Wonderful, thank you
-
"Karibu was warm, cosy and comfortable."
There was everything we needed for our stay, and had the weather been warmer, a very pleasant courtyard with table and chairs. Sue and Ian were very welcoming hosts and attentive to our every need. The arrival gifts of Prosecco and goodies to eat were very welcome. Karibu is found down a quiet close, with easy parking nearby and close to walks on the downs and lots of places to visit nearby along the south coast.
-
"The property was ideally situated to meet our needs and was well appointed."
The rooms were very clean and tidy and the owners went out of their way to make us feel welcome and we were delighted with the arrival pack - especially the cake and prosecco. The property is well located to visit local sites and the route in and out is easy to navigate with plenty of parking. The outside facilities would be excellent in summer. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would strongly recommend this property to anyone wanting to visit the area.
-
"Sue & Ian were welcoming."
Could not ask for better hosts. The little gifts they left in the room were much appreciated. Nothing was too much bother, everything you ever needed was provided in the room. We had a brilliant nights sleep, the bed was very comfortable. It was lovely having a full size fridge, & real milk provided for us, not the small individual UHT milk you get in the large hotel chains. Would certainly go back.
-
"Situated in a bland housing estate with nothing in walkable distance, poor parking arrangement and a small, uncomfortable bed."
Long list of rules!
-
"Karibu is very comfortable (especially the bed), and is in an ideal location to visit tourist spots in Sussex."
It has all you need for a holiday and the excellent hosts are close by to ensure your stay is perfect.
-
"Welcoming couple, exceptionally clean and anything you could need to enjoy your stay."
-
"Weren't expecting a lovely welcome pack, we enjoyed our stay it was a good base to explore the beautiful Sussex coastline and the Downs."
Our only complaint is the mattress springs digging into us, everything else is excellent.
Thank you for your feedback for Karibu. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed our property and the beautiful Sussex coastline. We can confirm that we have taken your comments on board and the mattress has now been changed. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Property Owner

The property
Nestled at the foot of the South Downs National Park in High Salvington, West Sussex is Karibu, a charming studio-style annex.
Perfect for a romantic retreat, this delightful dwelling offers a lovely garden and on road parking while being within easy reach of local amenities, Worthing town, and the lively city of Brighton.
As you step into the property, you will find a kitchen area, fit with all the necessities for your self catering requirements such as an electric hob and a fridge, along with an all-important kettle for your morning cup of tea.
From here, snuggle up with your other half on the sofa and watch the TV after a long day of discovering the local area.
As the evening draws to a close, head off to the plush double bed for some well-deserved rest ahead of another adventurous day out.
The light and airy décor brings lots of natural light into the space and is finished nicely with stylish neutral furniture.
Guests will also benefit from a bathroom with a bath, shower over, basin and WC, where you can choose to freshen up between activities or soak in a bubble bath while indulging in a good book.
Outside, there is a charming courtyard, delicately decorated with pots of greenery and dining seating where you can savour a glass of wine with your loved one in the last of summer sun.
Treat yourself you to a meal out while during your stay at one of the local eateries such as Anaz Indian Restaurant or for classic pub grub, venture into the nearby Findon to the Black Horse Inn.
Plenty more pubs, restaurants and cafés can be found in the town of Worthing, where you can also pick up traditional fish and chips to enjoy at Worthing Pier.
Venture out to Brighton for the day; this lively city is home to an abundance of attractions to keep you busy throughout your stay.
Upside Down House is a fascinating museum of optical illusions based on the colourful seafront of Brighton.
Spend a day discovering the South Downs National Park; Cissbury Ring is a reasonable walk from the doorstep of the property and is known for being the most historic hill on the South Downs.
Get a taste for the countryside by visiting Coombes farm, a working farm open to the public for lambing season, tractor rides and fishing in their lake known as, Passies Pond.
There are also plenty of beaches in the area, explore the coast or set up camp for the day and soak up some rays before heading back to cosy up in your home away from home.
