Description
Can't believe this place is not listed here! Extremely quiet place, even for Abéné, seemingly lost in the bush, but close enough to the village and the beach. There's plenty of shade (and plenty of fruit trees) to pitch tents and rooms in nice little rondavels with dry toilets. Place is off the grid, so electricity is solar. You get light in the huts, but phones need to be charged in the family house. Water is usually pumped from the well to all rooms, but at the moment the pump is broken so bucket shower is the way to go. Breakfast is included and other meals are available on demand. There's a little cheap bar as well. Plenty of books to read or swap, mainly in English, including the late owner Simon Fenton's "Squirting Milk at Chameleons". Khady and her family make you feel like you're part of it and there's no better place to chill and take a little break from travelling.

We didn’t find the place! We walked around the spot! Impossible for a truck to go there!
Report Check-InVery fine place, We can confirm everything, please come here and support Khady, she is a very lovely person snd her site is just perfect
Report Check-InIf you decide to visit Abene, this is definitely the place to stay. A very relaxing place in the middle of a beautiful garden with lots of birds and other animals (nice dogs, cat, big ducks). Both rooms and camping spots are available at very reasonable prices. Everything was built by the famous writer Simon Fenton and his lovely wife Khady. Unfortunately Simon died in a car accident in 2017. Khady and the two cute boys Gulliver and Alfie are doing everything they can to make your stay pleasant. Khady is a great cook (fresh fish available!) and whatever you need from a shop they will get it for you! Also laundry service available. If you like you can buy a book from Simon, lay back and enjoy reading it in the setting where it was written!
We highly recommend this place, because it’s a very lovely place, but also to support Khady who really is in need of the money after her husband passed away. She is struggling to survive.
Not accessible for big rigs.
For shower and toilet you can use one of the rooms, very comfortable.
Price for camping CFA 5.000
