Phumula Guest Cottage
Phumula Okinawa Guesthouses
Phumula Okinawa, nestled in Izumi Village of Motobu Town in Northern Okinawa, is part of the family owned Izumi Mango Farm. While our primary business is cultivating exclusive mangoes for the Japanese summer gift-giving market, we've been welcoming guests from around the world since we first opened our quaint cabin to the public on Airbnb in 2019.
We now offer two distinct accommodation options on the property:
- The Larger Guest House: This is the original farmhouse, accommodating up to 6 guests
- The Smaller Wooden Cabin: An open-plan, studio style self-catering unit that can sleep up to 4 guests
You might ask, why the name Phumula. The word "Phumula" comes from the Zulu language of South Africa, Kirsten's home country, and means "rest" or "take it easy and slowly."
This secluded guest house retreat is perfect for couples, remote workers, and travellers alike.
The expansive area surrounding the cottage is ideal for children with boundless energy, while those traveling alone or as couples will appreciate the tranquillity, fresh air, and opportunity to unwind and relax.
Off the beaten path, this hideaway offers the perfect escape. Whether you wish to stargaze on clear nights, gather around a campfire, listen to the soothing sounds of the forest, or simply retreat to a beautiful and peaceful setting, Phumula Okinawa is the place for those needing space, nature and peace and quiet.
The wooden interiors of both guest houses create a naturally warm, welcoming, and relaxing atmosphere.
Guests can choose between long and short stays, with almost everything you need within a short 5-20 minute drive. Despite Phumula's isolation from the city, we live on the property, ensuring we're readily available should you need anything urgently.
