Review:
White Horse Residence is an exclusive, deluxe,
privately run holiday guesthouse in Gambia providing
high standards of service in quality accommodation
that is blended into its natural palm forest
surroundings.
It was officially opened on November 2013 but
was originally a private winter home for the
owner,
Peter Weissferdt
and his wife from 2004. The property was later
converted into tourist accommodation by its
German
owner and Gambian business partner to cater
to a select handful of travellers who want peace,
quiet and tranquillity. The White Horse Residence
certainly offers this. Nestled close to the
beach and surrounded by tropical trees and manicured
lawns it blends the traditional and the modern
in just the right balance.
The bedrooms are modern with basic mod cons
yet finished to a high degree, while the accommodation's
roof is topped off with well trimmed thatched
roofs for a more African feel. The uncluttered
bathrooms are nicely fitted with modern wash
basins and showers. Two of the rooms are in
stand-alone grass roofed huts while the third
is in the main guest house. From your bedroom
it's possible to see the Atlantic Ocean expanse
over to the horizon. Due to the accommodation's
proximity to the beach you are unlikely to need
artificial cooling - just open the windows,
take a dip in the pool or enjoy a cool, refreshing
drink at the well stocked Red Pool Bar and enjoy
the cooling sea breezes.
The general grounds of the White Horse guest
house are truly impressive covering a whopping
18,000 square meters of land area, there's more
than enough space for privacy should you need
it.
The central focus of the White Horse lodge is
the 12 metre swimming pool which is surrounded
in a spacious, light brown tiled sunbathing
area with comfortable sunbeds.
Your meals are made to order so do make sure
you get your order in nice and early or you
might miss out on some tasty, professionally
prepared meals. There is also a BBQ pavilion
where occasionally guest can get together and
socialise al fresco style.
Don't for one second think there's not much
to do while there. There are plenty of activities
and excursions to choose from. You can take
a day trip to the local food markets, outlying
villages, a safari on one of the nature reserves,
canoe tours spotting crocodiles and hippos,
transfers to nightclubs and restaurants in Senegambia,
Banjul, Kotu etc., birdwatching tours, river
or ocean fishing by Quicksilver motorboat (incl.
fishing tackle), kite surfing, bike rides, massage,
manicures,
or request something that takes your fancy.
