In 2024, a longtime dream came true: a place of our own in Curaçao. We've furnished it with care, and we love coming back whenever we can.

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Uthando in Curaçao! The apartment is beautiful, clean, and equipped with everything you need. We immediately felt at home and thoroughly enjoyed the pool and the lovely surroundings.
Casa Uthando is also in a fantastic location on the island. It's wonderfully peaceful, while still being a great base for exploring Curaçao. Both the beaches and other lovely places on the island are easy to reach. A truly ideal place to stay!
We also really appreciated the communication with Hedy. She's incredibly friendly, helpful, and quick to respond. Everything was well organised, and we felt welcome from our very first contact. She was also easy to reach during our stay, which was very reassuring.
Another great touch was that Hedy had bought a cool box for us beforehand, which we were able to use during our stay. So thoughtful, and a detail we truly appreciated!
In short, we had a wonderful stay. A great location, a lovely apartment, and a host who really thinks along with her guests. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and would definitely come back. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Uthando in Curaçao and would wholeheartedly recommend it. The house was spotless and had every convenience we needed, including a hot shower and a pool right outside the door. Such a treat!
But what really made this stay special was our contact with Hedy. She's kind, clear, and incredibly thoughtful. You can tell she puts real effort into making her guests feel welcome. Check-in and check-out were personal and friendly, exactly what you want after a long journey.
All in all, a lovely home on a beautiful island, with a host who makes all the difference. We'll definitely be back!

We had such a lovely stay! The house's front garden faces a shared courtyard, with the spacious pool just steps away. It's a lovely place to sit outside, at the table or on the lounge sofa. The house is already spacious, but the high ceilings make it feel even larger, and it's very bright. It's warmly and cozily furnished, and I felt at home right away. It also has every convenience: a TV, a large fridge-freezer, and a washing machine. Both bedrooms have a comfortable bed and good air conditioning. There's a fan in the living room, which was all I needed. The house was very clean and tidy throughout. Great shower.
Both the courtyard and the other side of the house are quiet, so noise wasn't a problem.
Parking is easy and secure in the private parking area inside the gate, where each house has at least 1 reserved space.
The owners, Hedy and Ruben, are very warm and communicative, which made arrival, the stay, and check-out easy and pleasant!
The location was perfect: away from the bustle of Mambo and Jan Thiel, but still an easy drive to both. I also loved Westpunt, so it was nice to be a little closer to that side of the island.
Overall, a wonderful stay. I highly recommend the house!
