Pet-friendly hotels and homes in Shela

Located on the top floor of a house in Shela, the balcony has a view of the ocean and the apartment, including the room and bathroom were spotless. The apartment has the local arquitectual charm, and you are minutes away from restaurants and cafes of the town. Abdul Aziz was a kind and welcoming host. In the afternoon and evening we enjoyed sitting out on the terrace and taking in the relaxing atmosphere of the town. It was quite hot and humid, so it was nice to have air conditioning. The people in Shela are welcoming and would greet us as they passed us in the alleys.

Nyama is a great host and the hotel management was very good with communication about how to reach the house. They also arranged for me the transportation from the airport jetty to Shela.

We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home ! We loved the view of the sand dunes, located in a safe neighborhood and 1-2 minutes walk to the restaurants in Shela and oceanfront! The house manager cooked us such tasty Swahili dishes at our request. We’ll definitely be back again! Thank you to the team that made our stay wholesome!

Very warm and friendly reception. Beyond expectations! We were initially doubting to book due to a false comment of bathroom privacy issue, but we took chances and had a lovely stay, bathroom/shower is separated with locking mechanism from both sides. Host is super friendly, and greets/welcomes from Jetty, and even from Airport offers pickup service, which feels like home. We broke a glass accidently and they were cool about it too. Very accommodating, always at service to take us around as historical alleys there don't show up in Maps. We will return for sure.

Quiet and peaceful despite fronting the ocean. Most seafront hotels here would hear noises of motor boats but Peponi is different. Two very lovely dogs hanging around which add charm to the hotel. Staff are mostly well trained. I also love the trees and appreciate that the hotel keeps big trees. Restaurant’s food is so delicious especially thh desserts.
