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!

It was a great stay. Immanuel was incredible, helping us with directions, turn down service, recommendations and breakfast. The home itself is beautiful with great amenities and especially views of the city.

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.

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.

The design of the house is amazing. It's centrally located in Lamu. The facilities are very comfortable, including the mattresses. The kitchen is well equipped. We enjoyed the pool and the relaxation areas of the property: around the pool, the terrace, the rooftop. Peter was very kind, helpful and discreet. We would like to thank you.

Very authentic and stylish home with attention to the smallest details. Rooms were spacious and the shared kitchen was well-equipped with anything you might need. Cute rooftop with a sea view. The on-site caretaker was always positive and helpful. Just steps away from the main square, near the fort.
