The house is wonderful, spacious, luxury and quiet. Bassam is a great host and the staff are excellent too. We had a great time exploring from here or just enjoying doing nothing much at all. It is a bit outside Shela, but not that far and a nice village walk.

The location is fantastic—just a short walk from great restaurants and charming coffee shops. Getting into Lamu town was also hassle-free. The accommodation itself is immaculate—spotlessly clean and well-maintained, with breathtaking views. The terrace with Swahili-style couches was a perfect spot to unwind, soak in the scenery, and enjoy the sea breeze. We also felt safe and at ease throughout our stay. Breakfast was delicious with fresh juices and fruits that added a refreshing touch to our mornings. Abdalla, the owner, was quite helpful and communicative. He provided us with useful recommendations, arranged our boat transfers to and from Manda Airport, and even booked a stunning sunset dhow cruise. Emmanuel, who manages the place, was always ready to assist whenever needed, ensuring our stay was smooth and comfortable.

Accommodation in a quiet location, yet close to the port. Large rooms with good facilities (only the bathroom a bit outdated). There is a large terrace with views of the town and surrounding countryside. Friendly and helpful staff (Joseph) who arranged our transport from the airport, did our shopping and helped us with our suitcase. Shela is the perfect place to stay on Lamu!
