Great stay!
"Had a wonderful stay, staff were very friendly and the breakfast was delicious. One thing to bear in mind is that this location is in the town centre and not near Shella beach - it's either a 40 mins walk or a 15 minute boat ride. There is also no aircon on the island so it's just fans."

"Very calm spot, unlike the rest of Lamu. Staff very helpful and very professional, offered to organize outings as needed, which is good because the location is inconvenient for individual exploration."
