The staff was ever so helpful and amazing. Kudoz to Kalu and Chai. The breakfast was amazing and great portions- and variety. A great hidden GEM! So breathtaking. Amazing guides, cool place to just chill if you don't want to move around. The views were scenic and it was easy to navigate around. Great, great bread! The owner Thomas was so down to earth and cool! Peaceful and privacy guaranteed.

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.

    It is a beautiful place to stay; charming, comfortable, clean, excellent breakfast and staff, not a lot more you require on your holiday ;). Would definitely recommend. Of course a swimming pool would be nice, but not so very practical in its location.
