Guest House is brand sparkling new! It is built using the Swahili architectural designs, for example having a baraza (conversation area where guests are met) outdoors, using mangrove posts on ceiling, and using stone beds for coolness. We border Mwana Mshamu Mosque, and are within easy walking distance from the Swahili House Museum (5 min), Lamu Museum, (10 min), the local market by Lamu Fort (15 mins), Shela Beach (50 min) and by boat (15 min) or by boda boda motorbike (10 min). Other than the bedrooms, the communal spaces (garden, lounge, kitchen, terrace), are for everyone to enjoy. The house is run by myself and there is usually a member of staff who will do so when I am away. Whether you are from Kenya or visiting Kenya/ Africa for the first time, you will find this an easy place to stay. There are restaurants (Jannat House nearby and several others on the seafront), art galleries / art shops all around, 2 supermarkets (near the Fort), small pharmacies along the main street (before the fort and after the fort), and internet cafes.
