    Amazing hosts and caretakers, always there to help and very kind. Lovely small touches, like flowers in the room and tips on what to do. Great location by the Seafront, with a beautiful view from the room and rooftop terrace.

Maria
One of the most unique private houses at the Lamu Town seafront. A newly built house comprising three sea-facing Swahili-inspired bedrooms, a refreshing pool and a cosy rooftop make Pwani House a great location to discover Lamu Island. Wake up to the most magnificent sunrise from your bed, and catch your boat right at the doorstep. Zion, our caretaker, will welcome you and ensure that you have a comfortable stay. Always happy to recommend any activities and help with anything you may require, Just next to Lamu House Hotel and within walking distance, guests can find a variety of shops, restaurants, and attractions. You can also get your taxi boat or go on your sailing day out right at the doorstep. We have a great opening special, come and visit us!
Living in Lamu since 2018. In love with the island and always happy welcome guests to our beautiful island!
Lamu is a very laid-back style island, people is friendly and is easy to move around. The area is very safe and accessible right at the seafront. In Lamu we have no cars and everything in town is within walking distance. We move with little taxi boats within the islands and this makes our beautiful Lamu just unique. Shela village is about 10 minutes by boat and Manda Island about 10 - 15 minutes. The airport is also located a short 10 minute ride from the house.
