Lamu County : locations de vacances adaptées aux enfants

the house is super beautiful, very airy and the wind passes through. the pool is great and the rooftop terrace is jist incredible for star gazing. the location is as described, some 10mins walk from Peponi. it's an easy walk and allows you to feel a bit more like part of the local life. however, it's not so comfortable for going to the beach, perhaps more for hanging out in the beautiful house, going out for dinners.. a great option for a larger group of friends. we felt a bit like the house staff intruded our privacy a bit too much on the first day, but this was quickly addressed when we spoke to the manager and Bassam.

Fishbone is a beautiful traditional Lamu/Swahili style house, with a stunning roof terrace and a wonderful courtyard. You can sleep 8 guests comfortably. Best part: although there is no pool, it is very accessible within 5mn walk from the nearest beach and 7mn walk from Peponi hotel (and as always, you will enjoy getting lost in Lamu!), yet still very quiet and private. We have stayed in many houses in Lamu and Fishbone's architecture and attention to detail is unmatched! Points for improvement: some of the fans did not work and some of the mosquito nets are in need of repair (make sure to take mozzie repellent and anti-malarial tablets!). A clothes rack would also be helpful, especially in the rainy season.

Vackert och enkelt boende som ger mer känsla för byn Shela än att bo på hotell. Vi blev väl omhändertagna av hushållerskan Elizabeth!

We loved our stay at Pumbao House. It was perfect for our family: two parents and three young adults. It was our final stop after an few weeks traveling through Kenya, and provided the peaceful, casual, comfortable space we needed. We enjoyed every meal cooked by Mwembe, and left the decision making up to him. It was not hard to say "yes!" to "catch of the day"! He and Alex made us feel at home, and were so helpful in every way. Every bedroom was spacious and had an en suite bathroom. We used the pool every day, as well as the outdoor shower. Peponi's was just a few steps away and provided the perfect place for a "sundowner" and a card game at the end of each day, before returning to the house for dinner. I would definitely recommend this house for a family or couples/families traveling together. We created amazing memories there, especially up in the "crow's nest" at the top of the house, where we lay on deep comfortable cushions to look at the stars. We will be back!

La casa di Hannah è splendida, dotata di tutti i comfort, arredata con semplicità e grande gusto, con dettagli non da poco. Non manca nulla, ma proprio nulla, dai teli mare alla governante che fa il bucato tutti i giorni ai mobili colorati in plastica riciclata che sembra legno recuperato. Per non parlare del cuoco... eccezionale... Chiedetegli di preparare pesce e verdure e vi saprà stupire. Ma poi coi granchi allo zenzero vi lascerà a bocca aperta. La casa è sempre ventilata e soprattutto la terrazza alta è perfetta per rilassarsi sull'amaca. È infine Hannah, la padrona di casa, gentilissima e attenta a ogni nostra esigenza senza mai essere invadente. Non si potrà non ritornare!

Camilla’s place is absolutely stunning. Tucked away in a sand dune within sight and sound of the ocean. The tide is wide and creates a sandy expanse at low, and a choppy sea at high The open living space is spacious with high cathedral roof and a large sitting area with a kitchen area large enough for all four of us to prepare meals. The dining table is big and sturdy. The bedrooms are also spacious with king beds and full square mosquito nets. The bathrooms are large and open. The house staff, Baraka and Salma welcomed us on the beach as we arrived and to tote our bags to the house. They are discreet and let us be independent with cooking and cleaning. They offered to wash laundry, made beds, and Baraka even helped us find wine at a local shop. Truly one of a kind. Thank you Camilla and team.

My friends and I loved our stay at Arjun's place. There was three of us so we had plenty of space and Paul and Michael took such great care of us for the few days that we were there. Communication before and during the arrival was clear and helpful. The place was absolutely stunning and the food by Michael was a highlight...honestly his food was better than some of the restaurants on the island. 5 stars for the whole experience and would definitely come back again. Highly recommend to all looking to go to Lamu Old Town.

Feisal's place was amazing. The house sits on its own plot on Manda Island, just a quick boat ride from Shela and Lamu Town. We had a family of 5 adults, 2 kids, a toddler and 2 infants. There was more than enough space with a balcony on each floor and 3 bedrooms. The sea breeze was incredible and the pool did not disappoint. There is a long dock to go to the boat and as the level of the tide varied each day we enjoyed swimming in the sea some days and beachtime on others. Amina the housekeeper and her daughters kept the place clean and helped us with anything we needed. We hired a chef, Yousef, who cooked amazing meals and even grocery shopped for us. This allowed us to truly relax and our kids loved their time on the island..it was a true adventure for them. We visited the Takwa Ruins, shopped in Shela and ate at several local restaurants. The weather was gorgeous and when it rained it only lasted minutes. The internet speed was great both inside and outside and allowed for streaming and movie afternoons when the kids were tired. We would love to return some day!

Ivor’s place was extremely wonderful!! We had the best stay in Lamu and Ivor is such a wonderful host! Can’t wait to go back again ☺️

The prefect holiday. Made everything soo easy for me. Worth every coin

Loved every bit of my stay. Mohamed was super responsive from the get-go. He gave us all the necessary contacts we needed to help with touring Lamu and was always a call away in case of anything. Cant wait to come back!

I had an amazing stay at this cozy penthouse studio! The space is clean and beautifully decorated with the star fish and maasai sculpture. The atmosphere is relaxing atmosphere. There is plenty of fresh air flow and natural light, making it feel open and refreshing. The free bottled water is a rare find in many places of that budget. And it being cold water, was a great bonus. The smart TV and WiFi made my stay even more comfortable. The location is safe, and just a short distance from key areas. The host was welcoming , caring and always available to assist. I highly recommend this place.

We loved our stay at the apartment! Everything was very clean, all necessities were provided and we could get any kind of help at any hour. We felt super welcomed and regret not staying longer. We would love to come again.

We booked it with a very short notice maybe 2 hours prior to the check in time. Still was the host very helpful and quick to organise everything for us. We had a great experience and enjoyed the location. It was very central and this gave us a great exponents of lamu! Will gladly come back!
