Accommodation in a quiet location, yet close to the port. Large rooms with good facilities (only the bathroom a bit outdated). There is a large terrace with views of the town and surrounding countryside. Friendly and helpful staff (Joseph) who arranged our transport from the airport, did our shopping and helped us with our suitcase. Shela is the perfect place to stay on Lamu!
