The spacious apartment has a terrace, 1 bedroom, a living room and a well-equipped kitchenette. It was fantastic all around. Abas the host was very helpful, the flat is in a great location and the finishing in the flat was very high quality. I would highly recommend staying at Star House.

Featuring a shared lounge and views of garden, Shela Bliss is a recently renovated bed and breakfast set in Lamu, 400 metres from Manda Beach. This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking. The bed and breakfast features family rooms. We loved the decor, the quiet situation and the breakfast served by Emmanuel who hosted perfectly. It felt like a real home, not an anonymous guest house. The beach was incredibly clean and despite the poverty very little was being hawked so it was truly peaceful. Shela is far preferable to Lamu.
