Tucked away in the centre of Lamu's historic Old Town, this 16th century Arab-style town house is the perfect place from which to explore the sonorous Swahili culture, historic architecture, and lush natural beauty that encompasses all that is Lamu.

Specifically designed for the budget traveller, our hostel-type accommodation offers dormitories and private rooms, a traditional coastal restaurant serving affordable Swahili-style food and an extensive rooftop lounging area to unwind and relax on. Our central location means you're only 2 mins away from local shops, the seafood market, banks, restaurants and seafront, and 20 mins from the bus station, airport and the white sandy beaches of Shela and Manda island.

We can organise a variety of activities such as sunset dhow cruises, fishing trips, sailing trips around the surrounding islands, water sports, guided tours around the historic Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, or anything else you might be inclined to do during your stay.
