We only had 5 nights here but we felt like at home. The views from here are absolutely perfect. The house is located in the perfect seafront. The rooftop terrace is great. We had a really spacious room that was clean and comfortable. But the breakfast was really the highlight of the stay!! Mr. Ibrahim hosted us perfectly and made our time in Lamu perfect. We will definitely book here again. To sit on the balcony feels like being on a cruise ship ⚓

Beautiful Swahili house with a breathtaking view of the ocean and private swimming pool. Don’t miss the beautiful rooftop, where you can relax and enjoy the stars at night. Thank you so much to Michael and especially Steve who went above and beyond assisting us with our trip, giving helpful tips and even upgraded us after the first night when the best room became vacant 🙏 Unfortunately no hot water and mediocre pressure in shower.

A beautiful property with a view of the water and a window on the hustle of life on the seashore. Was a unique and serene experience-Lamu is it's own creature on the kenyan coast! Everyone here was warm and helpful and the breakfasts that were included on a nearby (pretty much private when we visited) rooftop were lovely! Thank you Steve and Micheal.

We spent 2 nights of our honeymoon on this place! Awesome location, awesome front water room, the little balcony is a plus! However..... no hot water and the shower is really really bad!!! Overall I would still recommend the place if you don’t mind having a bad cold shower 🥹

Oh, let me tell you about Pwani House—it's an absolute gem! The moment you step in, you're greeted by these breathtaking views that just sweep you off your feet. The views are just stunning, whether you're in bed, on the balcony, or up on the rooftop. And the house has even a private swimming pool :) The location is top! Everything you need is right there. And the hosts? They're amazing. They made sure I was comfy and gave me awesome recommendations. If you're looking for a slice of paradise, I can't recommend Pwani House enough.
