Rental unit in Shela
5 out of 5 average rating, 4 reviewsSeaview, 5 Bedrooms,Seafront Apartment Villa, pool
the place is very well maintained with friendly care takers, its located in a serene environment away from the busy lamu town, very ideal for family gate aways, you can enjoy total privacy if their are no other bookings on the property, only challenge was no food joints nearby but food can always be delivered to the house by owner owned restaurant, the house is just on the beach hence making it easy for access to boat rides, boda boda are also available. i would definitely suggest Ivor's place to anyone visiting lamu.

Loved this place stayed June 2024. The host even arranged a boat transfer to the airport for us... unfortunately we didn't know about this service until we had got to the apartment and made our own way across the water, but do contact the host before you fly and I'm sure they'll take care of you. The space is huge, there were just 2 of us and it felt like a home. There was always someone available at the property to assist with any queries we had. We will definitely stay here again if we are back in Lamu! We recommend Sailor's Joint restaurant for nice fish and amaizing mango juice at great price :D

Great place and great host. Ivor is very helpful and always responsive. We were traveling as a group of friends and he was communicating mainly with my friend, everything went very well. The place is amazing, peaceful pool in a beautiful garden, plenty of places to chill and hangout in the house. The house is walking distance from Lamu town and Shela, and it is in front of the sea. You can even see the sunrise from the terrace. Staff was helpful and nice. Only note, mattress in the bedrooms can use a renovation, they were not very comfortable. We will surely come back. Thank you Ivor.

I loved staying at the forest house. The house and compound were always well kept and clean. It is a nice walkable distance to shops and the town area. Teresiah and Paco were very helpful with reccomendations for good restarants and activities to do, I felt safe and well taken care of. I would definitely love to stay here when I visit Lamu again. Thanks Teresiah and Paco for the wonderful stay.

Great stay in Lamu!! Great place to stay if you want to be in Old Town. The view especially at sunrise was spectacular and great beaches are a short boat ride away. Walking distance to many good restaurants, banks and the museum. Maria was a great host, easy communication and very helpful. I would definitely stay again.

Herbert’s place was beautiful and the rooftop terrace was devine! The breakfast was made to order and absolutely delicious. Katana was very helpful in putting us in contact with people for day trips (although remember to haggle). As two women we didn’t feel safe travelling unaccompanied by a man outside of the house, especially at night. Would recommend, if travelling with a man.

Thrasya is a warm and smiling woman that makes the guest feel at home. She gave good advice. The place of the house is excellent. Close to the sea and the main road where everything is required. Downstairs there is a common courtyard for guests and you can drink coffee and eat there. I will definitely return to you and Alitz too

Teresiah was really friendly and helpful. The house location was also close to the seafront, and it was easy to find my way around - walk to restaurants and shops.

We had a really great stay at Brian’s! Moses, who accommodated our stay, was also very nice and helpful. He helped us arrange day trips and overall it’s a beautiful home. The only thing to be wary of is that the house is next to a mosque which woke us up every morning around 5am. Other than that, would recommend!
