Best place in town. We had such a great time. Arnold is so helpful and you can ask him everything. He has the best tips , what to do. The breakfast is really good and Fred is such a lovely person. Its in the middle of the town you can reach everything by walking. Should we come again to Kenya we would stay there again. Thanks for everything

We weren't sure where to stay in Shela with all of the incredible options, so decided to listen to the reviews combined with the price point and pick this place. We were so pleased with our stay: beds are v comfortable, the multi-storied building allows nice breeze in, the terrace is an absolute dream. The breakfast was so good with fresh fruit, pastries, bread, banana pancakes, and swahili tea. We were looking at the island's more expensive offers and don't feel that we missed out at all. This felt like the perfect mix of affordability, comfort, and relaxation. It was also so much more peaceful than would have been directly on the beach. They clean everything daily so it's sparkiling. It's incredibly comfortable.

The locations is a gem. Away from the HUSTLE AND BUSTLE OF LAMU. There is a great restaurant next door With delicious food and you can always pop over to Sheila (5 min boat ride) for some activity if you feel too quiet on the island 🏝️ 👍

very amazing surroundings feels fresh, safe and serene room was upgraded to a glass lodge with a nice view and flowers planted so you get a nice view of the Mara in the distance but also fresh flowers right next to the window food was amazing, kitchen team and Chef Patrick offered us a private dinner for our group of 4; excellent food, wonderful experience. The other Masai staff performed on both nights for bout our group and others they also have a bonfire burning every night so you can get lovely time by the fire an opportunity to enjoy the starry night and also meet other guests Staff walk with you if it’s late around the camp so you always feel safe
