About this property

Stay in a beautiful newly built house in Lamu - Arab style. Enjoy exotic pure African feeling, but stay comfortably European. The 3 bedrooms have air conditioning. The house has a solar panel, which instantly starts up during a power failure imperceptibly! No more fret about hour-long power outages, which unfortunately is the order of the day in Diani.

A gardener maintains the large lush tropical garden and swimming pool, a maid takes care of the orderliness and cleanliness and a chef cooks only for you according to your preferences. You just have to buy groceries; your cook can also accompany you. The house is in the secure residential complex Msitu Kwetu, opposite to Kim4love, just 250 metres away from the beach.
Big TV for DVDs, great music system with i-Pod docking station.

Enjoy your holiday!

Lamu style but OLD - needs attention

Property is Lamu style but needs updating. Representation on the web page is not accurate. Plenty of issues with amenities and moved out after a few days. Responses inadequate. Booked for 7 days – Thu 15th Feb 2024 to 22nd Feb. However, after the weekend decided we couldn’t stay when the management company started making excuses. Maintenance was called a few times to fix lights and check out TV etc. Biggest problem was that the housekeeper (Monicah) was also the CHEF. However, she only works 6am to 5pm. We had to negotiate her staying late to 6:30 pm to prepare evening meals. She only works to 12:00 noon on Saturday and not on Sunday. It is commendable that Monicah can prepare food in this poor quality kitchen. Found below issue during stay. 1. The pool had an issue and couldn’t use for first 2-3 days. Problem was fixed but little communication. 2. No AC in lounge. Next to kitchen and gets very warm with just a ceiling fan. Too warm to sit there or eat a meal. AC in bedrooms. 3. 3 bedrooms advertised as part ensuite - Not the case. Separate bathroom for two. 4. There is no HOT TUB as advertised. 5. Satellite/Cable TV was not available. Only You Tube after fiddling? Small TV as larger one had obviously broken. 6. No Stereo or Music library. 7. Listed as Beach just 250 yards – good 10 to 15 minutes walk. Isolated area. 8. Everything was OLD. Microwave just worked with perseverance. 9. Kitchen utensils/pots/pans etc very old – just about usable. All need replacing.

Sehr schöner Urlaubsort

Wir wurden sehr herzlich und freundlich von Monica empfangen. Sie hat uns in das Haus eingewiesen. Anschließend ist sie sofort los, um für uns ein ordentliches Frühstück einzukaufen. Das Lamu Haus ist sehr schön, allerdings innen etwas dunkel. Monica hat jeden Tag die Betten gemacht und aufgeräumt und an jedem zweiten Tag die Betten frisch bezogen. Sie ist eine fantastische Köchin und versteht es gut mit dem Geld zu Haushalten. Garten und Pool werden von Roger gepflegt. Hier ist jedoch anzumerken, dass der Pool nicht täglich gereinigt wird und die Sonnenliegen und Sonnenschirme schon deutlich bessere Zeiten gehabt haben. Der Weg zum Strand beträgt mindestens 700 m und nicht wie in der Beschreibung angegeben 250 m. Zuletzt ist noch anzumerken, dass das Haus in der Einflugschneise des kleinen Flughafens liegt. Allerdings kommen die Flieger immer erst am Nachmittag. Uns hat es im Lamu Haus sehr gut gefallen und wir haben dort fünf schöne Wochen verbracht.

Little piece of paradise

We arrived one day early. My mistake because I didn't check the dates. Monicah was at the house, contacted the owner and told us we could stay. Nothing was to much or a problem for them. The house was very clean, the rooms all had airco, the garden was well kept and the private pool was always clean. Every morning we had for breakfast what we wanted: pancakes, toast, eggs, everything was possible. Diner was always the best. Monicah is an absolute gem. Next time in kenya we will absolutely look foor renting this house.

Great time

The house needs painting inside, people hit the walls with things just doesn’t look great. Could use new bedding for sure, all bedding was clean just a little thin.Furnishings was ok not the most comfortable but everything was ok. The grounds are fantastic Robert kept the yard tidy and the pool very clean. We spent 10 day and had a great time. Our chief Monicah was fabulous she she made everything we asked for. Over all I would stay here again. The thing I mentioned paint and bedding would not keep me from going back. The owner was great when I messaged her she got right back to me. I did give a 5 star rating because the place was fantastic. Hope to visit again some day. Thank Linda L. & Cindy B.
