Makubwa House, hotel in Shela

Boasting air-conditioned accommodation with a private pool, sea view and a terrace, Makubwa House is situated in Lamu.

It was our first time in Lamu and Alejandra and Zion were great hosts, the communication was easy and they were very supportive. The house is beautiful and very authentic, it gives a very unique Lamu experience. It is located in the center of Lamu town, 2 minutes walk from the harbor. The breakfast was made by Zion and it was delicious. Zion was a great help during the two days we spent at the house.

Looking for a holiday home?
Great for families or large parties, holiday homes are privately owned accommodation, available for long or short-term rental. These homes are furnished and equipped with kitchen facilities for self-catering, although breakfast may be offered as an add-on. These properties have their own independent front door, which makes them different to apartments.

    Spacious and beautifully decorated Swahili house. We got upgraded on our arrival and had the huge upstairs room with the biggest bed we’ve ever seen! The balcony and rooftop lounge area were great for relaxing with incredible views. Very clean rooms. Nice breakfast including traditional Swahili foods as an option. The manager Joseph was outstanding - he went out of his way to show us around, finding various places and helping us organise our day. Huge thanks to Joseph for making our stay so enjoyable!

    Shiban house is a great place to stay in Shela. Biggest, most comfortable beds you’ll ever see in a very clean house. Rooms and common areas are very spacious and there’s a great atmosphere to the place. what stands out in Shiban house though are the hosts. Jozef does an amazing job at making you feel at home and helping you around, with an everlasting smile and lightheartedness. 100% recommend staying here.

    The breakfast was great all you have to do is tell the chef what to prepare. There are a few things not available in Lamu like bacon or pork sausages, you can bring them from the main land. Tip: Send an exact shopping list on quantity otherwise there is a lot of wastage. Loved the bonfire very today. The staff were friendly and the place very clean. It was a very unique experience felt like we were living in a tree house. All in all I would book Kisura house again.
