The staff and the owner, Monika, were wonderful!! I stayed for one night before joing a group at another location and loved the grounds and the friendly and helpful staff. The food was delicous (both breakfast and dinner)! I didn't partake of the yoga due to timing, but I definitely would plan on it if I stayed again. I actually checked in for my last 2 nights on Lamu and was under the weather. Monika made sure I had a special dawa (a delicious chai tea) and the sweet staff took such good care of me. I loved it there.

Alejandra was an amazing host. Very responsive and helpful with what we needed in Lamu Town. I love that there is air conditioning in the room considering Lamu is very hot/humid. Overall the views were breathtaking. 10/10

This place never disappoints. This was my second time staying here and it still exceeded my expectations.
The flat I stayed in was spacious and thoughtfully designed with some artful collections of antique Swahili style furniture. There was access to a private fully equipped kitchenette with an adjacent outdoor dining/ lounging area. The room was airy and well ventilated and also had a very spacious bathroom that had great shower pressure!
Joshua is an exceptional host, responsive, warm and welcoming and very attentive. He has even made provisions for Solar lights in case of power outages which were infrequent during my stay and only lasted a few minutes at a time.
The Wilderbeeste provides all the comforts and necessities of a home away from home yet its quirky and historical design provides a sense of adventure and novelty needed for a retreat!
Can't wait to return for a longer stay!

Mellisa was very helpful, giving us local contacts to make our stay easier and more relaxing. The apartment was spacious and comfortable and had everything we needed. It was within walking distance to both the village and the beach. The locals were also very friendly and helpful.
