Shiban House

Shela

Located in Shela, near Manda Beach and Mnarani House, Shiban House is a recently renovated property, featuring free WiFi, a fitness centre and terrace. The homestay features family rooms.

At the homestay, all units are equipped with a private bathroom. Joseph and Mpanzi were very lovely and took good care of me. I enjoyed chatting with them and really felt like I had made new friends by the time I left. The house is large and clean and is well located in Shela. A very comfortable base to explore Lamu and its delights.
