Das Haus ist sehr geschmackvoll - spartanisch ausgestattet, was dem Ort Lamu gerecht wird. Es verfügt über einen eigenen Koch und einen Housekeeper die sich vorbildlich um das Wohl der Gäste kümmern.

Lamu ist zu 90% muslimisch. Man sollte nicht unbedingt in der Zeit des Ramadan dorthin reisen, da die Dauerbeschallung der zahlreichen Muezzins von eine Vielzahl von Moscheen gerade nachts sehr stören kann. Lamu selbst ist sehr dreckig und bedauerlicherweise fehlt es der lokalem Bevölkerung an Empathie gegenüber dem Umgang mit dem Weltkulturerbe. Jedoch haben es vor allem Leute von weit außerhalb verstanden, in Lamu Refugien zu errichten, die Tradition und Zeitgeist zusammen bringen. Das Haus ist ein gutes Beispiel dafür.

Beautiful stay at Ttunu House!

The whole house is incredible. The photos don’t do it justice online. It is a little paradise in Lamu town. The staff were incredible - Stephen’s cooking was delicious and they were attentive while still giving us tons of space. We absolutely loved our whole experience and stay.

great service from Anton and Steve the chief. Elizabeth who manages the property met us and checked and us out. She sorted private yoga and guides for us and was very nice to us. I will just caution that the bedrooms have fans but it was still very hot at night and made sleeping a bit tough but i have bit of a sleep problem and it was about the hottest time of the year to go. The pool is wonderful for a town house and the top roof terrace is very breezy and great to have dinner. Steven is a great chief and Anton took us to where we wanted to go and very keen to help the guests.

yes the heat at night as above.

We stayed at Ttunu House in January 2025, and it was simply incredible! The house is beautiful, lovingly restored, and tastefully furnished. There is truly not a single thing to complain about! The Ttunu House team—Cornelius, Stephen, and Jackson—did everything to make our stay perfect and unforgettable. Stephen cooks whatever guests desire, with only the cost of groceries charged, while the service itself is included. Upon request, we had the best tuna steaks of our lives, served with grilled vegetables and Kachumbari (a Kenyan tomato salad). For those looking for an extraordinary vacation far from tourist hotspots but without sacrificing luxury, Ttunu House is the perfect choice! We would love to come back.
