Enjoy the elegance and authenticity of antique furniture, admire the high carved teak front door, or niches and hand-carved friezes that adorn every room. Woven carpets, old chests, unique items from some of antique dealers in, Mombasa, Nairobi and Lamu, all elegantly furnish a refined interior from where one experiences a very real serenity.

Outside in the garden, palm trees, ilangs ylang, frangipani and bougainvillea bring a final touch of vibrant, fluttering, color and fragrance.

To get to Lamu, you can fly from Nairobi, Mombasa or Diani. Alternatively, you can drive to Malindi and fly from there to Lamu. It is also possible to visit by land although it is a bumpy seven hour drive from Mombasa and at least four hours from Malindi. At Mokowe jetty a boat will pick you and bring you to Shella.
