“I would highly recommend Ttunu House to anyone who loves the charm of the old town but also values a quiet and relaxing”

Ttunu House is truly a hidden gem in the middle of the old town — quiet, peaceful, and yet very conveniently located. The environment is calm despite being in a lively area. The house was extremely clean and well maintained. The staff were very warm, attentive, and always ready to help. They assisted us with grocery shopping, cooking, housekeeping, and even helped coordinate our daily plans, which made our stay very comfortable and stress-free.

“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.

“a true experince to live for a few days in old Lamu Town. It is a very different experience.”

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.

“after Safari and Mount Kenya Trek the perfect option to relax”

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.

“Great family vacation thanks to a beautiful house and an awesome staff!”

Super clean and beautiful house in the heart of Lamu, you are closed to the port and the main street. A few minutes away from the fort. It is super accessible! On top of that the staff is great with a really detailed attention in keeping the rooms tidy every single day and multiple times a day + a chef that cooked us the most delicious dishes + they arrange transport depending on your needs ! The perfect mix to just lay back and enjoy your holidays!

Everything! The art, artifacts and architecture!

After a slight misunderstanding as to the day or arrival, Elizabeth and Cornelius promptly managed to solve the issue and pick us up and have the house ready for us. The staff was always courteous and available to help us. Steven, the cook, cooked wonderful meals as per our requests and we settled all bills directly with him. The swimming pool is marvelous and the terrace is also a wonderful spot when the breeze flows. Highly reccomendable if you prefer to stay in Lamu old Town to explore historic sights, rather than in Shela.
