Located in Lamu, 200 metres from 18th Century Swahili House Museum, Ttunu House offers accommodation with free WiFi, a terrace or a balcony and access to a garden and a year-round outdoor pool. Housed in a building dating from 18th century, this villa is 600 metres from the Riyadha Mosque. The accommodation provides luggage storage space, private check-in and check-out and organising tours for guests. 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.
