Banana House is
situated in
Shella in Lamu,
about 50 metres
from the sea. It
has a large
walled garden,
with fantastic
views of the
dunes, the sea
and the village.
It is a 4 minute
walking distance
from Peponi
Hotel and in a
quiet area.
 
Banana House
and Banana
Wellness and
Yoga Centre in
Shela Village,
Lamu, comprises
two private
houses which
have evolved
into a friendly
'Bed &
Breakfast'
alternative in
Shela.
 
Rooms and living
areas are, like
all Retreats,
simply and
tastefully
furnished in the
classic Lamu
Swahili style
combining
sumptuous Arabic
elements with
cool, clean
surfaces and
treasures combed
from Lamu's
beaches. You can
either rent a
room, a floor or
the whole house.
On the ground
floor, there are
three (3)
bedrooms, which
can all be
interconnecting
and share two
(2) bathrooms,
making these
ideal for
families with
young children
if required. The
four (4) first
floor bedrooms
are all ensuite,
with hot water
showers, and
lead off the
airy, covered
dining area and
living area with
a sunbathing
deck. The top
floor boasts a
private
penthouse with
double bedroom,
private dining
facilities, and
veranda with
sun-beds which
are equally
ideal for
star-gazing and
moon-bathing
 
Small Banana
House is in the
same garden and
has a lovely
ground floor
apartment (1
bedroom/bathroom
with separate
toilet) and
sleeps
comfortable 2
but it can sleep
4 (using the
living room).
The house has
direct access to
the garden and
has a very
intimate
atmosphere. The
rooftop is also
like an
apartment with 1
bedroom,
terrace, dining,
swing-bed and
the rooftop with
benches to gaze
at the stars.
Both house are
simple decorated
with taste. |
