The spacious villa is equipped with 4 bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher and an oven, and 4 bathrooms with a shower, free toiletries and a washing machine. Guests can take in the views of the sea from the patio, which also has outdoor furniture. For added privacy, the accommodation features a private entrance. 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.

This villa is fitted with 4 bedrooms, a kitchen with an oven and a microwave, a flat-screen TV, a seating area and 5 bathrooms equipped with a walk-in shower. Towels and bed linen are featured in the villa. The property offers pool views. The house is wonderful, spacious, luxury and quiet. Bassam is a great host and the staff are excellent too. We had a great time exploring from here or just enjoying doing nothing much at all. It is a bit outside Shela, but not that far and a nice village walk.

Free WiFi is accessible to all guests, while some rooms also feature a terrace. At the apartment complex, every unit includes bed linen and towels. The air conditioning in the bedroom was fantastic. It was a huge bedroom with closet space, lots of room to put your stuff, and a large ensuite bathroom. The location was great, right on the waterfront, close to water taxis, etc. The staff were so friendly and were always there if you needed them. After check out, they called to inform us we left a few things in the room, we left them on purpose, but it was nice to get a follow-up call.
