Peponi house a small hotel on the exotic island of Lamu, in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Kenya. This 24 room hotel house is run by the Korschen family since 1967 and still retains much of the character and charm that it had then. Small and personal, it is the perfect rest after a safari or a hide away holiday from modern life.
Situated at one end of the spectacular twelve kilometre Shela Beach o n the Indian Ocean and flanked by ancient sand dunes, the beach is one of the few remaining untouched, empty stretches of coastline in Kenya. White sands, excellent swimming and an idyllic setting for a walk at dawn or sunset.
Peponi House has only 24 rooms, which are divided into superior and standard rooms,all with an ocean views. Superior rooms are differentiated by their location, size and private outside area with swing bed. All rooms have overhead fans, mosquito nets, showers (no baths), fresh flowers, and personal safes.
Peponi’s legendary bar is a favourite watering hole for guests and Shela village inhabitants alike, with "its nexus of entertainment, its fountain of gossip". The bar is run by Charles, who will whip up our famous house cocktail "Old Pal" in an instant or pour a fresh juice or cold beer.
