Description

In 1966, when Lemmy & Wera first visited Shella and laid eyes on the building that would dictate their entire future they were captivated, as many have been since. Within 3 days they had the keys and Peponi was born, starting as a small 4 bedroom guest house. Over 50 years later and a few generations Peponi is still run by the Korschen family, the same ethos and atmosphere remains although it has grown slightly.

The hotel has organically grown to 28 rooms, all our rooms have an ocean view and each are unique in decor and lay out. Guest have a choice of superior or standard rooms; superior rooms are differentiated by their location, size and private outside area with swing bed. All our rooms have ensuite bathrooms, overhead fans inside the mosquito net and personal safes.

    The rooms in this Lamu hotel are soooooo spacious. Its just by the beach. You can sleep while feeling the waves and breeze from the beach. No mosquitoes because of mosquito nest in the dooms. I loved their bathroom. You will enjoy a hot shower heated by solar.No plastics in the hotel. You enjoy water in the room all the time. The mirrors are good. And their food prices are good and friendly. They make the best lamb. One of the best oldest and best hotels in Lamu. The manager is so friendly and attend to the customers

    Peponi Hotel melted my heart!❤❤ As someone who travels quite frequently, no beach hotel has dazzled me quite like this one. Carol the owner was friendly, attentive and pays attention to detail. We felt so free and relaxed here. The food was just amazing, delicious and made to perfection! The staff were out of this world! Kind, accommodating, there to make your stay with them very pleasant. From the moment you land at the airport the ride on the speed boat to the hotel is exhilarating!!! I highly highly recommend the sunset dhow, you can thank me later! I honestly cannot wait to come back to Lamu. This quaint little town has the nicest people I've ever met. I💜Lamu.
