The Pool House is situated in the old part of Lamu town, a medina of narrow alleyways where many of the grand old stone houses are located, about ten minutes walk from the historical town center.
Through a beautiful antique front door one enters a true oasis of tranquility and fragrant gardens leading to three separate courtyards filled with tropical trees and plants. One of the courtyards contains the freshwater swimming pool from which fresh air cooled by the water floats through a series of interconnecting rooms and living spaces.
Accommodation & Room Types
Pool House is a compound of self-contained buildings, offering a maximum of privacy to its guests. The house has several roof terraces, one of which is partially covered by a thatched roof, has a hammock and swinging bed from which you can enjoy a lovely panoramic view of Lamu and the bay.
It is the perfect spot to enjoy your sundowners and at night, to gaze at the spectacular African starry sky. All living areas are open and airy and designed to catch the cooling breezes. One of the courtyards has a jasmine covered pergola and separate grille area for outdoor dining. At night all courtyards are candle lit for a magical effect.
The Pool House can comfortably accommodate groups of 4 to 6 people and is ideal for two couples or a single family with children. It has also gained a reputation as a romantic honeymoon retreat.
Dining & Staff
A spacious dining room is at the center of the house, seating up to 12 people with rugs and antique furnishings, leading to a veranda overlooking the pool.www.crocodileracers.com
