Kizingoni Kusini House

Lamu, Kenya

Kusini House, with its four bedrooms is one of four exclusive and secluded private homes, on the beautiful island of Lamu off the Kenyan coast. It is characterised by exquisite taste and an outstanding setting.

Kusini House, the House of the South Monsoon Wind, has a very distinctive sandcastle style. Like its neighbour, Jahazi House, it is built of coral block plastered in the local neru finish, tinted a soft ochre yellow. However, the inner courtyard is more of a walled garden with two separate en-suite visitors’ rooms in the sea facing corners.

The grassed, frangipani studded courtyard frames a large freshwater swimming pool, with long generous lounging steps to the side, that do not interfere with length swimmers, while providing an ideal haven for the less energetic.

The main house has two large verandas, one overlooking the pool on the ground floor level; the first floor veranda overlooks the pool, the sea and the sunset. Here is the sundowner bar and a splendid master bedroom with two en-suite bathrooms, one with a traditional style wallowing bath. The bedroom has two private balconies, one with a double swinging hammock bed.

Returning to the ground floor level, to one side there is a spacious guest room with twin beds and, again, a private veranda; to the other side a TV/library room - with a large chandeliered hall in the middle giving onto the pool veranda. Symmetry prevails throughout.

A private boat and captain allow you to explore the area’s marine life with ease. A private chef and masseuse are also available to complete the holiday experience.
