It’s aLamu
love story
When Lemmy and Wera Korschen laid eyes on a weathered Arabic-style building right at the water’s edge, they were smitten. Three days later they had the keys and set about opening a four-bedroom guest house. That was in 1967, and today their children and grandchildren continue their legacy with fervour.

On , days are lived according to tides and being in the moment. Activities are the same. Seasonal snorkelling, fishing and a variety of watersports can easily fill your day, followed by a relaxing sunset cruise on a wooden dhow. Do some excellent bird watching on the sand flats and mangrove swamps, indulge in a massage or walk the beautiful beaches.
Peponi Hotel now has 28 gorgeous suites that are spacious and atmospheric – and all with the most magnificent Indian Ocean views. Rooms are in a variety of sizes and categories – as well as family suites and apartments – but all are individually and vibrantly decorated. The palette is white walls and linens, with splashes of tropical colour and Swahili styling which create a fresh, airy ambience. The carved wooden beds are generously draped in mosquito netting, while overhead fans keep the interior comfortably cool when it’s hot outside. Some rooms also have outdoor swinging beds for naps during the heat of the day. There is romance sprinkled throughout.
