About this house rental
The building owes its name to the small island of Lamu, which is located just a few hundred meters off the mainland of Kenya in the Indian Ocean. Today, the Lamu House presents itself as an overnight accommodation, where regional history, African style of furnishing and modern comfort come together in a charming way.
In the past, the furnishings of the house consisted largely of furniture made directly on the island or on the Kenyan mainland.
What remains are a handmade cabinet and smaller furnishing elements such as cloakrooms, mirrors and curtain rods. In addition, the impressively designed and hand-carved entrance door still hints at the African influences. Doors of this kind are typical of the architecture in the area of the Indian Ocean. The copy in Auerstedt is decorated with organic patterns. Geometric forms and Koranic inscriptions are also common, referring to the Islamic tradition of the island of Lamu.
Long before it was used as a holiday home, the building was used as a community building in Auerstedt. The last community baker had to give up his job in 1965 due to illness. The annual Backhausfest is reminiscent of the craft tradition.

Ein tolles Haus mit allem, was das Herz begehrt.
Ein kleiner Minuspunkt, ich mag es nicht, wenn ich beim Check In um 14.20 Uhr mit den ersten Worten „aber das Haus ist erst ab 15.00 Uhr gebucht und am Abreisetag müssen Sie um 10.00 Uhr raus sein.“ kleiner Tipp: das wir dann trotzdem schon um 14.25 Uhr das Haus betreten durften, würde ich es immer positiv verkaufen. Ah, schön das schon da sind. Ich hoffe Sie hatten eine angenehm Anreise und Ihr Haus ist sogar auch schon bereit. Hört sich für einen professionellen Gastgeber besser an.
Aber am Abreisetag ein sehr gutes Frühstück mit einen diesmal auffallend netten Gastgeberin, hat uns auf jeden Fall wieder versöhnt, falls wir überhaupt verstimmt waren. Vielen Dank

Wir haben uns in diesem Haus sehr wohlgefühlt. Es ist ausreichend Platz für 8 Personen, die Küche geräumig, die Betten komfortabel, die beiden Bäder waren toll. Auch der Service ist hervorragend, ein kleines Problem wurde umgehend behoben. Zudem nahmen wir die Gastronomie des Schloßrestaurants in Anspruch, so daß auch die Wege sehr kurz waren. Die Umgebung lädt zum Wandern und Entdecken ein. Zu Empfehlen!
