"Pros: The staff and owner are courteous. The care about the well being of the guests. They attend to the needs of the guests. They are quite supportive to suggest and advice what places are good to visit. It's generally a home away from home.
Cons: Some house supplies were not enough." ~Thecla
"Pros: Absolutely wonderful. We fell in love with the apartment, the location and the people - Sonya, Dan, Bill and the girls that served breakfast and cleaned our apartment were so helpful and friendy and continually went the extra mile and genuinely wanted us to have a wonderful holiday and checked that we were comfortable and had everything we needed. They sorted the sim for us and when we forgot something after checking out sent a message to someone in the village to stop our taxi so we could turn round and collect it. The trip they arranged to mnemba Island was brilliant and when a Dhow trip we had arranged went pear shaped arranged another one whilst we were waiting at the beach in nungwi and really saved the day. The apartment and outside area were beautiful and kept spotless, they were very tastefully decorated with lots of reclaimed wood, lovely mature garden full of butterflies. The pool was lovely and warm and kept very clean and we had it to ourselves. We loved the local village with locals saying jambo as we walked through wanting nothing more than to be friendly. We got no hassle at all and the seafood in the local Mzuri restaurant was delicious. Security was great, the security guy turned the outside lights on each evening which was what he must have been doing when another reviewer was suspicious. The dog didn't wee on the patio like one reviewer said and there was no noise from villagers outside at night, just happy sounds of children playing during the day. All in all it was absolutely wonderful, we would return in a heartbeat and were so sad to leave. Don't hesitate in booking this wonderful haven, you won't regret it.
Cons: Having to leave :(" ~Joe-ann
"Pros: The villa was on the beach and had spectacular views of the stunning blue ocean. The pool was lovely and felt private. The staff were amazing. Muhammad, Chiku, Ayka, Timoth and Chef Combo were great and did a fantastic job looking after us and our needs. If you want advice on tours or places to visit, Muhammad can give you advice or even arrange taxis or tours. He was super helpful.
The property had all the kitchen equipment you may need should you want to cook yourself, a fridge freezer, washing machine, a dining table inside and outside. We ate outside on the veranda every evening which was lovely, listening to the waves and watching the day turn to darkness.
Breakfast was included in the stay but we did use Chef Combo for some of our evening meals, which were delicious. Other times we literally went next door to a small restaurant, Bianco Azzuro for our meals where the food and drinks were very nice with great service.
Cons: The property was lovely, clean and felt like home. There isn’t a TV but wasn’t a problem for us as we played games as a family which was much more enjoyable in the evenings.
The property didn’t have an iron, which would’ve been handy as some of our clothes were creased in the suitcase but not a huge problem.
Also the top bedroom could’ve had thicker curtains as the sun rises on that side and is quite bright. But again just down to preference, it’s not a problem as my son slept well even with the brightness." ~Ayesha
"Pros: Great breakfest with local sweet fruits, good local restaurants Mzuri ( recommendation grilled vegetable and avocado salat )
Sona is great lady, staying at your disposal all the time. You can buy even cold beer from her which is very good ( no possible around the village )
Also Daniel is great guy, ready to help you at any question and issue. :- ) ( eg. shopping among the local shops for local prices, not the touristic onces:-)))) )
Cons: Nothing....simply hakuna matata :-))) Only, sometimes the muzzein is noisy at 5:00 but it belongs to the island somehow." ~Jiří
