Zuzanu house

Nungwi Beach, Nungwi

Featuring a terrace with pool views, pool with a view and a garden, Zuzanu house can be found in Nungwi, close to Nungwi Beach and 1.6 km from Royal Beach. Breakfast is impressive. I normally don’t eat breakfast but I eat as much as I can here only because they are so delicious. Fruits are super fresh and they keep all the breads warm for each person which is very considerate. Location is walking distance to the beach and it’s a quieter beach than other main ones so I really like it.

Chunga Changa

Matemwe

Located in Matemwe, 600 metres from Muyuni Beach, Chunga Changa provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a bar. I can't say enough about this place. My experience was absolutely amazing. Chunga Changa is located in a small quiet road so you can have privacy and peace. The beach is just 10 minutes within walking distance. The room is spacious, clean and well decorated with rustic decors. The host, Sabrina, went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. Definitely try the food there as well as they are affordable and delicious. Totally recommend!

Boutique Villa Unaweza 4 stars

Matemwe

Set in Matemwe and only 60 metres from Matemwe Beach, Boutique Villa Unaweza offers accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking. Villa Unaweza wasn't just a place to stay, it was an experience. It was a home away from home, filled with impeccable hospitality, thoughtful touches(surprised me with the best cake on my birthday), and unforgettable moments. If you're seeking a slice of paradise with a side of genuine human connection, look no further. Sylvia, Aga, Fau, Fridah, Felix and Denge made me feel truly welcomed and cared for.Also... if you're looking for some pampering, do not miss the massage and body scrub...it was the most blissfully indulgent hour of my entire trip!

Karibu House

Paje Beach, Paje

Located in Paje, 200 metres from Paje Beach, Karibu House provides accommodation with a garden, free WiFi, a shared kitchen, and private check-in and check-out. There is not one sentence to sum up my 8 day stay at Karibu house but FABULOUS! My room was modern, spotlessly clean, and even came with a small fridge (which definetely comes in superhandy at 30+ degrees). There is a beautiful garden in the middle, where people can work, eat or just chill. The location is perfect: 5 minute walk from the beach and 3 minute from the main square. Last but not least - the two hosts Vanessa and Cristina were super: professional and there for tips and advice, even since before I arrived helping me arrange the driver to pick me up at the airport. On top of that they are amazing two young women, forthcoming, comunicative and friendly with their guests coming from all over the world. They even organize the weekly BBQ for whoever wants to join, and oh boy, they were such amazing cooks! I think I have eaten there my best meal in Paje out of all :D Karibu provided me a sense of safety and belonging and feeling at home that no other place can compete with and that is most important (since I was a solo female traveller). Needless to say, I will be staying at Karibu whenever I am back in Paje!

Mimi na wewe villa

Nungwi

Set within less than 1 km of Royal Beach and a 16-minute walk of Kendwa Beach, Mimi na wewe villa offers rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Nungwi. My husband and me are highly impressed with the hotel. We stayed for one week and we are grateful for everyone for the hospitality and kindness of the stuff. Daily breakfast was amazing: the cooker cooked those which we want: toast, eggs, vegetables. Also, stuff always took into account our wishes if we ordered food in the hotel. The hotel is located at 500 metres from the beach, but it wasn't a problem because of a great swimming pool in the hotel territory. Our house was also very clean as the stuff cleaned it every day.
