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. The property has pool and garden views, and is 1.4 km from Nungwi Beach. There is a restaurant serving African cuisine, and free private parking is available.

Mimi na wewe makes you feel welcomed every moment of your stay! The staff has been extremely kind and ready to help us with anything we needed (from transport to laundry and organizing activities). The breakfast was different every day and so abundant that was enough for lunch too! In just 10/15 minutes we could reach Kendwa Beach by walking, and also ATMs and shops were very close. The room was always perfectly cleaned and the free access to the pool from morning to evening is a huge plus!

Situated in Nungwi, within 500 metres of Supermarket and less than 1 km of East Africa Diving, MITI Beach Bungalows features accommodation with a garden and free WiFi throughout the property as well as free private parking for guests who drive.

After a month of traveling around Africa, this place was our home away from home for two weeks. For an affordable price, we got everything we needed and more. Juma, the receptionist, always greeted us with a smile on his face and was happy to assist with anything we needed in and outside of the hotel. Augustino, the manager, is practically a local and helped us plan our itinerary throughout our stay. Rooms were cleaned and tidied every morning, and laundry services and a restaurant were provided in the hotel. Pool was perfect temperature, and we could even swim at night thanks to beautiful pool lights. The location is a 5 minute walk from the beautiful Nungwi beach, and right next to the local "Cocobello" club. Miti is beautiful, quiet, and intimate, and we are already planning our next trip!

Located in Nungwi, on the quieter north east coast of Zanzibar, Game Fish Lodge is situated along the beachfront and features an in-house restaurant, bar and a sun terrace. Free private parking is offered on site.

The place is very special and therefore might not be right for everyone. I typically don't write reviews, but as the place is so special (and as I just missed a flight ;)) I would like to help directing the right people into the place: Come here if you are looking for: - a very personal experience with your hosts. After a very short time you will rather feel like visiting friends than being at a hotel. - amazing self-cooked food. Breakfast and dinner is also just like friends cooking for you. Collin is an amazing chef. Try his tuna steak. You will get cheaper offers for dinner in local restaurants, but in terms of quality and quantity they can't compete with Collin. Mind that Collin might not cook every night for you (e.g. when rugby is on), so talk early to him when you want to eat at the lodge. - a calm and spacious place in which you can sit directly at the sea in an exclusivity you will not have in all the nearby high-end hotels. You will have a huge property almost for your own. - very nice other guests. People are chilled and it's true what's written in the other reviews. Collin kicks out people who spread negative vibes ;-) - great views and a lonely sandbank. From the sand beach and pool terrace on the rocks right next to the sea and from the terraces of your bungalow you will have amazing views to the sea. Don't come here if you are looking for: - "Zanzibari 5-star service" in which you have a waiter every 5 meters serving you a cocktail and cleaners cleaning your room twice per day. It's just the 2 people owning the place and 1 employee. - A new hotel with a lot of standardization which was just build 1-2 years ago. The place was built over the past 20 years by the owners. Collin used to be in the construction industry himself so everything is built nicely. He does not like edges and standardization, so you will not feel like in a branded hotel. - Sand beaches to swim. Go to the west side of Nungwi.

Frangipani House is located very well. It is close to the main road and not far away from the Nungwi Beach. It is possible to park even two rental cars. The hosts Irina and Georgy are very friendly and helpful. The room I had was spacious. The bed and the restroom were clean. Every day I received a bootle of still water. It's possible to order brekfasts. There's also an outdoor kitchen with a big fridge. It is kept clean. I stayed only for three days but I enjoyed it very much! Asante sana The way from the main road to Frangipani House is bumpy but possible by a crossover or jeep. It's worth renting a car.

    We enjoyed our stay very much at Babalao, with the help of the owners. Max and Elena are really welcoming and helpful from check-in and beyond. The location is great, 5min walk from the beach and close to the village. Nicely decorated with nice street art. The services are great: free coffee and tea or water refill, beach towels provided on demand, access to board and video games, nice beverages and food... We had the chance to have a music and BBQ night and the mood was laid back and joyful. Great stay, feeling at home.
