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.

A small paradise oasis with 11 beautiful rooms located around a perfectly sized swimming pool. The hotel feels like brand new and is very well maintained. You can almost feel the owners' love for their hotel. WiFi is good. The water pressure in the showerroom is very good, and amazingly hot water is coming from your private heater. The pool and garden area are so comfortable that you almost forget that you are not alone in this world. There is a small restaurant/bar with a short menu if you feel to stay in. The host and staff are amazing. If you have requests, they are following you up immediately (not as in many hotels, where they smile and say yes, but nothing actually happens).

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!

This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. Kichwele Forest Reserve is 42 km from the bed and breakfast and Mangapwani Coral Cave is 47 km away.

The pineapple house was my home far away from home for over a month. The owner is such a nice person who was always ready to help. I felt very comfortable and left with a heavy heart at the end. The breakfast was great, fresh fruit every day, freshly squeezed juice and I even got some special gluten-free breakfast - and that's not so easy on the island. I can warmly recommend the pineapple house as the staff is super friendly, the rooms are nice and it’s close to the beach.

The beautiful place is located in a perfect location - very close to Royal Beach, Masai market and the main road in which you can find shops for everything you need. The host is just an amazing person, a great, warm, and welcoming host. When we arrived, she welcomed us with a post card and flower decorations to celebrate our honeymoon, and also gave us a generous plate of delicious fruits. She took care of every need that we had, on a daily basis. Laundry, kitchen, local recommendations and transfer, places to travel and to buy things like alcohol, SIM card, even Barbershop. They even go to a distant shop to buy a new fan, in addition to the one in the ceiling, because we came in unusually hot weather and I'm very sensitive about hit. Housekeeping, every day, with colorful flowers and cleaning, which was very nice. The rooms are in the middle of a big, colorful and beautiful garden, which also has some nice spots to sit and relax. The whole place is very quiet and safe. No doubt we will come again.

The access to the beach was superb and the pool area was very welcoming. The location away from the larger resorts suited the holiday we were after, and it was easy to walk or drive to the village as needed. We will definitely recommend to others to stay here!

    First thing is first: Paul (the receptionist) was the best host we ever had, anywhere. The amount of care and comfort he provided was invaluable. Rooms were nice, AC working all the time was needed and power outages were really short and unnoticeable. The shortcut to the beach was about 100m, and the village life was booming. Thanks LightOfZanzibar, but greatest thank to Paul, for a lot of things and being so forthcoming for our needs. Neša & Red
