The air-conditioned accommodation is 2.7 km from Kendwa Beach. The bed and breakfast features family rooms. 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

All units come with a terrace with sea views, a fully equipped kitchen with a fridge and a stovetop, and a private bathroom with walk-in shower. All units are air conditioned and include a seating and/or dining area. At the villa complex, all units have bed linen and towels. 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!

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).
