It’s very close to the airport so great the night before a flight. It’s in a secluded area but very nice rooms. Staff are great and help you find the location and book a taxi at the right time.

Nice. Great welcome, fantastic breakfast, great conversations, and it's important to keep Mom's house! Wishing your family prosperity and health. A perfect option near Stonetown on the way to the spice farms and Nungwi! We didn't make a mistake and didn't overpay for a similar level of comfort in Stonetown.

For the price this place was really great. It was a little hard to find but they reach out and give you contact details ahead of time. Its in a really central location but still quiet. Place was very clean and room was large. Had a shared bathroom which was cleaned often. Was only slightly more than a hostel but definitely a step up
