Free private parking is offered on site. We were welcomed by Leslie and Collin, who are incredibly kind. They are caring, attentive, and warm-hearted. You can trust them they will take great care of you. If you’re planning to stay at Game Fish Lodge, make sure not to book any excursions in advance. Colin, who will take great care of you during your stay, knows exactly how to help you avoid tourist traps and get the best experiences at the right price. He’ll guide you with honesty, give you valuable advice, and make sure everything runs smoothly. His help is truly invaluable. He also checks the weather conditions beforehand to ensure it’s safe to go out on the ocean your safety always comes first.

Situated on a private sand beach overlooking the Indian Ocean, Zanzibar House in Matemwe features a swimming pool and bar. Scuba diving and snorkeling opportunities are also available.

The spacious rooms have views of the palm grove garden or the Indian Ocean, and include terraces with seating areas. Free Wi-Fi is available is all areas. I did a huge amount of research before booking this particular property and we were not disappointed at all. It is NOT like staying in a hotel, it is more like being invited to stay at a family house with friends who have exceptional staff providing for you and them. Maxi and Milia are Italian and their home reflects this, as well as their approach with guests, and we found them to be excellent hosts, who will chat with you and help you any way they can in a way I have never experienced in a 'brand' hotel, ever. One of the reviews I saw suggested that Italian guests were better treated - we are English and were treated wonderfully, by absolutely everyone. Another review said the food service was slow because they were not guests of the property, they are completely missing the point, and the style of Zanzibar. I cannot recommend this property enough. The hosts and staff provide a (much quieter than average) place to stay in Zanzibar where you can do as little as you wish, or as much as you want, because your hosts will gladly organise trips with their drivers and cars like they did for us.
