Zanzibar City is 41 km from Nyumbani Residence Apartments, while Kiwengwa is 41 km away. We had an amazing stay at Nyumbani residence with my husband and kids. The place is a perfect gate away for families as the apartments are full catered with all you need. Breakfast is really yummy and it’s served every morning at your terrace. Location for us was great as it’s only 5 minutes away from the beach and the local shops. Thank you very much Paola & staff for taking care of us and provide us with an excellent service. I highly recommend!

There is a private entrance at the apartment for the convenience of those who stay. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a terrace. Here's the rev We spent a week in August at Liza's place, and it was absolutely wonderful. After spending 5 weeks on the island, we can confidently say that this is the best option in the south of Zanzibar. In fact, we enjoyed it so much that we rented it again for another week after staying in the north. Liza is incredibly attentive, proactive, and very friendly. The house is unbeatable: spacious, clean, and perfectly located just a few steps from Jambiani beach. It's a quiet environment, perfect for a well-deserved vacation. Both the bedroom and the bathroom, as well as the kitchen, are fantastic—we felt right at home with privacy and comfort. The bed is large and comfortable, there’s plenty of space for clothes, and we had a cozy private balcony with a chill area to relax.The bathroom is spacious with great ventilation and plenty of hot water. Laundry machine, a owerful fan and AC its always a must and everything worked perfectly! We are thrilled with our stay! I would 100% recommend it and will definitely return!

Just Heaven Apartments

Matemwe

A recently renovated aparthotel in Matemwe and within a few steps of Matemwe Beach, Just Heaven Apartments has a private beach area, comfortable allergy-free rooms and free WiFi. Boasting a 24-hour front desk, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. There is free private parking and the property features paid airport shuttle service. Location is amazing, views of sunrise on the beach are spectacular. Pictures of the room were accurate. Staff are wonderful, someone checked each day that we had everything that we need. The place has high-end finishes and everything you need in the kitchen. Yes, the building is under construction, but the room is complete enough to be comfortable with no problems. There are a few finishing touches in progress, but our stay was very comfortable and quite lovely. Added bonus, there's an excellent Padi-certified dive shop (Kibwana) right next door, my husband did four dives and I snorkeled. They had great gear and took good care of us while in the water. Right on the other side is an excellent local restaurant, ChiChi, and another restaurant two doors down that was also very good (Hebe Bungalow). If you plan on using the kitchen, I would suggest buying supplies on the way as there are limited groceries within walking distance. Otherwise you need to take a taxi to the store. That said, the staff made it clear they would arrange anything we needed during our stay. When they offer to arrange a taxi to get you to the property, I would recommend accepting. Other taxi drivers do have a difficult time finding the right spot, and they won't be any cheaper.
