The rooms are beautiful and comfortables, details oriented.

Located in Nungwi, on the quieter north east coast of Zanzibar, Game Fish Lodge is situated along the beachfront and features an in-house restaurant, bar and a sun terrace. Free private parking is offered on site. We stayed in the "Apartment with Sea View". It felt like we had our own place on the beach, but with 2 people, Colin and Lesley, who cooked us excellent breakfasts and dinners. We loved the fruit crepes. The meals were not only delicious, but. so large we always had left overs for lunch The balcony apartment is quite large and has an am,azing pato with spectacular ocean view. The pool is deep and overlooks the ocean. We had it nearly to ourselves. There is a fridge near ,the pool with beer and soft drinks at very reasonable prices. If you wish a more lively place for drinks, you can go into town or next door to the Skybar. There is direct access to the ocean and while there are sea urchins, I swan in the ocean all 3 days I was there, but made sure I was wearing wster shoes. Some days we walked along the beach several kilometers. Colin and Lesley left us yo ourselves, except during breakfsst and dinner. They were grest hosts.

It’s a very quiet location with not too many people on the beach with very few locals hassling you to buy stuff or go on trips. The accommodation is very rustic and gives a real Island feel. The staff are amazing. Every single one of them were very friendly and helpful.
A lively, clean, cosy place right in the middle of a busy maze of tiny streets in the heart of Stone town Close to the harbour, ferry and boat services. Close to Mercury restaurant. Lovely hosts, Gertrude and her female staff. Very positive vibe and helpful tips. You can request simple snacks if needed.
The hotel is right on the beach! There are locals on the beach that try to sell you stuff but they don’t come up too close to where the sun loungers are so you can still relax. The food was amazing and the staff were great!
Location is good, not on the main beach but only a short walk to it. The beach directly in front of the hotel is main where locals park their boats. We stayed in 3 hotels between Kendwa and Nungwi beach. This was the best value for money hotel. It’s not expensive and the hotel reflected that but we’re not mad about this at all.
Great boutique hotel! Small, comfortable, great hosts and good foods. What more can you ask for?
I loved the outdoor area. The sand throughout was cool and the pool is lovely as well as the bar and restaurant area. I like that you can walk out on the beach but locals will wait by the steps and you do get hassled a lot, especially if you’re a girl which gets so tiring! The food was really good and the bbq night is so cute. Staff were friendly, some over friendly, asking me out for drinks which made me uncomfortable as a solo traveller
Beautuful island! It's worth the money because they value the environment and they teach the locals how to take care of the land, the sea, the animals and the planet. Very good and sympathetic. And apart from that: you have a wonderful time yourself! Friendly and helpfull staff, good food, nice walks and nice snorkeling!
Leafy home stay environment close to the beach and little local shops. Spacious property boasting a yoga Shala and lots of relaxing places to chill. Locals outside are quite persistent about trying to sell you something. Good experience on Nungwi.
Beautifully designed and maintained boutique hotel; feels like a sophisticated private home. Wonderful host. To give an example of the level of service, my suitcase had been damaged during transit. The hotel was able to fix it and return it to me within 30 minutes of arrival. Exceptional!
