    Everything was very romantic, just like in my youth, when I dreamed of hippie camps. The hosts were welcoming and ready to help with anything or offer advice. The owner personally drove us to the airport in his own car. Highly recommended.

    The staff is always ready to help you. The facilities are amazing, very close to the river and you can feel closer to nature with chill vibes, but not far from the city. The breakfast was amazing and the dog is a good friend. Everything for a good...

    It's a cool place to stay in Arusha when you are a little bit on budget. The host is very helpful, friendly and can also help you to organize safaris, trips to mountains. With a Tuk Tuk it takes you maybe 15 to the centre.
