Our guesthouse is a charming and peaceful retreat, perfect for those looking to relax and unwind. Nestled in a tranquil setting, it offers a quiet atmosphere where you can truly escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. One of its standout features is the refreshing breeze that flows through, creating a cool and calming environment. This makes it an ideal place to sit back, read a book, or simply enjoy the serene surroundings. The charm of the guesthouse lies not only in its simplicity but also in its warm and inviting ambiance, designed to make every guest feel at home. Whether you’re here for a short stay or a longer vacation, our guesthouse provides a cozy and comfortable space that blends relaxation with a touch of elegance. We take pride in ensuring every guest enjoys their time with us, leaving with wonderful memories of their stay.
My name is Saumu, and my husband’s name is Khamis. Together, we are the proud owners of this guesthouse. While I primarily work online, my husband is always at the guesthouse, ensuring everything runs smoothly and that our guests are happy and well taken care of. Khamis is a charming Zanzibari with a warm smile and a helpful nature. He is dedicated to solving any issues and making your stay as comfortable as possible. With years of experience as a taxi driver, he knows the island inside and out. His local knowledge allows him to assist you in arranging affordable and personalized tours, ensuring you experience the best that Zanzibar has to offer. When you stay at our guesthouse, we are here to help with all your needs and provide you with a memorable and stress-free visit to Zanzibar.
Our guesthouse is conveniently located near Riu Jambo, making it close to everything you need. Shops, supermarkets, and the beach are all just a short distance away, with the beach only a 7-minute walk from the property. Situated between Nungwi and Kendwa, our location offers easy access to both areas, allowing you to explore and enjoy the best of Zanzibar. It's the perfect spot for a relaxing and convenient stay.
