I loved everything about this place !! The owner and the staff were extremely welcoming and helpful during my staying. The breakfast was really nice and fresh, the room was clean and comfortable with lots of space and it is a quiet and peaceful environment. The location is perfect, it’s a 5 minute walk from the beach and 30 min from the main Nungwi beach, but I did not mind walking at all because the neighborhood is really friendly with lots of shops.

    Nadya is great host who gave some really awesome recommendations (from restaurants to going to a secret sand bank), and all of them were top rated. MaNa is a super quiet place, just 2 mins walk from the beach, and about 15 mins walk (on the beach) from the busy part of Nungwi beach. Great food options everywhere nearby. And the place is super clean, lots of care gone into it.

    charming, quiet villa on the east side of Nungwi. with a large garden and a space with a pool table. Very nice for those who want seek a location in Nungwi and still very close to the beach. I rented the room with private bathroom which is very spacious as well as the bathroom. The breakfast is local and includes fruits, chapati, eggs, coffee and tea. Mike the host is very accommodating. But the most interesting point remains the unbeatable value for money on Nungwi.

    I enjoyed my stay very much ❤️ the accomodation is just in perfect location! It is in the middle of Nungwi, so you can go more on west to enjoy more turistic but beautiful beaches, or more on east for more calm, local beach experience. Or you can just swim on the beach which is like 3 minutes from guest house 🙂 It is in very calm area, no noise from Nungwi parties 🙏 and Kosta is just great host! Easy to talk and he cares for his guests very much! Hakuna matata! 🙂 During my stay I felt like a family member ☺️ Thank you once again! ❤️

    This place is a few steps away from the best beach in Zanzibar. Perfect location for a place that's not a beachfront. It is also located right next to the city center so there are restaurants, mini markets, bars and other shops everywhere within walking distance. Great hosts
