Olamanga Beach Villa

Jambiani Beach, Jambiani

All units come with a terrace with pool views, a fully equipped kitchen with a toaster and a fridge, and a private bathroom with walk-in shower. A balcony with an outdoor dining area and garden views is offered in each unit. At the guest house, each unit is fitted with bed linen and towels. I love everything about the property, very close to the village where you can find supermarket, restaurants, and any other kind of tour that I was looking for. 1min walking to the beach , not packed beach and with very chilled vibes, perfect for couples and families. The rooms are beautiful and comfortables, details oriented. Pool just for us anytime we wanted , and the fact that they don’t do the cleaning everyday for the climate impact we found it very ecological and nice, something that we appreciate.

MITI Beach Bungalows

Nungwi

Situated in Nungwi, within 500 metres of Supermarket and less than 1 km of East Africa Diving, MITI Beach Bungalows features accommodation with a garden and free WiFi throughout the property as well as free private parking for guests who drive.

At the guest house, rooms include a wardrobe. Featuring a private bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer, rooms at MITI Beach Bungalows also boast a garden view. After a month of traveling around Africa, this place was our home away from home for two weeks. For an affordable price, we got everything we needed and more. Juma, the receptionist, always greeted us with a smile on his face and was happy to assist with anything we needed in and outside of the hotel. Augustino, the manager, is practically a local and helped us plan our itinerary throughout our stay. Rooms were cleaned and tidied every morning, and laundry services and a restaurant were provided in the hotel. Pool was perfect temperature, and we could even swim at night thanks to beautiful pool lights. The location is a 5 minute walk from the beautiful Nungwi beach, and right next to the local "Cocobello" club. Miti is beautiful, quiet, and intimate, and we are already planning our next trip!
