The location of our hotel was beautiful, it was quiet so was perfect for my honeymoon. I liked how the hotel is located in a village and seeings locals outside and activities to do and stuff to buy. My room had all the facilities we needed and AC/fan was good. Staff attended to our needs and looked after us well. I like the view from sitting at the top when we had our breakfast lovely view from the beach side. The pool was nice too and because it was quiet we still had our privacy.
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?
Very hospitable, great host. The property is right next to the beach, where you can find nice restaurants. Beds are comfortable, room clean, bathroom looks great. Amazing breakfasts with local fruits, bread, fresh juice, eggs and sweets. Highly recommend staying with Zuzanu!
Everything was excellent from the moment we walked in. Staff were welcoming and sweet. The place was not crowded. We felt as if we owned the resort. The locals were also good to us and showed us around. We are definitely coming back.
Fantastic and very welcoming small property with a limited number of rooms. A great feel of safety and privacy. A few steps away from the beach. Place is run by very attentive hosts, helpful and I think sincerely caring. Amazing breakfast prepared by the hosts and taken at shared tables by the kitchen. Endless supply of fruits, homemade jams, and many goodies. Feel like being welcome in a private home. Nicely equipped rooms with all that’s needed.
