Featuring a garden and views of city, Light of Zanzibar Hotel is a recently renovated bed and breakfast located in Nungwi, 200 metres from Nungwi Beach. Boasting a 24-hour front desk, this property also provides guests with PS4. Guests can make use of the sun terrace or the picnic area, or enjoy views of the garden and inner courtyard. The whole thing is perfect. In the first few days, I was sick and uncomfortable during my physiological period. The hotel staff cared about me very much, insisted on sending breakfast to my room, and bought medicine for me for free. I care about my health and happiness every day. After I recovered, I booked a trip for me and found a great dance for me. Everything is perfect and everyone is fine. I will come again ~

Featuring a terrace with pool views, pool with a view and a garden, Zuzanu house can be found in Nungwi, close to Nungwi Beach and 43 km from Kichwele Forest Reserve. The property features inner courtyard views and is 45 km from Cheetah's Rock and 48 km from Mangapwani Coral Cave. Each room comes with a balcony with views of the garden. Care for detail, and for the customer's needs, from the rechargeable bulb, as the light goes out at 7.10pm, and for 5 minutes. Earplugs, because of the call to prayer from the Mosque. The breakfast wasn't huge, but it had everything I needed, and was served with care and affection, with a different detail every day.
