Asked most often
Check-in and check-out times, what breakfast includes, how far the beach really is, how to get here from the airport, and how payment works.
What are the check-in and check-out times?
Check-in is between 1:00 pm and 2:00 pm; check-out between 10:00 am and 11:00 am. If your flight lands awkwardly, tell us in advance and we will do what we can with luggage storage.
Is breakfast included?
Yes — a continental breakfast is served every morning and is included in most rates. Guests tend to single it out as unusually generous for a hotel this size.
How far is the beach?
Kendwa Beach is 650 metres away, about eight minutes on foot down the lane. We also have a private beach area. If you would rather not walk, we can arrange transport.
Is there a restaurant?
Not a full à la carte restaurant. Breakfast is served daily under the thatch, there is a bar and a pool bar, and the kitchen offers room service — you can order food and eat it at your table or in your room. Several good beach restaurants are within a ten-minute walk.
Can you collect us from the airport?
Yes. We run an airport shuttle — send your flight number when you book. The drive from Abeid Amani Karume International Airport takes roughly an hour and a quarter.
Is there a swimming pool?
There is an outdoor pool in the courtyard, with loungers, a garden around it and a pool bar alongside.
How do we pay?
Bookings made here are confirmed by bank transfer. You will see the account details and your booking reference as soon as you book, and the room is held while the transfer clears. Cash is also accepted at the property.
Are children welcome?
Children of all ages are welcome. Please note that children aged three and over are charged as adults, and that we cannot provide cots or extra beds — so do include everyone in your group when you search for rooms.
Can we bring a pet?
We are sorry — pets are not allowed.
Do you host parties or events?
No. Parties and events are not permitted, and we do not accommodate stag or hen groups. The quiet is rather the point of staying here.
Is there parking and WiFi?
Both, and both free. Parking is private and on site; the WiFi covers the whole property and our guests rate it 10 out of 10.
How do we get here from the airport?
Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (ZNZ) is about 60 km away, roughly an hour and a quarter by road. Stone Town is about an hour, and Nungwi 2.7 km up the coast.
