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. Zuzanu has an amazing place, it’s clean, spacious, well designed and with a great location in a safe and charming village very close to the beach. It has many of the missing elements from other places we stayed in Zanzibar: spacious balcony and bathroom, laundry line, wardrobe and a desk. Her breakfast is exceptional: fresh fruit (hand picked by herself in the market), chappati, bread and porridge from the village, pancakes, fresh juice, toast and eggs. She offered us extra baked goods at our request. We stayed there 3 nights and the breakfast varied slightly every day, it gave us energy for a few hours. Zuzana was very friendly and kind. Her business has been opened for almost 3 years. It’s a gem in Nungwi!

Great water pressure (which is not always the case in the island). Delicious breakfast (I loved the avocado toasts). Only 1 minute away from the beach with nice bars / restaurants around. Also a lot of delicious local restaurants in the village only 10 minutes away by walk. The staff is really friendly and welcoming and helpful.
