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.

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!

It's possible to order brekfasts. There's also an outdoor kitchen with a big fridge. It is kept clean. I stayed only for three days but I enjoyed it very much! Asante sana The way from the main road to Frangipani House is bumpy but possible by a crossover or jeep. It's worth renting a car.

    Simona and Mustafa are lovely hosts. Super supportive and welcoming. The place is an oasis, we had a wonderful time. Not much of fancy luxury but all you need to come down to earth and forget time. The dogs at the property are very cute and peaceful. It was heartwarming to see how good they are taken care of. Breakfast is really good.

    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.
