    The staff was very kind and welcoming. The property is a bliss of calm and peacefulness... You only hear the sounds of the sea, the birds and soft wind in the palm trees. The view on the ocean is stunning.

We offer four spacious, comfortable rooms that can accommodate up to 11 guest with en-suite bathrooms facilities, shared kitchen, a spacious open plan common living room that flows out to a shady porch and our tropical beautiful gardens where guest can take in cool ocean breezes from the comfort of our hammock deck.
Natalia and Michał - we are couple from Poland that some time ago decided to relocate to Zanzibar after we were here on vacation. We fell in love with this place, its habitants, ubiquitous exotic green, culture, hot climate and certainly white beaches and warm, turquoise ocean. We want to share with you a bit of our life here in our beach house and make you feel at home. Our guests are treated as our friends! Our house is warmly open for you and we can't wait to host you here.
An array of activities can be enjoyed on site or in the surroundings: snorkeling, diving, Stone Town sightseeing, spice farm, Jozani Forest, dolphins tour, boat trips. We will be happy to help you in organizing your time and also provide you with any additional services upon request: airport transfer, chef services, car rental&taxi, spa services etc.
