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. Light of Zanzibar Hotel is located just a 2-5 minutes walk from the stunning Nungwi Beach (depending if you go through the town or straight to the beach). It has everything you might need, comfortable beds, hot water, mosquito nets and AC. There is a fridge outside your room which you share with the two other rooms on your floor to keep your water nice and cold. Paul and all the other staff are absolutely wonderful, kind and very helpful, just ask if you need anything, they will definitely do all they can to help you out. The served breakfast is always delicious, it varies a little every day so you never eat the same thing. Once we had to take our breakfast an hour early and everyone was so nice that we left with satisfied stomachs. If were ever back to Zanzibar, we’ll stay here 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. Breakfast is impressive. I normally don’t eat breakfast but I eat as much as I can here only because they are so delicious. Fruits are super fresh and they keep all the breads warm for each person which is very considerate. Location is walking distance to the beach and it’s a quieter beach than other main ones so I really like it.
