Boasting a balcony with pool views, water sports facilities and an outdoor swimming pool, Boutique Villa Unaweza can be found in Matemwe, close to Matemwe Beach and 2.7 km from Pwani Mchangani Beach. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available.

Villa Unaweza wasn't just a place to stay, it was an experience. It was a home away from home, filled with impeccable hospitality, thoughtful touches(surprised me with the best cake on my birthday), and unforgettable moments. If you're seeking a slice of paradise with a side of genuine human connection, look no further. Sylvia, Aga, Fau, Fridah, Felix and Denge made me feel truly welcomed and cared for.Also... if you're looking for some pampering, do not miss the massage and body scrub...it was the most blissfully indulgent hour of my entire trip!

Excellent food cooked at the requested time! 1/2h from Kendwa and Nungwi beach ($80 a van for the group of 8 whole day). Walk along the beach when ties are low to Matemwe Rock, when local people are catching seafood. The Villa is isolated and exclusive.

Absolutely exceptional property and location, with wonderful friendly staff and everything perfectly maintained. The only (very minor) comment I would have is that the food could have been a bit more imaginative...but it's still excellent value for money.

    Super friendly and helpful staff. All of them - after the first day you are going to feeling like loved family member :) Beautiful and well maintained garden with cute bungalows - comfortable and just a second from the spectacular Beach! Very good food - from breakfasts to All that restaurant has to offer. Especially seafood salad, my personal favourite. And last - awesome drinks! Try Zanzibar Dawa or Kinky Margeritas!

    Everything about Mohammed Bungalows was great. Location in the wonderful setting of Matemwe right on the beach, room which was specious and had everything we needed, vicinity to scuba diving sites and water based activities such as paddling and snorkelling. But most of all the staff and Mohammed’s family who were so welcoming and made us feel really at home. Not to mention that Mohammed is a fantastic cook and the meals we had were superb. We loved everything about our stay and highly recommended.

    The owner is very nice, helpful and will give you all recommendations you need. She even allow me to use her phone to call the airline company and change a flight. The location is ideal, next to a very nice beach, diving centre and some bars and restaurants. The bungalow is big enough, very clean (it gets cleaned every day). The fans which help with the heat. Breakfast consists of fresh fruit, eggs, a small salad, and toasted bread. It’s simple but what you need. Thanks again

    We only have positive experiences from Hebe Bugalow Lodge. We are a family of 4 who spent 6 nights in Zanzibar. The hotel has the best staff. They are kind, honest, helpful, and always friendly. Additionally, they serve delicious and fresh breakfast. The area is especially great because you get to experience the local community and it is not overrun with tourists. The owner, Peter, is ready to greet guests upon arrival.

    Very cosy bungalows set in a beautiful garden! A short walk to an almost empty beach with soft, white sand and calm warm ocean. Paco & Maria are simply the best hosts you can ask for. Sale & Fum, so warm and attentive. We couldn’t be happier with our choice. Highly recommended if you want to chill.
