Holiday rentals in Nungwi

Villa Magnolia is as beautiful as it's name - we spent a very relaxing 4days there. The house is large and spacious, with beautifully furnished rooms and Zanzibari beds, and great aircon. It's position is perfect, right on the beach, but set back a bit so you still feel very private, and easy walking to several great restaurants and local tour operators and dive centre. The staff that live behind the house are very pleasant and helpful, keot the garden looking beautiful, yet were discreet when we didn't need them, and we loved their 2 dogs who were very well behaved. Aiasha and Shafiq were helpful with local recommendations, flexible with our check in and out, and organised a very reliable taxi to collect us and drive us there, that we ended up using for our next few transfers and for a very interesting Spice Farm tour. Highly recommended!

This is truly a one of a kind villa- perfect for long term stays as the rare feature of uninterrupted solar electricity is a luxury in Zanzibar. Arnaud is a kind stalwart host, ready to attend to the villa at anytime. Anne is superb at sweet efficient communication. They really know how to make you feel at home. The 24 hour Maasi attendant and 3 cool dogs ensure a safe stay. The villa is situated perfectly between Kendwa and Nungwi beaches, two pristine beaches which can be reached in a short walk or ride. Grocery stores are a quick walk as well. Barakana restaurant delivery has plenty of yummy menu choices. The villa is perfectly equipped with spacious rooms and ample shelving. The bathrooms are fantastic! Extra large showers with hot water and Kardashian luxury disappearing sinks- allowing space for an entire family's toiletries. The rooftop pool penthouse lounge is marvelous, offerring panoramic sunrises and sunsets and exquisite star filled nights under the African sky.

We loved our time here! We would absolutely come back - when you stay here be sure to go to the restaurant. It was phenomenal! The pool was wonderful, the staff were helpful and we even booked a massage through the hotel. I would highly recommend doing that for your stay as well! The masseuse suggested doing the massage at the Yoga Bar - hearing the ocean while getting the massage was wonderful! We will absolutely be back!

2 weeks in this house was really peaceful and nice. The general manager Mudy and also Anna were very proactive. The house is situated in a very quiet environment and we could walk 15 minutes to Kendwa beach. Otherwise we took moto taxis. I really recommand this place

Simone was a lovely host! Responded super quickly. Saïd picked us up from the airport and was always ready. Mtumwa poetse wonderful! Sparkling clean. Beds were wonderfully changed every 4 days. If electricity and water failures, there was a generator. Nice! Beach in front of the door not really clean, but a short walk and you have a nice beach. In the house an info folder with all kinds of tips for trips. You can ask the helpful Saïd as a driver, or someone else. Children from the neighborhood play in front of the door on the beach. We enjoyed it! Put your chair on the beach at 5.30 pm and look at the fishing boats that come back with their catch. The house has a lovely veranda with dining table and chairs, where you can have breakfast etc. We had a lovely stay of 4 weeks and thank Simone for the good communication! Tip: bring aea for the children. They are really poor.

We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. We were greeted, shown where something, even a small treat (snacks and watermelon). Everything worked properly, and electricity, and water, and the Internet. There was plenty of kitchen utensils, even a blender. Very nice Maasai who are on duty 24/7. There's a grill outside, but we didn't use it. There is a cat with a kitten on the property, for us it was a very nice bonus. The cabin itself is bug free, etc. And just your area around. There is a supermarket nearby, but it takes 20 minutes to walk to the beach, but the beach itself is insanely beautiful. It is also necessary to take into account that the curtains that close the glass do not hide everything 100%, so you are always a little, but you can be seen from the outside.

Tatyana and the husband they are very helpful host I recommend everyone to come and stay at Tatyana’s place

Banu was a wonderful host! The place is absolutely dreamy—perfectly located in Kiwengwa, about an hour from Stone Town. We loved how peaceful and quiet the area was, while still being close enough to drive to other spots in Zanzibar. The home is ideal for a trip with family or friends—spotlessly clean and fully equipped with all the amenities you could need. Banu went above and beyond by providing large quantities of bottled water and laundry detergent, and she was super responsive and helpful with any additional resources we needed. I would definitely come back—I'm already missing it!

This was such a lovely stay! Mr. Davies and Paola were extremely helpful before and during our stay, the villa was even more gorgeous than we expected and the entire team helped us feel right at home. They paid attention to the little details and we super responsive to every single question and request. Thank you so much, I’m already planning my next trip back!
