  • A great spot for a getaway!

    A nice spot not very far from Dar es Salaam city where you can spend some time away from the chaotic city life. Very close compared to Zanzibar, if you are limited on time this place is highly recommended. Amazing rooms with a beach view, good food and service! Friendly staff.
