Smoking friendly vacation rentals in East Africa

I had a verry nice stay at Arsheen's. The location is perfect in the hearth of Stone Town. She was verry helpful and so was Mushtaq.

Would stay again in a heartbeat! Great location and walking distance to the beach, restaurants, bars. I felt right at home here. A beautiful, comfortable apartment with all the kitchen tools needed. Rachel and Fatima were wonderful and responsive. An excellent choice for your stay in Diani Beach!

Lovely quite place to escape the busy city but still close enough that you have everything you need.

We had an amazing stay at this spacious, comfortable, and beautifully maintained apartment. Its location is perfect, with many restaurants, a shopping center, and popular beaches just a short distance away. The apartment is well-kept, offers 24/7 security, and includes dedicated parking - everything we needed for a hassle-free stay. Christopher is a great host. He dropped by during our check-in and thoughtfully walked us through all the apartment amenities. Highly recommend this place for a wonderful stay in Mauritius!

Anina is such a lovely hostess. Communicative, helpful and welcoming. Loved her “Local Gide” of fun recommendations in the area. Her African Art Suite was as beautiful as the photos -a dream. Decorated so tastefully with a serene view of the pool garden. Everything was cleaned and well organized. The housekeeper Nancy was sweet and the gate guard Godfrey was so fun and helpful. The beach is stunning and the walks and restaurants right on the sand will never be forgotten. Thank you for a lovely week, Anina!

It was the 4th place we stayed at during our trip and we found it to be a perfect end to our trip. Eden Island provides a different flavour from the rest of (laid back/chilled out) Seychelles - pedal-ball courts, tennis court, club house, swimming pools, kid's park, private beaches protected from rough seas, yachts lined up outside every apartment, golf carts to drive around freely, the Eden Plaza mall with a super-store and several high-end restaurants, ice-cream parlors and cafes - everything you could need is within a few minutes of walking/golf-carting. Ronan's place was at a superb location. His communication was clear, helpful and proactive. The place was exactly as described. Very comfortable. Ronan allowed us an early checkin as well as a late checkout - superb host and a superb place!

The apartment was really great! The location in Black River (west of Mauritius) is perfect for excursions and daily supply (supermarket, restaurants, boulangerie etc.) is just around the corner. The apartment complex is very nice, clean, safe and well maintained. The pool and the lookout from there on black River Bay and Le Mourne is tremendously great - not only for sunsets. The apartment itself doesn’t lack anything. It was perfectly clean, felt very nice, private and welcome to be inside of it and the balcony is great to enjoy your food or just to relax. It’s in our opinion of a perfect size for four people (family) and the available utensils/ items in the kitchen are well thought-through. Priscilla is a wonderful host with a perfect balance of being very helpful, friendly and reliable without forcing you to anything. We would definitely recommend the apartment as we experienced it.

Many thanks to Rachelle and Kevin, thank you grisouille for your charming company and I look forward to coming back to relax at your place very soon.

We had an amazing break away for 8 adults and a child and the accommodation ticked all the boxes with high quality beds and bedding. The pool has a safety net over which immediately set me at ease with regards to kid safety. You really don't want for anything in the kitchen, it's fully equipped. The host was really helpful and responsive on questions. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to go back again.

This rental home is probably one of the most unique that we have ever experienced. Incredible natural beauty, gorgeous views, refreshing outdoor bathrooms, etc. Felt like we are in nature while having the luxuries of civilization. Truly a memorable stay. Dave and his crew are helpful and accommodating. If we ever get out to Tofo again, we would love to stay here for an even longer duration.

We enjoyed our stay here so much! Beautiful, clean, homely space with amazing staff members who made sure we were always comfortable. Also, the chef’s food, so so good! Can’t wait to be back!

What a beautiful home and a warm and helpful host. We really enjoyed our stay - this place is now a pin on our map that we would gladly consider returning to. Highly recommend for a peaceful weekend away. The property is beautiful and the house is well-furnished. The host is very helpful and responsive.

Thanks to Hazel, our stay in the Seychelles was wonderful. Hazel is very welcoming, kind, and always ready to help! We really liked the accommodation – everything was comfortable, beautifully designed, clean, and had everything we needed. The grill was a great bonus – we used it to cook fresh local fish. Within walking distance from the house, there’s a beach, supermarket, fruit shop, fish shop, restaurant, bank, pharmacy, and several takeaways. A special thank you to Hazel for the lovely surprise at the end of our stay – it was so unexpected and truly appreciated! We sincerely recommend this place and hope to stay here again in the future!

We had a great stay! The accommodation is a short walk to the beach, perfect for really disconnecting. Everything is designed to make you feel good and rest, not forgetting the daily cleaning. We'll be back soon! I won't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in Diani A big thank you to the Eden Escape team, our stay was fabulous.

James' house located in a very safe neighborhood, considering this is our first time in South Africa, this is necessary to make us feel good, plus we're travelling with 3 small kids. The house is spacey, have everything we need, comfortable, though a little cold during wintertime as it doesn't have central heating, but for adults it's manageable. Distance is also great if you have a car, which is mandatory for Joburg in my opinion. James is also very friendly and responsive, answers to questions whenever he is available, so this was a great find :)

Camilla’s place is absolutely stunning. Tucked away in a sand dune within sight and sound of the ocean. The tide is wide and creates a sandy expanse at low, and a choppy sea at high The open living space is spacious with high cathedral roof and a large sitting area with a kitchen area large enough for all four of us to prepare meals. The dining table is big and sturdy. The bedrooms are also spacious with king beds and full square mosquito nets. The bathrooms are large and open. The house staff, Baraka and Salma welcomed us on the beach as we arrived and to tote our bags to the house. They are discreet and let us be independent with cooking and cleaning. They offered to wash laundry, made beds, and Baraka even helped us find wine at a local shop. Truly one of a kind. Thank you Camilla and team.

Absolutely STUNNING villas. I would stay here over and over again - highly recommend selecting this spot on your stay. They also offer the option for dinner and the sunsets on the patio are some of the best I've seen. Only downside here is that I worked remotely for the 4 days that I was there... the WiFi worked well overall, but it would cut out on video calls (Zoom, Google Meet, etc.). Without my eSIM + being able to hotspot from my phone, this would have been a MAJOR problem for me. Other than that, if you are solely on holiday and not needing that, this spot is the winner!

Thank you Pwani Luxury for allowing my family and I to utilize your accommodation during our visit to Mombasa. This host was always responsive and willing to accommodate any requests that we had. The place was simply beautiful and worth every penny spent. Anyone in need of a relaxing place with a beautiful view should consider this accommodation.

Sandra is responsive and welcoming. The accommodation is perfect for a comfortable stay. Totally satisfied with my choice.

Stayed here for one night as we had an early flight. Caroline was very responsive, the flat has a great view and we visited the restaurant on site and had some lovely fresh food.

This place is very nice! It is beautiful, the on site staff are very helpful and it’s very centrally located in Vic Falls. As it turns out, Google locations/ addresses in Vic falls are a mess, but if you type Eagle House, both google and all the locals will point you right to it. Everyone in town knows Eagle House is number 755. This place is great for staying a few days or even longer, highly recommended!

Great host. Super responsive. Highly recommended.

We didn’t stay long as it was a very last minute booking for our initial arrival into Nairobi, however Maureen’s communication was superb, she was very responsive and very helpful in her communication. It was only for her fast responses that we had a bed to sleep in after our 4am arrival. The apartment was very comfortable and clean and just what we needed for our short stay.

This was our second stay at Maud's and we are delighted to have found this beautiful, well-maintained accommodation in this beautiful environment. It's such a pleasure to stay at this place. Don't hesitate.
