Vacation rentals in Maziwi Island

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 een geweldige host! Reageerde super snel. Saïd haalde ons van het vliegveld en stond altijd paraat. Mtumwa poetse geweldig! Brandschoon. Bedden werden elke 4 dagen heerlijk verschoond. Bij uitval van electriciteit en water was er een generator. Fijn! Strand voor de deur niet echt schoon, maar klein stukje lopen en je hebt een fijn strand. In huis een info map met allerlei tips voor uitstapjes. Je kunt de hulpzame Saïd als chauffeur vragen, of iemand anders. Kinderen uit de buurt spelen voor de deur op het strand. Wij hebben er van genoten! Zet om 17.30 je stoel op het strand en kijk naar de visserbootjes die met hun vangst terugkomen. Het huis heeft een heerlijke veranda met eettafel en stoelen, waar je kunt ontbijten etc. Wij hebben een heerlijk verblijf van 4 weken gehad en danken Simone voor de goeie communicatie! Tip: neem eea voor de kinderen mee. Ze zijn echt arm.

Нам очень понравилось проживание в этой хижине. Нас встретили, показали где что, даже было небольшое угощение (снеки и арбуз). Все работало исправно, и электричество, и вода, и интернет. Было достаточное количество кухонной утвари, даже есть блендер. Очень милые масаи, которые дежурят 24/7. Есть на улице гриль, но мы им не пользовались. На территории есть кошка с котенком, для нас это был очень милый бонус. Сам домик без насекомых и прочего. И вокруг только ваша территория. Недалеко есть супермаркет, но до пляжа идти минут 20, но сам пляж безумно красивый. Нужно еще учитывать, что шторки, которые закрывают стекло, не скрывают все на 100%, так что вас всегда немного, но видно снаружи.

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!
