House vacation rentals in Unguja North Region

We loved our stay at Carola & Mado's place! The villa was very clean and spacious with everything we needed to cook inside. There is a big balcony with sea views and nice breeze. We felt cool with the fans even though it was hot season. Carola was proactive and gave clear instructions. Salum was available on the property and responsive. Very easy communication. The beach is a 2 minute walk away and town is also a 2 minute walk away where you can buy basic groceries, water and snacks. There is also an affordable Italian resturant nearby that serves tasty pizzas! Our favorite part of the place was the pool surrounded by beautiful plants and trees. We will definitely stay here again when coming to Kiwengwa.

Absolutely incredible stay! The villa was stunning, offering a clean, relaxing atmosphere that made it the perfect getaway. The staff were exceptionally friendly and cooperative, ensuring every need was met with warmth & professionalism. Daily housekeeping and laundry services kept everything pristine throughout our stay. The pool was fantastic—large, well-maintained, cleaned daily, and boasting a stunning ocean view. Swimming there was an absolute delight! The villa also has stairs leading directly down to the ocean For activities nearby: - *Scuba diving:* One Ocean Dive Centre in Matemwe offers cool diving experiences. (10min driving) - *Horse riding on the beach:Zanzibar Horse Safari at Neptune Pwani Beach Resort & Spa with other water activities (15min driving) - *Dolphin & Snorkeling Tour near Mnemba Island We are genuinely grateful to Susan, Ali, and Doris for making our stay in Zanzibar memorable, and we highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for an amazing escape!

Fukuchani Inn is wonderful - the staff is pleasant, kind, and very willing to help with whatever you might need. Everyone was friendly and we had a wonderful stay. The Inn is right near the ocean, a quick little walk to a beautiful (albeit rocky) beach, and it's very close (about 15 mins) from Nungwi beach. And the pool is lovely! We stayed in the 2-bedroom Villa and it was perfect for my family, plenty of space and very clean. And of course I have to mention Daisy, the basset hound!! Such a friendly and good girl :) We would love to come back one day - overall, great stay :) Friendly reminder to travelers, Tanzania and Zanzibar often have power outages, and this includes A/C - but they only lasted a few mins each time, and the staff aims to provide as comfortable a stay as possible.

Zoe is a pleasant host, she was flexible with check in times and greeted us personally. Apartment is nice, it's close to the main road and boda will take you for 2-3k shillings to Kendwa or Nungwi beach. Wi-fi worked good during our whole stay. Quality of shower is very good. Zoe solved promptly one small problem that we had with stove. She even helped me with some meds when i was sick. Things for improvement: there is water pressure pump for house but sometimes it didn't work, so sometimes pressure was low. Zoe said that she has a plan to change water pump, so i think she will solve it for future guests. As per listing, there are no AC units, but there are ceiling fans in every room. Also washing machine would be nice add on for future guests, although there is a house helper who can wash your clothes for 20k shillings per wash except underwears, that you need to wash yourself. If you don't mind those small cons, you won't go wrong with Zoe and her place.

We had a great stay at this Airbnb! The location is perfect — 10 min walk to the beach, making it easy to enjoy morning walks by the water or sunset views. Despite being so conveniently situated, the area is peaceful and not too loud, allowing for a truly relaxing experience. The property itself is surrounded by beautiful nature, with a lovely garden. Everything was spotless and well-maintained, showing great attention to detail when it comes to cleanliness. A special mention to Irina, who was incredibly friendly and always available for any questions or recommendations on local life. Her warm hospitality made the stay even more enjoyable. The island is still developing and improving the electricity grid so occasional power outages shouldn’t come as surprise. Make sure to bring power banks and get an e sim so you can continue using your phone in such cases. Overall we had a great time and would absolutely stay here again!

Die Villa ist mit sie sehr viel Stil und Liebe eingerichtet. Die Besitzerin Patrizia sehr hilfsbereit und wirklich stilvoll. Die Gemälde an der Wand, die Bettwäsche aus Italien, die Details in der Villa und dann der Koch, der denn noch das Frühstück vorbereitet – es ist einfach nur zum Wohl fühlen und super!

My family had a wonderful 4 nights staying at Margo’s property - very private, very large functional bedrooms with fans, air conditioning and private ensuites, plus a separate fully self contained 3rd bedroom. A beautiful pool, 24 hour security onsite, daily house cleaning by Ester. And the dogs were super friendly and great company. If you like football, pack your boots and enjoy a game with the locals on the pitch next door. If you like tapas or just really good food - recommend having dinner at “ To Be” which is approx 1km from Margo’s. Couldn’t find fault with the accommodation or the lovely Margo as a wonderful host, who was available, responsive but also gave us total privacy.

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.

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!
