MNARANI BEACH COTTAGES
Go there and contact
Quiet hotel where to admire the sunrise and sunset, with quality cottages and the possibility to rent an apartment.
Nassor, the very friendly owner, was one of the first to invest in the village of Nungwi. This is why his hotel is located in a magical place, one of the only places where you can admire both the sunrise and the sunset. The site is quiet, well laid out, and the cottages are of good quality, without superfluous. Possibility to rent a fully equipped apartment. Swimming pool and private beach. Definitely one of the smartest addresses in Zanzibar. Nassor also has a superb ecolodge (Pemba Lodge) on the small island of Shamiani near Pemba.

Nous avions une vue exceptionnelle de notre chambre.
Enfin, nous avons la chance de de vivre un massage, face à la mer, qui était magnifique et surtout grâce à la masseuse.
Pour un séjour reposant il faut venir ici... ????

Location
Taxi from stone town approx .$40-50. 60-90 mins.
Located on quiet side road in nungei village. Few shop and local restaurants around.
The aquarium (swimming with turtles) is located minutes walk away.
Beach
Not a completely private beach, a few locals dotted around but mainly undisturbed. No nice shore to sunbathe on. Very rocky.
Low tide and the start of the day, by 2pm it starts to get very high until approx 8pm. Waves can make it hard to swim in but lovely when possible. Nungwi beach is approx 5 mins away. Kendwa is approximately 10-15 mins away.
Lots of loungers & hammocks across the decking and by the pool. Beautiful views of the ocean/horizon.
Rooms
Authentic rustic boutique feel. Fixtures/fittings a little tired. Lots of little insects in the bathroom(can be expected given the location). Ground floor room very spacious and easy access to the beach/bar.
Comfortable bed covered by a mosquito net. Rainfall shower only, no handheld option. Appreciated the brochure about the history of the hotel.
Decent strength wifi across the grounds.
Iron available on request.
Service
Amazing staff. Professional service and very helpful.
Andrew has a very warming character and always went the extra mile for us.
A lady approached each table during breakfast and requested feedback from guests and was quick to attempt to rectify any issues where possible.
It’s clear good customer service is a priority for the team here.
Food
Breakfast was not the best. Basic to say the least and was always swarming with flys/bees.
However the food available from the restaurant menu was delicious. 10/10. Excellent seafood options, reasonably priced. Menu is all in dollars. Pay tab on checkout.
Overall
I would stay here again but for approximately 4 nights max. We are a young couple- might get a little bored.
Happy hour would be a great addition.
