Everything was just super: breakfast outside, staff, Michael the manager, swimming pool, the whole enviroment. It was about 200m from the beach. We used to go through a narrow street with local Masai-owned souvenir shops. The AC did not work one night but was fixed very quickly. The fridge did not work but that was not a problem.

Located in Nungwi, on the quieter north east coast of Zanzibar, Game Fish Lodge is situated along the beachfront and features an in-house restaurant, bar and a sun terrace. Free private parking is offered on site.

The absolute best thing about this place is Colin and Leslie the delightful owners. They immediately treat you like family and they’re just good, genuine people. The lodge itself has everything you need and feels like a hidden little quiet corner of paradise. The air-conditioning works great and there was always plenty of hot water. You MUST sign up to have Colin make you dinner! I had the best tunafish I’ve ever eaten in my entire life. breakfast was a multi course experience and I don’t know how we’re ever going to top of the food here.

The rooms are clean and spacious and the beds are very comfy. Awesome fibe.

À la carte and continental breakfast options with pancakes, fruits and juice are available each morning at the guest house. The family-friendly restaurant at Ocean Breeze Boutique Hotel specialises in American cuisine, and is open for dinner and lunch.

I spent four nights at the Ocean Breeze and everything was great, from Abdallah’s (the owner who has a thousand stories to tell) and the rest of the staff’s (Abduli, Nasrah and Nadia) welcome, to the plentiful breakfast (with lots of fruits like I like it!) and the spacious room.

    Nadya is great host who gave some really awesome recommendations (from restaurants to going to a secret sand bank), and all of them were top rated. MaNa is a super quiet place, just 2 mins walk from the beach, and about 15 mins walk (on the beach) from the busy part of Nungwi beach. Great food options everywhere nearby. And the place is super clean, lots of care gone into it.

    charming, quiet villa on the east side of Nungwi. with a large garden and a space with a pool table. Very nice for those who want seek a location in Nungwi and still very close to the beach. I rented the room with private bathroom which is very spacious as well as the bathroom. The breakfast is local and includes fruits, chapati, eggs, coffee and tea. Mike the host is very accommodating. But the most interesting point remains the unbeatable value for money on Nungwi.

    I enjoyed my stay very much ❤️ the accomodation is just in perfect location! It is in the middle of Nungwi, so you can go more on west to enjoy more turistic but beautiful beaches, or more on east for more calm, local beach experience. Or you can just swim on the beach which is like 3 minutes from guest house 🙂 It is in very calm area, no noise from Nungwi parties 🙏 and Kosta is just great host! Easy to talk and he cares for his guests very much! Hakuna matata! 🙂 During my stay I felt like a family member ☺️ Thank you once again! ❤️

    This place is a few steps away from the best beach in Zanzibar. Perfect location for a place that's not a beachfront. It is also located right next to the city center so there are restaurants, mini markets, bars and other shops everywhere within walking distance. Great hosts
