This apartment provides air-conditioned accommodation with a terrace. The apartment also features free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests.

I loved everything about Matemwe Ocean View Villas! I love how remote from all the zanzibar tourist attraction noise it is. It’s perfectly quiet, serene and beautiful. I felt like I could truly breathe here. Laucin a the absolute legend of a host. He shared his Moroccan food with me from his family and the food portion sizes were HUGE and DELICIOUS! Nowhere else compares in zanzibar for us. We even cancelled a reservation to stay an extra night and our only regret is choosing to go somewhere else for our last 2 nights. Next time, we’ll have our entire stay here. My favourite part was swimming in the pool under nothing but the moonlight and stars above us. It was absolutely amazing. My husband and I enjoyed so much that we barely took photos!

Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a housekeeping service, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available.

The property was at an excellent location and Roxana, the host was super flexible and helpful. She advised us on many many things from the airport transfer to arranging tours and restaurants to visit as well. Even though breakfast was the same every day (toast, eggs, fruit salad) it was always substantial and tasty. The beach is very close with lots of places (hotels, restaurants) to visit and even spend the day at. There is a dog and a cat at the property both being extremely friendly as well. We would certainly go back here if we were to visit Zanzibar again!

Everything was incredible and made our trip a dream! The property’s location is amazing and the sea view room we booked was perfect. From the warm reception and great service, to the welcoming + very helpful + attentive staff, the clean rooms, big pool and great food for breakfast, lunch and supper (buffet of course), everything was awesome and made our trip most enjoyable. Picture this: have your afternoon coffee on a cushiony swing right on the beach with a gentle sea breeze on your face as you stare out into the crystal blue ocean and bury your feet in the powdery white sand. Thank you Mustafa and Ahmed for your hospitality and for being kind enough to let us check out late because our flight was late in the evening.

    My family and I loved everything about the place. The location was excellent, we had a fantastic villa 15 steps from the beach with beautiful Ocean views and the sound of waves to put you to sleep. The chef is brilliant with a great menu and fantastic specials every night. The staff were friendly and attentive to every detail. The pictures and website do not do this place justice, it far exceeds what you see online.

    Hebe Bungalows Lodge is a unique lodging on the northeast shore of Zanzibar. The lodge is enclosed within a high wall and security gate. The road to the lodge is unpaved and rough. It winds through the local village where poverty is evident. The location was good for my snorkeling tour near Mnemba Island. I liked my room (#7) and the view. The staff were professional and friendly. The restaurant was enjoyable and the food was good.
