The property has pool and garden views, and is 1.4 km from Nungwi Beach. There is a restaurant serving African cuisine, and free private parking is available.

Mimi na wewe makes you feel welcomed every moment of your stay! The staff has been extremely kind and ready to help us with anything we needed (from transport to laundry and organizing activities). The breakfast was different every day and so abundant that was enough for lunch too! In just 10/15 minutes we could reach Kendwa Beach by walking, and also ATMs and shops were very close. The room was always perfectly cleaned and the free access to the pool from morning to evening is a huge plus!

This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. Kichwele Forest Reserve is 42 km from the bed and breakfast and Mangapwani Coral Cave is 47 km away.

Excellent stay in a very relaxed environment and with the best hosts in Nungwi.  After a big disappointment in the previous accommodations on the island, our real vacation just started when we came to "Pineapple house" at Luana and Isko's place.  Everything deserves the best rating; cleanliness, friendly atmosphere, friendly staff, excellent breakfast, great garden, nice rooms... Luana and Isko are the best hosts you could wish for. They were always ready to help and gave us the best recommendations on where to eat in the area, which beaches to visit, etc. They treated us like members of their family. Both are maximally dedicated to their guests and deserve the best recommendations. We realy hope to return to this place again and wish them all the best!

Providing free WiFi, private parking and a private beach area, the recently renovated property of Frangipani House Nungwi Zanzibar, offers rooms in Nungwi, 600 metres from Royal Beach and 1.1 km from Nungwi Beach. There is a private entrance at the homestay for the convenience of those who stay. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, a shared kitchen and currency exchange for guests.

The beautiful place is located in a perfect location - very close to Royal Beach, Masai market and the main road in which you can find shops for everything you need. The host is just an amazing person, a great, warm, and welcoming host. When we arrived, she welcomed us with a post card and flower decorations to celebrate our honeymoon, and also gave us a generous plate of delicious fruits. She took care of every need that we had, on a daily basis. Laundry, kitchen, local recommendations and transfer, places to travel and to buy things like alcohol, SIM card, even Barbershop. They even go to a distant shop to buy a new fan, in addition to the one in the ceiling, because we came in unusually hot weather and I'm very sensitive about hit. Housekeeping, every day, with colorful flowers and cleaning, which was very nice. The rooms are in the middle of a big, colorful and beautiful garden, which also has some nice spots to sit and relax. The whole place is very quiet and safe. No doubt we will come again.

    The property is set within beautiful surroundings and in close proximity to a stunning beach with a beach restaurant. The villas are private and relaxing. The food was incredible, we ate at the beach restaurant every day, and the staff were exceptional. Special shout out to Eva who taught us some Swahili and always welcomed us with a smile. They all made our stay so much more enjoyable.

    Great staff, ready to assist with any request- Issa was a fantastic driver. Delicious food available and a good variety of options. The rooms were large and the beds very comfortable. The access to the beach was superb and the pool area was very welcoming. The location away from the larger resorts suited the holiday we were after, and it was easy to walk or drive to the village as needed. We will definitely recommend to others to stay here!

    First thing is first: Paul (the receptionist) was the best host we ever had, anywhere. The amount of care and comfort he provided was invaluable. Rooms were nice, AC working all the time was needed and power outages were really short and unnoticeable. The shortcut to the beach was about 100m, and the village life was booming. Thanks LightOfZanzibar, but greatest thank to Paul, for a lot of things and being so forthcoming for our needs. Neša & Red
