Set just 70 metres from Kendwa Beach, Pumzika Kendwa Villa provides accommodation in Kendwa with access to a garden, a shared lounge, as well as a shared kitchen. It is located 2.7 km from Royal Beach and features a housekeeping service. The guest house offers rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi.

We really enjoyed our stay. We had the big room with two twin beds, air conditioning, and private bathroom in a very central location a short walk from the beach. There are stores and restaurants within 10 minutes walking distance. But more important, Mustafa was a great host. He arranged for us to do laundry on-site for a small cost, handled a bothersome occupant, and even let us keep our bags in the room past check-out time so that we could do a Mnemba snorkeling trip. He is also a great supporter of his community, teaching in a local public school and doing community outreach in Kendwa. Service makes all of the difference and Mustafa made our stay special. We highly recommend Pumzika Kendwa Villa for your Kendwa stay!

After a month of traveling around Africa, this place was our home away from home for two weeks. For an affordable price, we got everything we needed and more. Juma, the receptionist, always greeted us with a smile on his face and was happy to assist with anything we needed in and outside of the hotel. Augustino, the manager, is practically a local and helped us plan our itinerary throughout our stay. Rooms were cleaned and tidied every morning, and laundry services and a restaurant were provided in the hotel. Pool was perfect temperature, and we could even swim at night thanks to beautiful pool lights. The location is a 5 minute walk from the beautiful Nungwi beach, and right next to the local "Cocobello" club. Miti is beautiful, quiet, and intimate, and we are already planning our next trip!

Very nice place. Bungalows are clean and comfortable. There is a garden with a swimming pool which is nice. Great place to relax. Breakfast was big and tasty. The staff is always ready to help you. The beach is approx 5 min walk (and the beach was really beautiful, the best beach in this area). We had a great time and truly recommend this place.
