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!

Offering a garden and quiet street view, Happy House Nungwi is located in Nungwi, 1.5 km from Royal Beach and 1.7 km from Nungwi Beach. This guest house provides free private parking and a shared kitchen. Staff on-site can arrange a shuttle service.

This was a fantastic place. Olya and Roman were awesome, super sweet and helpful in giving us suggestions of where to go and eat. Also very helpful in giving directions of how to get to their place. Extremely clean, spacious, and affordable room. Importantly - had excellent hot water in the shower. 15-20 minute walk from either Nungwi or Kendwa beach. Great location if want to experience local life (some of the best chai, chipatti, and local food are a few minute walk away). We felt super safe at night. If traveling on a budget - this is the place to stay. We would come back.

    with regards to staffing the management was awesome and the people at the front desk too, Rafiq & Karim were great hosts and made everything comfortable, the only downside to me would be the staff who work the outside beach restaurant, little but too moody considering the location. staff 5/10 location 10/10 comfortability 9/10 flexibility 10/10 management 10/10 Great stay, would just improve restaurant staffing attitude towards guests.
