    There was nothing we disliked about the place. The street is a bit noisy but Nungwi is a vibrating area.

    So many things that made our stay almost perfect. First there is Tanya who cares a lot about her guests. The breakfast is delicious and fresh juice, fruits and good bread are perfect. The accommodation is clean and well equipped. The pool and garden are amazing, because of the low tide we often enjoyed our time at the pool. 7 min walk to the beach and restaurants.

    Very quiet and exclusive. Being able to use the pool at night was very romantic. Very short distance from the beach and the main part of Nungwi. The room was very clean, the bad was very comfortable, The hotel team was very attentive and friendly. I would definitely recommend to my friends. Thanks Gaia Villas.

    We had a fantastic stay at Gaia Villas. The staff were exceptional and Tanya herself made sure all our needs were met during our stay. Breakfast was delicious, especially the shakshuka and freshly baked bread. The location is only a short walk from the beach and several restaurants and bars. I would highly recommend!

    I loved everything about Gaia Villas. The villa itself was super comfortable and clean, with really thoughtful details such as locally-made soap and a beach bag you could use during your stay. The breakfast and lunch were so delicious. I loved chilling by the pool in the peaceful garden. The staff were also lovely and helpful. They organised snorkelling and transport to Nungwi from Stone Town and back again. This place isn’t super close to the beach, but I liked being a little bit away from the main area. They provide a helpful map to help you get to where you need to go. Would absolutely go back next time. Thanks so much!

    Having to leave and go home was the worst part!

    Beautiful gardens that felt like being in a calm jungle oasis only 5mins walk away from the beach. Since the beach can get quite busy (also stunning) it was so nice to be back in the peaceful gardens of Gaia Villas around the pool. Room was very spacious and comfortable with a great terrace where we could enjoy the breeze. Breakfast was yummy too.

    We did spend five days to this wonderful hotel. Staff was super friendly and responsive to any questions we had. Delicious breakfast was waiting for us every morning. A huge addition the parking just outside the hotel with 24h security. For divers there is a diving school just 5’ min for away. Highly recommended, we had an unforgettable experience! Many thanks

    Nothing the accommodation can do about, but the constructions around the building are a pain, they can turn you crazy 🙄

    An oasis of green in the middle of the craziness. We loved the spacious apartment and the care the staff has, especially compliments to Issaya, thank you!

    The property felt like it was on an island of its own, hidden away from the rest of the world, it was peaceful with a beautiful garden and wonderful staff. Our apartment was superb, own balcony, private entry, large living room and bedroom with a modern bathroom. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, a big shout out to Isaaya who made sure we had what we needed, including ice for our daily drinks on the balcony. Thank you to Tanya who was helpful and kind, you have a fabulous staff and we enjoyed sharing your slice of heaven with you!

    We have spent lovely 10 days in Gaia and could easily spend more, which is something I say rarely. The rooms are spacious and cleaned daily, including spraying for mosquitos in the evening. The bed is the most comfortable I have had in Africa so far! The breakfast is pleantiful and prepared fresh each morning, including homemade baguettes and jam. The beach is only a short walk away or you can catch quick&cheap tuk tuk ride anywhere in Nungwi. However what makes Gaia stand out is Tanya and her team, who are all very friendly and so so helpful, going above and beyond to ensure you have a comfortable stay. Asante sana Gaia :)
