Amenities
You will feel as if you have stepped into an Arabian dream when you experience all the amenities our boutique hotel has to offer - from our lush tropical courtyard in the heart of Stone Town replete with a swimming pool, to private, hand-carved Swahili balconies, spacious baths, and our rooftop terrace and Tea House. Our boutique hotel offers a welcome escape from busy city life.
Each of our nine rooms and suites are uniquely styled and designed to envelope you with the colours of vibrant Zanzibari spices, and a sense of olden times. These rooms, all with high timber-beamed ceilings, are equally rich in character and quality.

Quiet Oasis
Our reception area furnished with early nineteenth century sofas, armchairs and a marble fountain is an ideal space to relax and enjoy a Tanzanian pure arabica coffee, spiced tea or fresh juice while checking in or planning your excursions for the day ahead.
Our walled garden with a Swahili veranda and a beautiful private swimming pool is also a great place to catch the afternoon sun. And if you are looking for a view, then you can wind your way up our stairs through exotic archways that lead to our rooftop Tea House, which offers panoramic vistas of the city, the port, and the islands off of Stone Town.
