House holiday rentals in Tanzania

Fukuchani Inn is wonderful - the staff is pleasant, kind, and very willing to help with whatever you might need. Everyone was friendly and we had a wonderful stay. The Inn is right near the ocean, a quick little walk to a beautiful (albeit rocky) beach, and it's very close (about 15 mins) from Nungwi beach. And the pool is lovely! We stayed in the 2-bedroom Villa and it was perfect for my family, plenty of space and very clean. And of course I have to mention Daisy, the basset hound!! Such a friendly and good girl :) We would love to come back one day - overall, great stay :) Friendly reminder to travelers, Tanzania and Zanzibar often have power outages, and this includes A/C - but they only lasted a few mins each time, and the staff aims to provide as comfortable a stay as possible.

Stayed 9 nights with my husband (June 2025). Great communication. Got collected at the airport by Suileman (sorry if spelling is wrong!)..we had a hire car so husband followed us behind..would be very hard to find otherwise. We were greeted by Said and Josephine with fresh coconuts... the house is just like the photos. Absolutely stunning. Beautiful gardens and clean pool with incredible views. Incredibly clean..bedrooms were gorgeous as was the bathrooms. Everything you may need was included. Staff were so helpful. Said took my husband out to show us where to buy bread. There are 2 local supermarkets...very expensive and mostly sold UK products! Air-conditioning upstairs but not down..I was incredibly hot. There are fans but still humid and hot. All in all..a fantastic holiday. The beach by villa isn't the best..very rocky..but beautiful views from patio area. Watch out for bugs and lizards.. but that's Africa! A truly memorable holiday. We will return one day. Easy 5 stars.

Our stay at the villa was perfect, we enjoyed all the peace and quiet that the villa offers. Everything you need is within walking distance (beach, restaurants, bar, etc.), where you are greeted warmly by the locals every time, as if you have been living there for years. This is a little gem, hidden in a local area. Highly recommended.

A perfect place for a family vacation, lots to do easy access to everywhere. Tha place looks better than in the photos had a great stay.

My stay at this beautiful property in Zanzibar was incredible. The house is truly a dream—spacious, elegant, and equipped with all the amenities you could wish for. The multiple terraces provide breath taking views, perfect for enjoying both sunrise and sunset, while the private pool and gardens offer the ultimate space to unwind. There is a very special feature in this property that is a private access to the ocean. It gives you your own slice of paradise. The house is wonderfully private, making it ideal for a peaceful retreat, yet it’s close enough to explore Zanzibar’s many attractions. The host is exceptional, going above and beyond to ensure every need is met. Her warmth, attention to detail, and local tips made the experience unforgettable. I wholeheartedly recommend this property to anyone looking for luxury, tranquility, and a touch of magic in Zanzibar

Absolutely loved our stay here, the home was exactly like the photos if not better, we were welcomed with them most helpful, hands on, amazing staff. The location as well was perfect right on the beach and close to everywhere in Jambiani, would recommend this place if you are planning to come to Zanzibar !!

Our stay in Uroa was wonderful. Emanuele put us in touch with his property manager who helped us with everything from airport transfers, setting up tours and even getting some medicine when some of our family came down with the flu. Uroa is a little bit remote in terms of amenities but that is what we were looking for. There are a few local restaurants within walking distance on the beach but not much more than that. We enjoyed walking the beach every day, swimming and wading out to the sand bar at low tide. There are also people/companies on the beach if you want to setup snorkeling tours or watersports. The caretaker and the housekeeper do a wonderful job keeping up the property and the housekeeper even made a few meals for us with the groceries we bought in Stonetown! The house was beautiful and in good repair. Beds were good and the pool was great to relax in. Overall, it was a very relaxing stay, just what we needed at the end of our trip to Tanzania!

Rashid was a great host. His communication was really good and the villa was really clean and big. We enjoyed our time here and really recommend it to other people!

It was perfect for our family of 4 children 12 years and younger. Quiet location and really felt safe. The house is old but was very clean and nicely decorated. One bedroom was without a fan but the house is shaded and it was cool enough that was no problem. Our children enjoyed the toys there and there is a nice view of lake Tanganika.

We had a fantastic stay and felt right at home. The beds were super comfortable and the projector a big highlight for the kids. The staff was super friendly, and the host too. I highly recommend this place and hope it will be available next time I return to Arusha!

Ernst is a very good gatsgeber . He responds immediately and always helps. Everything is very well organized. He has arranged the help on site very well. There is always a contact person there. Maybe think about an emergency power unit......The house is located directly on the beach , just a few steps to the sea. Absolutely quiet location. Thank you very much for the nice time there.

2 weeks in this house was really peaceful and nice. The general manager Mudy and also Anna were very proactive. The house is situated in a very quiet environment and we could walk 15 minutes to Kendwa beach. Otherwise we took moto taxis. I really recommand this place

Our group of 5 was comfortably accommodated and spent so much time in the beautiful open treehouse upstairs. Even during the rain we were kept nice and dry upstairs. We enjoyed the food made by the private chef and all the staff were very accommodating and responsive! Visits from the dogs on the property were such a lovely addition. We felt very at home and would love to come back sometime, especially during another season when the swimming is better. Bonus - the sunsets from the gazebo around the corner from the beach were spectacular. Make sure you take advantage of the beautiful grounds and walks around the area!

Simone was a lovely host! Responded super quickly. Saïd picked us up from the airport and was always ready. Mtumwa poetse wonderful! Sparkling clean. Beds were wonderfully changed every 4 days. If electricity and water failures, there was a generator. Nice! Beach in front of the door not really clean, but a short walk and you have a nice beach. In the house an info folder with all kinds of tips for trips. You can ask the helpful Saïd as a driver, or someone else. Children from the neighborhood play in front of the door on the beach. We enjoyed it! Put your chair on the beach at 5.30 pm and look at the fishing boats that come back with their catch. The house has a lovely veranda with dining table and chairs, where you can have breakfast etc. We had a lovely stay of 4 weeks and thank Simone for the good communication! Tip: bring aea for the children. They are really poor.

Ilboru Hideaway is a beautiful home in a place of outstanding natural beauty. If you want to escape modern-life stress and strain this is the place for you! Key and family always responsive, flexible, and dedicated to make it the best experience possible for their guests. Fabulous.

Casa di Lilli is a gem! Our stay at Elisabetta's beautiful house beat all of our expectations. The location is fantastic! It is a real beach house with a wonderful deck and amazing view of the beach and sea. A perfect place where we could unwind, relax and swim in the wonderful sea. The house is beautifully and thoughtfully decorated, well taken care of and very clean. Good kitchen and kitchen utensils if you want to cook your own food. Several good and nice restaurants are right next door. Throughout the stay, we were incredibly well taken care of by Theresa, a wonderful woman who cleaned and tidy for us and was always available if we needed anything, thank you for your care! A huge thank you to Abdul for your help arranging things for us and fixing what we needed help with, as well as nice and informative conversations! Thank you Elisabetta for letting us stay in your lovely house and for a consistently very good communication! We wish we will sometime come back to this paradise. Thank you!

had a great stay at this Airbnb! The host was incredibly responsive and helpful, answering all my questions quickly and making sure everything went smoothly. The location was perfect—close to everything I needed, including shops, restaurants, and transport. The place was clean, comfortable, and just as described. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Perfect spot for a group! The villa is beautiful, clean, and has great common areas to relax together. The host was super responsive and friendly, and the staff provided top-notch service. We especially loved the delicious included breakfast. Clean rooms, clean pool — everything was just right. Highly recommend!

We loved loved loved our stay at Wakushi house. Rebecca and Amani were so helpful and sweet people to be around and their place is just amazing. It is simply beautiful and very airy which is important on such a hot island. But it was the little details that stood out- fresh flowers, self-colored towels and handmade soap (which you can also purchase as a souvenir). Rebecca was also super helpful to arrange some trips and even took me to her yoga class. This might have been my best Airbnb-find ever!

Everything about this stay was incredible; the nature surrounding, the wildlife, the comfortable cottage, the friendly staff and cute dogs! Lesley was very kind and welcoming, making sure we had everything we needed. We stayed here for over a week and it was honestly such a restful getaway for us.

Thank you for the beautiful stay

I had a superb time and the host is really charming.

Beautiful, private, secure and stylish. We really enjoyed our time at the “Dream house”.

Fantastic Stay! And my new favorite Place in Arusha. Very nice House, super friendly staff. A garden area to dream of! Superb clean. Familiar atmosphere. I will be back soon. Thank you for everything!
