Paradise surended by nature

Pros: The hut is beautiful, very spacious and the scenery was stunning. Clara and her team went above and beyond for us, from airport pick up to safari excursions (make sure to book it from them, beat any prices)

Beautiful, relaxing getaway

Pros: Quiet and peaceful with beautiful views, the accommodation was very comfortable and brand new.

Cons: Just the coordination, the link for the map sent us the wrong way so took a bit longer than expected. Just timewise we weren't able to do a couple of things but it also wasn't very good weather which can't be helped.

A very peaceful & rural refuge.

Pros: The setting is gorgeous! Beautiful garden & (sometimes) views of Mts. Meru & Kili. Cleanliness is amazing! Brother of owner is mine host and very attentive.

Cons: Access road is grim! But it’s Tanzania… Electricity a little dodgy. Late night water supply a little unreliable.

Nice place close to Atosha NP and Kilimanjaro Airport

Pros: Nice place, hard to find. Well equipped, close to the gate of Atosha NP. Quit and friendly.

Cons: Ask for detailed directions and a working contact number. This will avoid adventure and frustration. A car with a lot of ground clearance is needed to get there. We had a Landcruiser, this was OK. With a normal car its very risky.

Der perfekte Ort in wunderbarer Natur um aufzutanken und sich zu erholen !

Pros: Die Lage mitten in der Natur mit Blick auf den Kilimanjaro ist wunderschön und etwas ganz Besonderes! Die letzten ein paar hundert Meter sind mit dem Auto wie schon in anderen Bewertungen geschrieben, erreichbar wenn man langsam fährt,aber das sollte niemand davon abhalten an diesem Ort zu sein ! Die Gastgeber waren immer erreichbar, sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit! Auch als Alleinreisende war ich jederzeit sicher aufgehoben. Essen sollte mitgebracht werden oder der Einkauf kann auch in Auftrag gegeben werden . Der Garten ist wunderschön und die vielen Vogelstimmen hört man kaum nachsitzen woanders. Wer Ruhe sucht und Inspiration in der Natur ist hier genau richtig! Einer der schönsten Orte in Arushas Umgebung.

Cons: Ich hätte gerne eine Keramiktasse gehabt. Leider gab es nur Gläserund Tassen aus Plastik. Aber das ist nur eine Kleinigkeit. Ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt!

Pros: The property is amazing and very well maintained, with a charming rustic vibe. It's the perfect place to connect with nature. We truly enjoyed every moment! The kitchen is fully equipped with all necessary appliances, and towels and linens are provided. Our hosts were incredibly welcoming, always available with prompt and helpful assistance. They recommended great restaurants and offered guidance for booking various activities. Upon our arrival, the host kindly offered us fresh eggs from his chickens, and we made a delicious omelet! It was a thoughtful gesture, especially since we arrived late and didn’t have the energy to go out for dinner. We also appreciated the flexibility of late check-in and early check-out—thank you! A heads-up for future guests: the road leading to the property is quite bumpy, so an SUV is highly recommended. We rented a reliable car from our host, which we used for getting around town. Asante sana!

Cons: Just a small note for future guests: the property isn’t heated, and during our stay, the indoor temperature dipped to around 17°C. However, there were plenty of cozy blankets provided, and with our warm clothes, we stayed perfectly comfortable. It actually added to the rustic charm and made for a snug, peaceful experience.

Fantastische plek!

Pros: De prachtige plek, de architectuur, de inrichting.

Cons: Ik kan niets bedenken. Het was vooraf duidelijk dat je deze locatie alleen kunt bereiken met een goede auto.
