Mooie locatie maar belangrijke informatie in advertentie ontbreekt
Pros:

Prachtige locatie, meteen aan zee tussen de palmbomen en mooi uitzicht over de baai en de haven.

Cons:

Voor mijn kamer hing een groot spinnenweb van 1 x 1,5 meter met drie enorme spinnen erin, groter dan mijn hand. Dat vond ik niet heel plezierig en daarom besloot ik daar ook niet te blijven. De eigenaar had er wel begrip voor en deed niet moeilijk. Lijkt me goed dat wel te vermelden op de site, zodat reizigers daar rekening mee kunnen houden. Verder vond ik de foto's op internet een veel luxer idee geven van de accomodatie dan het in werkelijkheid is. Het beeld op de site is niet die van de werkelijkheid.

An Unforgettable Stay with the Best Hospitality in Africa!
Pros:

We had an amazing and truly unique stay at this lodge in Pemba. While the rooms are very basic, the warmth and incredible hospitality completely make up for it. The lodge is located right on the ocean, and there is a gorgeous wooden second floor where you can sit, relax, and take in the magical views.

The owner is a charming South African who truly hosts from the bottom of his heart and goes above and beyond for his guests. We were there for our daughter Tamari’s birthday, and he woke up extra early just to make her pancakes and even bought her donuts! It was such a special and touching gesture that made her day.

He also prepares dinner and invites guests to join for a very reasonable price. The best part is that all the guests eat together, which creates a lovely bonding experience. We enjoyed it so much! I can honestly say it was the most delicious meal I’ve had in Africa so far—he made an amazing chicken curry with rice, a fresh salad, and a lovely dessert.

He really cares about everyone's experience and helps organize great activities, like taking guests snorkeling or to see the local fruit bats, and he even gave us a ride to the ferry.

If you are looking for a place with heart, soul, and a host who genuinely cares about your experience, this is exactly the place to be. Highly recommended!
