A Piece of Heaven Near Ngorongoro – Simply Exceptional
Pros:

Our family stay here was absolutely perfect. The sisters are incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Throughout our visit, they showed immense understanding, care, and support toward us, especially with our children.The location is a true piece of heaven, situated very close to the Ngorongoro gate. Both the food and the accommodations were excellent. A special mention must go to their incredible garden, which they diligently attend to and care for with love. We cannot recommend this beautiful place enough!
Domus Aurea Safaris 👍

Cons:

Everything was great. There is a little soap in the bathroom, it was not a problem for us since we had our bathroom soaps and shampoos.

Super établissement, très bien situé, avec un personnel extra.
Pros:

Super établissement, propre, très bien situé, avec un personnel extra, petit déjeuner super.
Je recommande 10000 fois!
Possibilité de commander le repas pour le soir, et une lunch box pour le midi, et c'est délicieux.

Cons:

rien. Mais attention si vous êtes accro au wifi, ils ne fonctionnent pas très bien (message, whatsapp, messenger ok!)

Excellent value for money in a relaxed environment with good food.
Pros:

Convenient location close to Ngorongoro gate. Clean room, good food and pleasant environment in a monastery. Value for money.

Cons:

You are locked in essentially from 7pm to 6am. This is supposedly because of wildlife which is probably an excuse as there are farming settlements all around. I wanted to look for night birds and was only able to do so when they opened the doors about 0545, it was still dark but they weren’t concerned about wildlife then!

An oasis of peace, kindness, and delightful meals
Pros:

Our stay at this Catholic monastery lodge was one of the most peaceful and pleasant experiences during our travels through Tanzania. We were welcomed with warmth and grace. The nuns and the staff were kind and helpful. Their quiet hospitality radiates through everything they do. The lodge itself is immaculate: every corner is squeaky clean and beautifully maintained. There’s a profound sense of serenity here that words can hardly capture. The room was perfect: spacious, bright, and thoughtfully prepared with comfortable beds and mosquito nets that made for restful sleep.
The food was a highlight. Every meal was a masterpiece. The vegetables are from their own garden and are fresh and flavorful. Each dish was not only delicious but presented with the care and beauty of a five-star restaurant, which was an unexpected and delightful touch. They bake their own fresh bread and produce their own eggs and honey. Both the dinner and the breakfast we had there were truly amazing! This monastery lodge is a rare gem. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
