Holiday Rentals in Moshi

This is such a perfect place if you want to experience genuine local life in a beautiful town. This place is in a gorgeous setting- the forest around is just incredible with so many different plants. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. We did a tour with a family member (Baraka) to the waterfall and loved it- he shared lots of local knowledge and history with us. We also did the coffee experience and highly recommend it. Everyone we met was so friendly and welcoming. I would love to come back and spend more time here.

The house is located in one of the best areas in Moshi. It’s very safe and quiet. The house has its own security night guard that lives on the property. It’s a 30 min walk to Moshi Town. Also the area offers restaurants with european standards and good food, bars, supermarkets and even pools. The host is very nice and helps his clients with all their demands.

Very clean, everything provided that we needed in the kitchen (we cooked our own meals during our stay there). Spacious, easy to follow the directions provided, kids loved being able to watch Netflix, the WiFi worked well.

A Magical Experience with the Chagga Tribe This was our favourite place to stay out of all six hotels during our three-week trip — and for good reason. The views of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru are absolutely breathtaking, and the staff are just incredible. Nothing was too much trouble, and their warm, welcoming nature made us feel right at home. Before our arrival, we had a lot of questions, and the communication beforehand was excellent — quick, clear, and very informative. They gave such a good first impression, and we could tell it was going to be a great stay thanks to how attentive they were even before we arrived. They also arranged our onward taxi to the airport in a very nice, comfortable car, making our journey stress-free from start to finish. The home-cooked food was delicious, everything was spotless, and the beds were wonderfully comfortable. We’ll be recommending Materuni Homes to all our family and friends. We especially loved spending time with the Chagga tribe, particularly Sylvester, who looked after our every need during our stay. He was brilliant with our 7-year-old son and made us all feel relaxed in his company. Unlike the Maasai, the Chagga tribe may not wear traditional dress daily, but they keep their ancient customs and culture alive in beautiful ways. They welcomed us into their village with open arms, sharing breathtaking mountain views, mouthwatering local dishes, and the stunning Materuni Waterfall. One highlight was the “tree-to-cup” coffee experience — they guided us through every step, showing how singing together makes the hard work lighter and more joyful. Their warmth, humour, and strong sense of community made it an experience we’ll never forget… and yes, the coffee was absolutely delicious 😋 A heartfelt thank you to Sylvester and the whole team at Materuni Homes for making our stay so memorable. You made us feel part of your family, and we’ll carry those memories with us always.

Excellent and friendly reception... Clean and quite environment

I stayed in both the dormitory and private room and can totally recommend both. The private room has better insulation and a comfy blanket which is great. Clean showers and rooms & extremely welcoming staff. Peter helps with buses, transport, safari or any other request or question one might have.

The accommodation is conveniently located not far from the Air Tanzania shuttle bus drop-off point. Most importantly, the staff were incredibly kind and helpful. I suffered from altitude sickness, and they went above and beyond to assist me, helping me get the necessary medication quickly and recover comfortably. Breakfast was served with a stunning view of Mount Kilimanjaro's peak, which was a highlight of my stay. While the rooms may not be spotless, they were equipped with a mosquito net, air conditioning, and hot water, which made the stay comfortable. There was a bit of noise from outside, but it wasn’t too disruptive. Overall, I highly recommend this place for its excellent staff and convenient location!
