I loved everything. Especially after a few days safari, it is super nice to relax at this beautiful little hotel. The rooms (only 10) are spacious and comfortable. The garden and pool is nice to spend some time in. Dinner and breakfast were homemade and cooked with fresh and wholesome ingredients. Dinners are served buffet style and there is one big table for all guests to mingle. The owners come down for a chat too. The staff is super kind and helpfull. It is close to the airport so also the location is convenient. I loved my stay and would recommend it for sure.

We still have the look and the smile of Innocent in our head....innocent welcomed us in his beautiful comfortable house like friends...his smile is true sincere without particular intentions, his spirit is healthy and honest. He is a very smart man who prepares his future with very good values. He does not make you feel like a simple tourist but like a friend. He propose also good advices for your stay regarding safaris for good prices without being pushy. He can really be proud of him, of all he have done to arrive there! We will be back I hope! PS : i forgot Steve the cooker, he will prépare for you a very nice breakfast :)

The property went above my expectations, it was almost a private villa you'd probably get nowhere in Arusha in that price range. Even my safari guide was puzzled as to how I discovered it. Don't let the lower number of reviews take you elsewhere, it opened in 2023. There's a private garden, lush and manicured with perfection, a balcony, two roof top terraces to enjoy 360deg view of the area and not to forget clear view of Mt Meru, and it's immaculately clean throughout the property. To top it off, the staff was the kindest and most helpful bunch of people, I was blown away by the hospitality of Walter and Jackson who helped me with SIM card, restaurant suggestions, even helping recovering our power bank we left at the SIM store. They made every efforts to make our stay memorable. Definitely coming back here if in Arusha next.

    I really loved my stay here - Innocent is a great host, always going an extra mile to help or accommodate his guests. As it was my first time in Tanzania, he made it much easier for me to get used to it, helped arrange transportation, order food from delicious local restaurant etc. Also breakfast served was delicious!
