Makofi Guest House is located in Nungwi, 200 metres from Spanish Dancer Divers. The property offers free WIFI in the common areas and is 100 meters from Nungwi beach.

A terrace or patio are featured in certain rooms.

When in Nungwi, this is the place to be! I stayed there for a week and it was still way to short. I could stay there forever. The minute you arrive, this place feels like home. The atmosphere there is just amazing. Perfect location, just a short walk to the beach, to party places or to amazing local restaurants. Everything is so close. But it is still a very quiet place, so you can get a very good sleep. Staff is so friendly and will help you with everything. Breakfast is amazing. And I also highly recommend to try the BBQ party they organize twice a week.

This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. Kichwele Forest Reserve is 42 km from the bed and breakfast and Mangapwani Coral Cave is 47 km away.

Excellent stay in a very relaxed environment and with the best hosts in Nungwi.  After a big disappointment in the previous accommodations on the island, our real vacation just started when we came to "Pineapple house" at Luana and Isko's place.  Everything deserves the best rating; cleanliness, friendly atmosphere, friendly staff, excellent breakfast, great garden, nice rooms... Luana and Isko are the best hosts you could wish for. They were always ready to help and gave us the best recommendations on where to eat in the area, which beaches to visit, etc. They treated us like members of their family. Both are maximally dedicated to their guests and deserve the best recommendations. We realy hope to return to this place again and wish them all the best!

There is a private entrance at the homestay for the convenience of those who stay. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, a shared kitchen and currency exchange for guests.

The beautiful place is located in a perfect location - very close to Royal Beach, Masai market and the main road in which you can find shops for everything you need. The host is just an amazing person, a great, warm, and welcoming host. When we arrived, she welcomed us with a post card and flower decorations to celebrate our honeymoon, and also gave us a generous plate of delicious fruits. She took care of every need that we had, on a daily basis. Laundry, kitchen, local recommendations and transfer, places to travel and to buy things like alcohol, SIM card, even Barbershop. They even go to a distant shop to buy a new fan, in addition to the one in the ceiling, because we came in unusually hot weather and I'm very sensitive about hit. Housekeeping, every day, with colorful flowers and cleaning, which was very nice. The rooms are in the middle of a big, colorful and beautiful garden, which also has some nice spots to sit and relax. The whole place is very quiet and safe. No doubt we will come again.

    We enjoyed our stay very much at Babalao, with the help of the owners. Max and Elena are really welcoming and helpful from check-in and beyond. The location is great, 5min walk from the beach and close to the village. Nicely decorated with nice street art. The services are great: free coffee and tea or water refill, beach towels provided on demand, access to board and video games, nice beverages and food... We had the chance to have a music and BBQ night and the mood was laid back and joyful. Great stay, feeling at home.
