Mnarani Beach Cottages

Great location, right on the beach with stunning view. It’s a little bit out of the way from the west coast of Nungwi, which is more crowded and touristy. For us this was an advantage, as beach here was more peaceful, and there were not so many «beach boys» in the area. The outside area of the hotel was great with palm trees, sun beds and hammocks. Simply perfect for a relaxing day at the beach. The staff was wonderful and really was one of the best things about this hotel!

Our stay at Mnarani was exceptional from the very first moment we received a warm and special welcome from the team. The staff's attention to detail and professionalism made us feel right at home, with a particular shout-out to the team in the bar and lounge area. We were a group of 8, including 3 children, spending Christmas in a completely different environment for the first time. The staff ensured we felt at home, making our Christmas evening truly wonderful. We would like to extend our special thanks to Fatima, Nassor, Andrew, Mahmoud, Khaamis, Amour, and Ally. This place is perfect for those seeking comfort, hospitality, and service that goes above and beyond expectations. We highly recommend it and will definitely be returning

What an incredible place! Stayed 13 nights in november. Very nice hotel on the quiet part of Nungwi. Staff was so friendly. Ali in the reception kept track on everything, and was very service minded. Andrew was our go to guy, he fixed everything we asked for, and made very good coctails in the bar. We ate several lunches and dinners at the Hotel, and the curries became our favorite. Gina served us dinner and drinks, always happy, and asking about our day. Be aware of the big changes in tides! Swimming is only possible between high and low tide. Taxi to Kendwa Beach on the westcoast, is an alternative. Pool was very nice, and cleaned several times a day. Room was cleaned every day, with new towels and sheets. Bugnet around bed, but no mosquitoes in the room. This was a very pleasant stay, and the staff very friendly and polite. We would come back any day!

The place is a paradise. located at the very north of the island, next to the lighthouse. Very nice setting on the beach with lush vegetation and a nice swimming pool. Superb view from the room (we had a king bed room in the new building on the right side - I guess that's their best rooms at the moment). Room was very nice and spacious, bed very comfy, balcony superb. Breakfast was good, staff was very friendly. Restaurant was ok, a bit pricey tho. So just keep in mind that the place is a bit far from everything else turistic in Nungwi - we had a scooter, but without it we'd have to take a tuk tuk or walk a long way everytime we wanted to go someplace else - so if you're gonna mostly be juet chilling here it's perfect, but if you want to be more in the centre of everything, it's better to find a place on the western part of Nungwi. Overall we were very happy with the plave and would stay here again.

Beautifully situated right on the beach and within walking distance to many of the areas attractuons. We had a sea facing room and at high tide you can just about step out of your room straight into the sea. The grounds were so clean and pretty and the rooms lovely and spacious. The staff were so helpful and friendly - nothing was too much trouble. We loved being away from the busy strip of beach around the corner. Also, many thanks to the security guards for gently encouraging the "beach boys" to move on - we felt very safe and secure which allowed us to just relax and enjoy our surroundings even more.
