Matemwe Beach Village is a
Zanzibari guesthouse – not a hotel and not a resort and we regard this
as a matter of pride.
At Matemwe Beach they have guests and not clients,
they relax; make themselves at home amongst our books, games and huge
cushions.
They make great friends
amongst the staff and amongst the other guests. Our aim is a simple one:
to provide authentic, stylish and comfortable accommodation, in an
atmosphere of relaxed hospitality and friendliness, while services are
provided effectively and efficiently. We live in peaceful co-existence
with the villagers who conduct their lives amongst us.
Simple rooms furnished in beach style with shades of blue and green.
Self-contained bathrooms and lots of little extra to make the stay
comfortable and enjoyable.
Shamba Suites:
Funky and romantic, spacious and stylish the five Shamba Suites offer a
couple or a small family the space to relax and enjoy themselves Matemwe
Beach Style.
Asali Suite
The ultimate romantic choice – usually booked by honeymooners or those
wanting to celebrate their love this suite is completely self-contained:
your own chef, plunge pool and beach ensure you never have to leave your
luxurious seclusion.
Hunger and Thirst Matemwe Beach Village Guesthouse's restaurant caters for all meals as well as offering a small
snack menu available at the pool bar and all during the day.
Daily menus are small but carefully planned to please all seafood
lovers, non-seafood lover and vegetarians. And we have a few surprises
in store – where will dinner be tonight?
Matemwe Beach Village Guest House offer a good selection of South African wines, Tanzanian beers and
the usual spirits and mixes.
Relaxing around Matemwe
Matemwe Beach Village Guest House know you don’t want to be in your room or the sun all day. The suites
all have plenty of chilled spots in which to relax and the standard
rooms have verandas, but there are many communal areas as well.
The coffee corner, the
cushion lounge, the dhow lounge and the pool bar as well as shady beach
bandas.
Beach and Swimming Pool
Those photos you see of long white beaches aqua waters and swaying palm
trees….
At Matemwe Beach that is our reality!
As the entire east coast
is tidal we have built a swimming pool (well two!) for our guests
comfort. This also makes learning to scuba dive so much easier. However
Matemwe Beach is about the beach so the pool is discreetly located and
not the centre of attention.
Diving and Snorkeling
5 star PADI Dive centre organizes diving, dive
courses and snorkeling from their dive centre within our premises. They
conduct daily excursions to the famous Mnemba Atoll.
Transfers
On the day of arrival
and departure we offer transfers between Airport/Harbour and Stone Town and Matemwe
Beach @ $60.- USD per car load.
