About this villa rental
The OceanView Villa is a private villa for rent suitable for family vacations, family reunions, small groups of friends, and couples seeking privacy and tranquillity. The rooms are designed and decorated to capture the local Swahili style of Zanzibar and blend flawlessly with the environment.

The living room is a fantasy in motion, great expander looking up into the magnificent makuti roof. The artistry of the sofa and lounge chairs made by a famous artist/carpenter is one of a kind; French doors/windows overlooking the garden and the ocean. The living room flows into the dinning room, the bar, and the kitchen, all in one open space separated by exotic Arabian arches. Centred in the hall is a beautiful water fountain.

We very much enjoyed our stay. The villa is very spacious and would easlly accomodate a much larger family than ours. The garden is really large with many beauiful flowering bushes, coconut palms and a large porch where we took our meals. Nearby, there are two small nice restaurants, we also used the offer to have meals prepared for us by the house-keeper. Lilia was very supportive as host...! We do miss the seas and the opportunity to just jump into the water...Rudi, Germany

On site staff was amazing; owner and property manager not so much
Owner had stated she was not on site - which we knew, however the basics weren't provided ( we checked in and left for the day; came back at night and still had no towels; toilet paper or soap)
The reason for my disappointment is; basic services that I paid for were not met – such as: breakfast was sub par until the last day. Honey is produced in Tanzania and considered a basic breakfast compliment; when we asked for; we were told honey is Not provided; (until the last day)
What was also disappointing; the owner kept blaming the on site staff which made no sense; as she has a manager who simply sailed through our guest room to fix something and didn't even have the courtesy to introduce herself.
The owner expects paying customers to be patient with mishaps because she wasn’t there; which is no excuse for bad service from a property owner yet she seemed unwilling to accommodate our simple asks (honey). I understand you are not physically present; yet you expect paying guests to be patient with your lack of service.
All meals were expected to be paid in USD cash; if and when a chef was available.
Kitchen is only available in the main house; the ‘villas’ are actually just guest rooms with a fridge. We were lucky to have a very nice family staying in the main house at the same time and were very happy to share their space in the kitchen with us.
