This was the perfect place for my 50th birthday for three families with young adult children (18-23) it was exactly what we were looking for! Every room is absolutely gorgeous and the whole house is just stunning! There were 11 of us and it was so comfortable and we had a ball. Max the host is fantastic and I was so touched as he had arranged for a birthday cake (delicious) and a bottle of bubbly on our arrival. We will definitely be returning to this property xx

10 of us had a great time in the hotel ZANZIBAR celebrating New Year. QUIRKY and fully equipped with extensive views of the sea. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Max and Katie

Excellent property for family Christmas weekend

We rented Zanzibar for a 30th and 60th birthday with 12 friends and as soon as you walk through the door, you know it’s going to be a great place to stay! The rooms are full of quirky touches, comfortable and spacious! It was nice that everyone had access to their own bathroom! The living room space downstairs works perfectly for hosting. Everything has been thought through and we had such a special weekend there! We would all thoroughly recommend staying here! Max and Rachel were great with communication and the recommendations for restaurants were spot on! Thank you for letting us stay!

The house was even better than the photos – incredibly spacious, impeccably clean, and perfect for birthday weekend. We enjoyed the hot tub, which was warmed up for our arrival, and the kitchen was ample and very well-equipped for our caterers. Thanks so much to Max for the warm welcome and we would love to come back in the future!

The venue was as described, perfect for our offsite working session. We could comfortably run a workshop / planning session for 8 people as well as it being a great social setting too. Having each room with an en suite made this a perfect venue for us. I can highly recommend.

We had such a great time. Property was beyond expectations… Max was an excellent host and brilliant with communication every with the smallest requests. We loved our stay from start to finish.

Zanzibar is lovely! In fact even better in real life than the pictures. A great house for sharing time with friends. There was 15 of us, plus a small dog, and the space felt just right. We were lucky enough to have good, mild weather (November) which meant blue skies for our lovely sea views and we could make more use of the garden space than expected. I know this won’t always be possible for guests but for our trip we were able to check in earlier and leave a bit later, which is always nice! Max gave us a warm welcome on arrival and was really lovely to deal with, right from booking to departure. A little surprise on arrival was also a nice touch. I would definitely recommend Zanzibar for a special celebration/gathering. And if you want any catering, Helen (who came recommended by Max) made us a lovely 3 course meal plus canapes. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience all round.

We had a week together, 16 family members across three generations. Beautiful rooms, all very spacious. We really loved the themes of each room; something for everyone! Great location across from beach and within walking distance of St Leonard’s, old and new Hastings. Lots of choice for eating out. Secure parking very close by, but be careful where you park in Warrior Gardens as some areas closer to house are only for 2 hours with no return for another 2 hours. Would definitely recommend and revisit.

Very well organised & lovely property. Exactly what we wanted for size & location. Max was very friendly & helpful at all times. Would certainly recommend a stay at Zanzibar

Max was fantastic throughout the booking process and was such a lovely and welcoming host. The house is amazing, easy to get to and thoughtfully put together with everything you could need. We had an amazing weekend of board games and look forward to hopefully returning in the future!

Booked for my husbands 40! LOVED the house! The most amazing host Max. He went above and beyond.. thank you for all the extra's! All 10 of us loved our stay and cant wait to come back! The views & the rooms were just stunning... even better than the pictures. The location was ideal everything you need on your doorstep! Thank you for saving us with your beautiful baked Birthday cake 🎂

We arrived at the House early and Max soon arrived with a cake in hand and a bottle of fiz and a very warm welcome and after showing us around and answering our questions he then left the house for us to explore. The house was exactly as described and in some ways better with a great hot tub that seats 4 people. Our overall stay was brilliant and the house is very close to nearby Hastings seafront and old town where there is plenty to do and see including mini golf! The house had all the amenities that you would expect and all of the bedrooms where fab and very quiet so we all had a good night's sleep. There where only a few things that came up during our stay which where as follows.... The top room shower was a little slow at warming up but the bath with waterfall filler from the ceiling was brilliant. Shower door handle was missing the screws that held it on so kept falling off. There was a leak in the kitchen when it rained but nothing major and max was aware. Some of the light switches where a little hard to find but had some fun finding out which ones went with which lights! And didn't realise the hall and stairs where on sensors. Overall I would highly recommend Zanzibar for family and friends to get together and have a great time. Thank you Max for being a great host!

Max is a great host. Real took care of everything and was readily available throughout our stay. The house is perfect for a large family or group, plenty of space and the location is perfect for Hastings. Highly recommend.

We rented Max's property for a large family gathering and we couldn't have been happier with our choice! The house and decor are of the highest standard imaginable and it is more than well-equipped with everything you could possibly need to enjoy your stay. Every single bedroom is as amazing as the next one and I guarantee that everyone in your party will be happy with where they sleep! The area itself is really lovely with plenty of restaurants, shops and bars. All in all this property is 10/10; stop searching and book it as you will not be disappointed.

Fab times with the family in a property suited to big groups who need their own space but also want to hang out. Brilliant time had by all

What a beautiful house!. Fabulous host, spotlessly clean. The rooms were unique and beautiful. The kitchen had everything needed for our stay. The outside space was lovely and hot hub great. Thank you Max, we really enjoyed our stay

We booked this property as it was a perfect fit for 16 to celebrate my wife's 60th birthday. From start to finish it was amazing. Max the owner, was always at hand via text or email. Leading up to our stay, he was very helpful answering all my questions promptly. Upon our arrival he showed us around the house and even left us a cake, prosecco and snacks which was a nice unexpected touch. The kitchen has everything you will need to cook a meal and we were also supplied with beach towels, slippers, robes and hairdryers + good quality toiletries. There is also a state of art coffee maker and a brilliant sound system All of the rooms were decorated and furnished to a high standard and the whole house exceeded our expectations. The garden was very secluded with ample seating and a large hot tub. There was 16 of us that stayed here of all ages (25 to 87) and everyone just loved this house. Great location for walking into Hastings which would take about half hour. Hastings Country park is nearby and great for walks (we were really lucky with the weather) . Underground secure for 2 cars is also available with additional free parking nearby. On the last morning, Max allowed us to stay 3 extra hours. There was a huge bike gathering which was a sight to behold and we were so pleased to be able to witness this annual event. This is the best property I have ever stayed in and anyone who stays here will not be disappointed. For a large gathering and for any special celebrations we will definitely stay here again in future.

Zanzibar is an amazing house ,so unique, full of unusual pieces of furniture and art and elaborate ornamental objects! All the rooms uniquely decorated and equipped to a very high standard, some with outstanding sea views. A lovely addition with all the extras included like the lovely white gowns and slippers and toiletries. A very well equipped double kitchen with everything you could think of . The hottub is a lovely added bonus. The location is perfect for exploring the area. Max ,the owner was super welcoming and friendly. We had the most wonderful memorable time and would have loved to stay longer ! Would highly recommend this gorgeous holiday home!

The rooms are spectacular and everything was supplied that you could need. Nice area outside to sit and eat as well as the hot tub - which was used a lot. There were 16 of us and we all had the best time. The beach is just outside the door and Hastings Old Town and St Leonards just a short walk away so very convenient. Max was very helpful and responded to all our various queries and requests.

We absolutely loved our stay at Zanzibar. The house is beautiful and the additional touches like the champagne, cake, lovely products in the bedrooms and bathrooms and robes and slippers all added to a brilliant experience. The hot tub is fab and kept clean. It was extremely spacious and every room was decorated beautifully with some lovely views of the sea. Downstairs is perfect for hosting and has a well equipped bar. We are already planning when we can next come back! Max was great and very friendly and helpful. Thank you for an amazing stay x

Great host, lovely touches from homemade cake to champagne. Great property

We enjoyed a group stay at the wonderful Zanzibar. Having a boutique hotel to yourself is a real treat. The design is well thought out and every room has is own uniqueness. The management are very welcoming and make you feel right at home from the off. Highly recommend!

I stayed here with some family and friends for my birthday celebration. The hosts of the property are so thoughtful and went over and beyond to make our celebration special. The house was both beautiful and immaculate and the location is perfect. I would highly recommend!

Max is incredible, so accommodating and very quick to respond to any questions we had. He gave us a very warm welcome when we arrived at the property and showed us around. The house is simply stunning and very clean. All bedrooms have en-suites and are beautifully decorated with their own theme. The views from the sea view rooms were nothing short of breathtaking. The beach is literally a stones throw away. There are also lots of places nearby to eat. Zanzibar hotel.. we will be back!
