OceanView Villa and Bungalows for a Vacation Rental in Zanzibar

You are Here: › OceanView Villa and Bungalows

As a family with 4 children ages 15,14,12,and 9 plus my mother was travelling with us.

We spent 10 nights at Oceanview villa vacation rental in Zanzibar Tanzania. The staff were OK.

The beach and garden were nice. The gardener did a nice job with that.

The house could do with a good clean.

Not a lot of that was going on while we where there.

The power was constantly going off and the generator didn't work. We had to ask for lamps/candles and matches.

Which seemed to be put away in a safe place every night.

So we bought our own.

There is bottled water to buy. But at the end of our stay I think the water bottles were being refilled from the well. When we asked the staff to show us the sealed water bottles. There were none in the house. Plus the kids were feeling a little off.


We were hoping for some fresh fish and seafood but only received frozen. The cooking after awhile tasted all the same.

Some dishes were nice but I thought very expensive.

One large bowl of pasta with meat sauce for 3 adults and 4 children was US$75.00. I think that is a lot for a ordinary home cooked meal.

In saying that the untensils/ appliances in the kitchen are very limited. The breakfast of pancakes which were really crepes every morning became a bit much.

They were always served half an hour before we asked. So very cold gluppy crepes and rock hard toast for 10 days become frustrating.

The fresh fruit was nice and the table set on the patio every morning was lovely.


It was a very relaxing place to stay. We as a family love to read and play board games all day .

The front patio was prefect for that. But to read and play games at night was nearly impossible.

Even if the power was on the lighting was very dim. Thanks goodness we had head torchs.


We ended up washing our towels as they smelled awful.

The pillows on the beds need to be replaced.

They stunk of stale sweat and you wouldn't want to put your head on them. No soap in the bathrooms.


Lots of little things that could be easily rectified could make this a very enjoyable stay
