10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
We had mostly unfortunate weather during our stay in Matemwe, which was a shame (and please note that the rain does not enter the villa, even during heavy storms, unlike one previous reviewer's comments). But the villa is stunning, Matemwe as a location is the least spoilt and developed of all the main beaches in the north of Zanzibar, and Natalia is a wonderful host. The photos don't really do it justice. The beachfront location means that when the sun is out, the best place to be is lying on the deck just above the beach. Do visit Stone Town and especially the night market (don't bother with Prison Island). Do take a boat trip for the amazing snorkelling. And do visit a spice farm (Big Body spice farm was great).

The house is gorgeous in its simplicity. And the grounds are
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2024
The word Paradise sums up the description for this property. The location directly on the beach is unparalleled. There are plenty of places to eat in walking distance as well as some water sports and massage places.
The property manager and chef took great care of us and made sure everything was taken care of. Checkin & checkout were seemless.
6 / 10Average·Feb 2024
The property is literally on the beach, the most incredible location , very quiet and tranquil. Swimming pool, lounger chairs overlooking the beach. You can walk along the beach, there are a few places to have lunch/ drinks within 5-10 mins. The chef is amazing and cooks the most incredible meals for you. Check in very easy and very helpful host.
One point to note is the house does not have any windows , so if you are there in rainy season like we were it can get very damp and our clothes and shoes were all covered in mould as they could not air and no cupboards.
The verandah is also unusable in the rain as it floods.
Note the floor indoors and outdoors is very slippery and not suitable for toddlers, our little one had some very bad falls.
Overall the most amazing location but just few points as mentioned to note depending on time of travel!
