Situated in Nungwi, within 500 metres of Supermarket and less than 1 km of East Africa Diving, MITI Beach Bungalows features accommodation with a garden and free WiFi throughout the property as well as free private parking for guests who drive.

After a month of traveling around Africa, this place was our home away from home for two weeks. For an affordable price, we got everything we needed and more. Juma, the receptionist, always greeted us with a smile on his face and was happy to assist with anything we needed in and outside of the hotel. Augustino, the manager, is practically a local and helped us plan our itinerary throughout our stay. Rooms were cleaned and tidied every morning, and laundry services and a restaurant were provided in the hotel. Pool was perfect temperature, and we could even swim at night thanks to beautiful pool lights. The location is a 5 minute walk from the beautiful Nungwi beach, and right next to the local "Cocobello" club. Miti is beautiful, quiet, and intimate, and we are already planning our next trip!

It's possible to order brekfasts. There's also an outdoor kitchen with a big fridge. It is kept clean. I stayed only for three days but I enjoyed it very much! Asante sana The way from the main road to Frangipani House is bumpy but possible by a crossover or jeep. It's worth renting a car.

    The property is set within beautiful surroundings and in close proximity to a stunning beach with a beach restaurant. The villas are private and relaxing. The food was incredible, we ate at the beach restaurant every day, and the staff were exceptional. Special shout out to Eva who taught us some Swahili and always welcomed us with a smile. They all made our stay so much more enjoyable.

The access to the beach was superb and the pool area was very welcoming. The location away from the larger resorts suited the holiday we were after, and it was easy to walk or drive to the village as needed. We will definitely recommend to others to stay here!

    First thing is first: Paul (the receptionist) was the best host we ever had, anywhere. The amount of care and comfort he provided was invaluable. Rooms were nice, AC working all the time was needed and power outages were really short and unnoticeable. The shortcut to the beach was about 100m, and the village life was booming. Thanks LightOfZanzibar, but greatest thank to Paul, for a lot of things and being so forthcoming for our needs. Neša & Red
