Pweza Beach Bungalows Reviews

Description

The beachfront location of Pweza (Octopus in Swahili) is perfect for a Zanzibar beach vacation. Each Rustic bungalow has gorgeous sea views from the large, furnished patios. The rooms feature large double or twin beds, with fresh white linens and quality pillows, mosquito nets, bug spray, ensuite bathroom, tea & coffee making facilities, a small DVD and book library and a secure lock box. The Pweza Restaurant & Bar specializes in Seafood, offering the cheapest lobster in Zanzibar along with a range of fresh, locally sourced products. Breakfast is free and served right on the beach daily. The terrace has large hammocks among the garden of fresh fruit & vegetables we grow for our guests. We offer snorkeling and fishing trips from the beach, bike hire and amazing dhow sunset cruises. While we don't currently offer free WiFi, it is available just along the beach at Upendo Beach Club, a fantastic place to relax, eat & drink.

The location, Michamvi Peninsula, is gorgeous. One of the few places you can see Indian Ocean sunrise and sunset within a 5 minute drive of each beach. The beach at Pingwe where we are located features some of Zanzibar's top attractions, yet still maintains its village beach charm. The Rock is the most famous, just 100m along the beach from Pweza, then there's the snorkeling, swimming & fishing in the lagoon right outside. Sunset and sunset cruises are just a 10 minute bike ride away in Michamvi Kae.

Location and Contact

Location

• Michamvi is easy to get to with good instructions, so here they are:
• Daladalas (small buses) are the local transport of choice and for next to nothing they can take you everywhere on the island. Or you can hire one of the local bicycles, scooters or just take a taxi. To get to Pweza Beach you can either take a Daladala or taxi. By Daladala (local bus). Simply take the MICHAMVI 340 Daladala from Mwanakwerekwe (opposite the market). You can reach there by taxi from the airport (15,000 shillings) or the ferry terminal (phone number hidden) shillings). Take the daladala all the way to Michamvi Pingwe and get off at The Rock Restaurant Sign. All Daladala drivers know it. Walk to the beach and you will find us about 100 metres to the north of The Rock. The entire journey will take around 1.5 hours and will cost you around 2,000 Shillings (just over $1USD).
• By Taxi. Taking a taxi from the airport, ferry or downtown Stone Town will cost you $50USD. Please contact us via email or call us to arrange one of our trusted guys to meet you and bring you to Pweza. The entire journey should take around an hour.
