What a wonderful place, we had a great time here. My husband and I travelled with our two 20 month old children and a friend and stayed for 9 days. We stayed in Mr. Todays and loved every minute of it. The house was just lovely, airy, spacious and clean. The rooms and beds were great and we enjoyed the... More

We stayed at Mr Todays in October 2011 for 10 nights. We chose the place initially for its location and the excellent communication I had with Ian Rodger when enquiring. We were after somewhere that was secluded, private and relaxing with the option to go out in the evenings for drinks and food and this villa gave it all to... More

All of the lodges were beautiful and the last one - Zanzibar Villas - was sublime. What a nice surprise when arriving late a BBQ was arranged and waiting for us. We were so not looking forward to doing shopping or look for a restaurant late at night. Really top service. The accommodation at Zanzibar Villas were lovely and the... More

We stayed at the Secret Garden villa for three nights in June 2011. It wasn't as clean as expected as the kitchen and bedrooms only seemed to be cleaned on the surface. The cutlery, crockery and electronic devices were covered in dirt and grime. The top bedroom's mattress smelled of old urine and had a flea/bug infestation. The downstairs single... More

We stayed at both the Today's and Secret Garden in Paje and loved both of them. Paje itself is a gorgeous place. White sands, bathwater warm sea which is close to the village which makes it very convenient. When we went it was low season and remarkably peaceful and surprisingly untouristy. Bliss! Our stay at the Zanazibar villas was great.... More

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful stay at the Beach Retreat, The welcome package was super too as we arrived late in the day and no time for shopping, Mr. Ali picked us up at the airport and brought us to the cottage, 5 minutes later we were in the warm night sea, just outside our front door Wow!...

We stayed with 5 people in Secret garden last January for a week and we had a fantastic experience. The house has 5 bedrooms and three bathrooms which makes it excellent for friends travelling together and good value for your money. Especially the bedroom and bathroom on the roof are very special and a unique experience. The house is basic... More

We stayed in Secret garden during christmas time, six adults and three small children. We booked our stay six months earlier and we were very excited about Secret garden. It seemed like a quite luxurious place to stay, big and spacious with a nice garden, close to the sea. Simple, but comfortable. Our small family, two adults, two kids, went... More

I think this is a great shame that these clients have chosen to voice their negative views on this site without first at least e-mailing me. To put my side of the situation The clients were correct in their initial disappointment in the villas state when they arrived, it had not been cleaned properly, the linen was not in the... More

We recently spent a week in one of the Bushman's villas. It was glorious. We were 4, including 2 seventeen year old teenagers. We all enjoyed the clean swimming pool a lot. We were very impressed with the quality of furniture, kitchen appliances, loved the ambiance, inside of the villa as well as outside of the villa. The local manager,... More

As a group of 9 adults, we occupied both villas on the compound with the pool, so it was as if we had our own resort. Between the villas there is a large banda with grills, a bar, and a large table. Plus the clean and clear pool with night time lighting. We spent a great deal of time relaxing... More
