This was a nice property very close to the beach. The owner was super nice and involved. He showed us around and showed us where to eat in the area. The only downside was the shower which had salty water so when you showered it was like showering with ocean water.

Great spot, value for money

Really good place near the beach. It was difficult to lock the room but that was my only negative feedback. It was a wonderful place.

Zwei Wochen Jambiani 🇹🇿 Ich suchte nach einem recht anstrengenden Jahr Erholung , Ruhe, gutes Essen …. Und einen schönen Strand auf Zanzibar. Ich habe alles gefunden - im Stonefish Inn in Jambiani. Dieses kleine Guesthouse ist süß. Sehr persönlich und familiär. Der Inhaber immer um das Wohl seiner Gäste bemüht. Wer Luxus sucht , ist hier aber definitiv falsch. Mich erwartete eins von drei hübschen Zimmern. Ein bequemes Bett mit Mosquito- Netz. Ventilator über dem Bett . Das Bad landestypisch eingerichtet und gross. Das Frühstück immer einen Teller frische Früchte und wer will Pancakes 🥞 Diese nach Wahl süss oder herzhaft. Aber immer fein 😋 Dazu afrikanischen Kaffee oder schwarzen Tee ☕️ Die Küche ist unglaublich gut. Hatte je nach Hunger mal eine frische Tomatensuppe oder gegrillten Fisch 🐟 Soooo lecker 😋 Die Karte ist klein und fein . Die Preise höchst angenehm. Ich habe morgens mit Said mein Dinner besprochen und es war dann jeweils um 18:00 Uhr bereit. 🌴 Der Strand , drei Minuten zu Fuss entfernt , ist ein Traum. Viele Kilometer weißer Sand … Türkises Meer 🌊 Dieses aber mit einer starken Tide . Dennoch reicht es immer zum Baden . Bei Vollmond hat man dann auch richtig High Tide mit traumhaften Wellen. Im Dorf Jambiani findet man kleine Geschäfte mit Lebensmitteln und Dingen für den täglichen Gebrauch. Aber auch handgemachte Geschenke. Es lohnt sich mal schauen zu gehen 🎁 Meine gut zwei Wochen hier waren absolut entschleunigend.
