The property features pool and garden views, and is 600 metres from Kendwa Beach. The bed and breakfast offers a sun terrace, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi is available throughout the property. I stayed in this hotel for almost 2 weeks and had an amazing experience. Everything was perfect! The room was very comfortable and beautiful. The staff was very attentive and nice, and thanks a lot to Elizabeth, she always helped me if I had any problems or questions! She even took me to Nungwi village to the shop when I lost my charger and had to buy a new one :) And they serve the best breakfast - fresh juice, coffee/tea, a plate of fruits, pancakes, eggs in different variations, avocado toast, yoghurt and so on. Everything was delicious and I always was so full after breakfast. The location was perfect too, it takes around 7 mins to get to the beach. I would highly recommend this place for your vacation! And would definitely come back again :)

At the bed and breakfast, every unit has bed linen and towels. The house was very nice. The room was clean and had everything we needed. The breakfast was beyond our expectations, many things, all of them fresh and very tasty. Zuzanu was a very nice host! She was very helpful with everything we asked from her during our stay and was willing to tell us things about the island and her personal experiences. The location was also very convenient, 2 minutes from the sea and very close to restaurants and anything else someone might need. 100% would stay again there!!

At the bed and breakfast, rooms are equipped with a wardrobe. Rooms are complete with a private bathroom, while certain rooms at White Dream also have a balcony.

A continental breakfast is served every morning at the property. This place is outstanding! Going for a family vacation? This is your place. Going for a honeymoon? This is your place. It's a small and personal hotel (I think 12 rooms) but it has everything you might need. Our room was spacious, beautifully designed, and clean and so was the bathroom which also had good water pressure in the shower. There is a very good restaurant onsite with mostly Italian food including pizza from a wood-fired oven. There is a small bar as well (not loud) and a stunning pool from which you can watch the ocean. The staff was amazing and attentive but never too much. The beach in front of the hotel is stunning and great for morning runs or day walks. We really had an amazing time.

At the bed and breakfast, the rooms come with a balcony with pool view. All rooms include a private bathroom. All guest rooms will provide guests with a desk and a kettle. If you’re looking to experience the real Zanzibar – peaceful, welcoming, and full of character – Kiganja Retreat is a wonderful place to stay. We came as a family and were truly touched by the atmosphere and warmth of this little gem in Matemwe. The location is beautiful and calm, just a short walk from a stunning beach. The retreat is tastefully designed, with a lush garden and cozy spaces that make you feel relaxed from the moment you arrive. The food was simple but fresh and satisfying – a good match for the relaxed and homey vibe of the place. What really made our stay special was the incredible hospitality. The lovely family that runs Kiganja creates a truly warm and personal atmosphere – you feel more like a guest in a home than a tourist. This is a perfect alternative to large resorts and mass tourism. If you’re searching for a peaceful, authentic Zanzibar experience with heart – we absolutely recommend Kiganja Retreat.
