A completely relaxing getaway on Nungwi beach, away from the crowds and on the beach - highly recommended for solo travelers if you want to get away from the tourist groups. The restaurant and complimentary breakfast was also of the highest quality, and the owners and managers provide excellent local advice.

I had a really enjoyable and relaxing one-week stay at Flame Tree Cottages. The property is very picturesque, well-maintained and situated right beside the beach. The owners Elizabeth and Seif are very helpful (e.g. organising day trips with tour operators etc) and welcoming, and the staff are very friendly. Yoga with Cia in the morning is a brilliant way to start the day. Really nice pool to relax at and keep cool during the day. Overall, a great place to re-charge. Many thanks to all the team at Flame Tree Cottages

Paradise at its best!!! What an amazing stay we had at Flame Tree Cottages. All staff were just so hospitable throughout our 10 night stay. We stayed in Rose Cottage which was just beautiful - only a couple of steps from the gorgeous beach. We had a few evening meals which were just yummy.... Flame Tree is just perfect if you want to relax, and recharge your batteries. We loved having breakfast on our veranda, felt so romantic! We felt really safe here too which is important. The managers, Elizabeth and Seif are great hosts and run a fantastic team which makes your stay so enjoyable. Felt really sad to leave not just Flame Tree but Zanzibar itself. We will certainly be returning... thank you to everyone for making our stay so wonderful. We miss you all 😍

Absolutely blissful stay! The staff is so nice, always smiley and helpful. The property is stunning, with beautiful gardens and scenery - the pool is perfect too! We highly enjoyed the gardens and the surroundings, the beach is just there! The sea is so amazing and beautiful, a piece of heaven. Our room Lime was very nice, with water heater and a safe. The breakfast was served in our small terrasse, what a delight. Wifi worked excellent !!! The restaurant food is so good! And at good prices. Seriously, our stay was perfect in this place that I can only recommend and we would without a doubt stay here again. A couple of improvement points: 1. There is usually no one at the reception so it can be a tidbit tricky at times to get assistance. But assistance ultimately gets to you and its perfect. 2. A bit pricey in the end…

We stayed at Flame Tree Cottages for 12 days during January 2020. Our rooms were named Guava and Lime. Wonderful staff with Mr Kombo as a remarkable representative. He did always his best and cared about all customers well beeing. Exceeded our expectations every day!! Owner Mr Seif and his wife Elizabeth were very kind and the way they manage their hotel is top class. Cottages were clean and tidy, beds a bit on the hard side. Breakfast on the terrace in front of your cottage. (Be aware that somedays it takes roughly an hour to get your food.) Restaurant had a good choice of different cuisine and if asked they could always do something for the kids. Pool was clean, large and deep, needs a better pH and chlorine level since it was not clear. Garden was very neat and tranquil. A/C in rooms were effective. Turndown service with mosquito reppelent and mosqutio nets beeing taken down was also nice. Lovely sunsets by the resaturant. When heavy raining the road outside the hotel becomes flooded with no way to pass it without getting wet unless you are in a car. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone thinking about staying in Nungwi. As a matter of fact our friends already booked for autumn 2020!…

We are very happy that you enjoyed your stay with us and we certainly enjoyed hosting you and your family. We have happy memories of your visit. Apologies about the wait for breakfast and we take this comment on board so that we can improve our service to our guests. January is our busiest time of the year and all our rooms were occupied with many guests wishing breakfast at the same time which can be challenging for the chef. Seif and myself wish you and your family a very happy and prosperous 2020. Kind regards Seif & Elizabeth
