Very spacious, close to airport. With Tony's airport pickups, it becomes an excellent option for Dar transits at odd hours. Tony and Janet are significant travellers in their respective professions, so they are good at anticipating last-minute requirements for (e.g.) beers, bananas, dinner, etc. We communicated conveniently via WhatsApp.

So happy we chose this place -- the owner is absolutely lovely, and greeted us at 2am after our late-night flight, and then cooked breakfast for us later that morning. She even arranged for a taxi to meet us at the airport, which hugely simplified things for us. The place is also so cute!

    The staff was extremely friendly and did make you feel like you were at someone's home. Me, the staff, and some guests ended up staying for almost two hours after dinner just talking. Dinner was also traditional East African food at a good price. The rooms were comfortable, the AC worked, good water pressure, and great wifi. Everything you could want from a homestay lodge. I had an early morning flight and they had even gave me a to-go bag with breakfast.
