Vacation rentals in Lindi Region

Very nice location in safe and friendly small village in the middle of palm trees, 5 minutes walk from nice sandy beach with local places to eat. Our host recommended many good places and provided useful information. Highly recommend!

I spent wonderful days here in a wonderful place. The room was excellent with a view of the ocean. The breakfasts and dinners were delicious with a very nice staff.

Hassani is a friendly and helpful host. Your listing is conveniently located. Being a cheap place to stay, you can't expect the comforts of resorts. Our stay was pleasant, despite the room being quite small in size, so with bulky luggage it is difficult to pass around the bed. The bedroom and bathroom have the door, while the anti-bathroom where there is a sink, is separated from the common area of the accommodation only by a tent. There is no air conditioning, but at night you can sleep well with the fan, while during the day the room is a little warm. The outdoor living room with restaurant area is the real gem of the accommodation: nice and fresh; here if you decide to be delighted by Hassani's kitchen you will enjoy excellent dishes. Unfortunately, last night there was a small misunderstanding with guests dining out, so these people used our bathroom, but Hassani immediately resolved the misunderstanding.

100% our fault but we were not able to actually stay or make it to the island. All communication and everything from the host was extremely professional and timely. 

He was very accommodating to us. And even took us to the beach on his motorcycle. Polite and friendly. When you’re in Africa at a Third World country do not expect much. Because their culture is very different from ours. We’ve been to several places and we would rate these equally. They have toilets and showers but no hot water. Sometimes they say they have Wi-Fi but they do not the electricity is spotty. Not their fault but wash their clothes and sheets in what we would call dirty water but for them it is normal. To us, their streets and tiny grocery stores would be considered filthy but remember you’re in a Third World and as long as you’re willing to accept it. The sheets towels and beds were always in good shape and very comfortable. If you are not into snorkeling to me, it was just OK or scuba diving. Or time for the whale sharks. And the only thing left to do here is to write a book, not much, but to accept the culture as it is. Felt safe, but you smile first to be friendly.

We stayed in Chole Sana for two days. We were greeted by Rajab the owner's brother who was a very nice host. The accommodation overlooks the bay of Chole and the place is very quiet. No worries about electricity. Rajab was very available, showed us around the village and even offered various activities (visit ruins on the island of Juani, lunch on a sand bank...). The diving clubs in the city of Utende that are on Mafia can even pick you up directly on Chole and take you back there. We loved our stay, you can go there without hesitation to enjoy this haven of peace.
