A home away from home. The place is very remote and quiet. For nature lovers, it is a real paradise. Coconut crabs right on the property and many bush babies around at night. Food is excellent and staff very friendly and helpful. We went there to do our scuba certification and Mike the owner is the best teacher you can have. We stayed a week but wish we could have stayed longer.

We are 3 birders. We booked this property due to its close proximity to the nature reserve. We only had to hire a guide for one night to get the Pemba Scops owl which is common nearby in the reserve. All other endemics were easily found on the property plus Dickinsons Kestrel and on property nesting African Goshawk spp Pembaensis . Thanks to the owner , Mike , for solving everything with a big smile. Coconut Crab sighting with Mike was a bonus. Food is excellent..fresh seafood daily.

The owner, Mike, went out of his way to make us feel welcome and have a magic Pemba experience. Although basic and rustic, the resort had a pleasant feel to it with beautiful views, awesome sunsets and excellent diving.

We had a great time! The room is comfortable and the food really excellent. We don't dive but want to do lots of snorkelling. Sometimes dive places treat snorkellers like a pain but we were treated really well here. We were dropped with our own guide at great locations for snorkelling rather than wherever the divers were going. Absolutely recommend for snorkelling! The house reef has amazing corals and lots of reef fish. The guides are knowledge and safe. The location is quiet and has lots of natural vegetation so it's shady and cool, with lots of wildlife. They have coconut crabs onsite and work with the community to protect them. Lots of birds in the grounds (we saw all the endemic, inc pemba scops owl) and flying fox. The staff, especially Mike, were so helpful and couldn't do enough for us. Lots of hammocks and other places to sit with a beautiful view over the sea and the sunset

Diving and boats right in the hotel. The owner Mike brings you around to all the spors. The restaurant is one of the best in Pemba with very tolerable prices. Don t miss this option if you are in Pemba.

I can't image a better guide and a better diving experience than the what the Swahili Divers Gecko Lodge provided. And it even incuded fishing on the way to the amazing dive spots. The coral reefs around are some of the most beautiful I've seen and in very good condition. The servicemindedness of both management and the staff was excellent. The food was great, without exception throughout the week. It's a nature lodge, beeing quite spartan in it's style, missing some comforts, but if you looking primarily for exquisite diving and some peace and quite then this is the place for you. Spending late afternoons sitting on the sofas on the beach front porch watching fantastic sunsets every evening was perfect after the daily boat excursions.

Petit déjeuner de bonne qualité. Les repas sont excellents. Le ménage est fait tous les jours. Proximité de la mer. Centre de plongée bien équipé et axé sur la sécurité (Soufi est un super guide de plongée). Merci à Mike pour sa gentille attention en fin de séjour.

Le lodge est situé au milieu de la nature et face à la mer. Les couchers de soleil sont à couper le souffle. L'accueil est chaleureux. Le dortoir et les chambres spacieux et très propres. Et les repas sont parfaits. Michael, le propriétaire, est d'un grand professionnalisme et d'une grande pédagogie pour les plongées. C'était seulement ma 2ème plongée, tout s'est parfaitement passé et j'en ai pris plein les yeux. Grâce à sa gentillesse extrême et à la bienveillance de Jenipher qui veille sur tout, j'ai passé l'un des meilleurs anniversaire de ma vie. Je reviendrai au Geckolodge à Pemba pour passer le brevet de plongée avec le centre Swahili Divers et Michael en maître de plongée en qui on peut avoir une confiance absolue.
