Fantastic service, staff friendly and helpful. Nikki has done everything in her power to help, make us feel at home and provide information, help and support. Martin very friendly and efficient. Gardens and houses kept in perfect clean condition by very efficient staff. Chef very knowledgeable and although he didn't cook for us, we heard that his food is excellent.

Nice apartment right in front of the kiwengwa beach; 1 minute walk, you can reach the sea. Rooms are simple in decoration but has everything you need, especially the full equipped kitchen Front yard is very sweet with table &chairs and a hanging hammock. You can enjoy a simple breakfast and breeze at night in the yard. Very comfortable home staying experience.

Location , right on the beach. The house was very comfortable, with everything you need, and the owner was really nice, always trying to make our stay better.

An amazing gem of a place! The location is right on the beach, which is very quiet and it feels like you have it all to yourself. The apartment is very well equipped and comfortable. A short walk away there are some hotels and restaurants on the beach. A walk into the village brings you to a store where you can buy food and drinks if you want to cook. A very nice Italian restaurant delivers to the apartments, with great pizza, gelato and coffee. You can also book activities such a snorkeling, kite surfing, boat trips, etc. The owners of Surfescape Beachfront Apartments, Marco and Niki, are so friendly and helpful. This is a paradise if you want to relax on an amazing beach!

A really great place to relax, enjoy the local food and spend some quality time at the beach. Our host Alfia, was extremely helpful with all of our requests. There's a van with a driver available to all the guests. You can also have a local chef prepare you a fantastic dinner or lunch for a small fee (highly recommend) in the comfort of you apartment.

Surfescape

Surfescape beachfront apartments are your home on the spice island. The comfort of a well equipped kitchen, the privacy of a lush garden directly on the beach. Life goes by with the tide under the shadow of ancient palm trees. Karibu Zanzibar!

I am water sport enthusiast, running the watersports centre and the the apartments. I escaped from European stressfull timetables and now welcoming tourist on the beautiful island!

Supermarket Pambaland is well stocked and located about 10 minutes walking distance. Hotels, restaurants and bars are just 5 minutes walking distance. Kitesurfing can be organized directly on the beach in front of your apartment. Capital city Stonetown is 1 hour driving from our property. Mnemba atoll is only 30 minutes by car.

A daytrip set up by the Surfescape team to Prison Island was not well setup at all, and as a result we did not follow through with the daytrip even though we had paid for it in advance. We were not reimbursed. Having said that, a daytrip to a spice farm and Stone Town also setup by the Surfescape team, was well coordinated and very enjoyable. Despite the fact that the Stone Town guide was not as knowledgeable as one would expect, he was very friendly.
It’s location right on the beach! Alfiia, Martin and the rest of the team were very serious about making our stay as enjoyable as possible and definitely went the extra mile!

The apartment block consists of 4 smaller entities on the ground floor and 2 larger ones on the 1st floor. While the first floor apartments are quite new and modern, the ground floor ones are very basic. (Kitchen and bathroom). That's clearly not luxury, but still mostly clean and comfortable. The pictures are misleading since they are a mix of the modern and basic apartments. Biggest disappointment was the size of the apartment. We rented the 75m2 one, but that was max. 35m2, the rest is 'terrace / private garden'. That should be made very clear. Since the terraces are facing east without much shade, having breakfast outside is somehow difficult in the hot period of the year. That's really sad.
The staff is very supportive and tried to find solutions for everything. They even bought a baby cod for our little one. The location is directly on a quiet beach, a few 100 meters away one can find decent dining options of local restaurants and hotels / resorts. It's a good place for people seeking calm and quiet holidays. Kitesurfing is possible, the owner runs a Kiteschool located at a different spot, but can arrange material to be delivery to the apartment.

“Overall simple but conformable home-feel apartment right in front of sea. Well worth the price.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children

Location was at the back of a school; difficult to locate Check in was hard as there's no contact number left to me. I contacted the number on booking.com but no one answered and the number was from Italy. During my entire stay, one owner came in to say Hi and the rest of the time I mainly dealt with a Masai guy who stays next to our apartment. But I hope the owner would inform me about him for check-in earlier. The local market needs some walk to reach; and the nearby village for fruits/vegetables wasn't quite sincere.
Nice apartment right in front of the kiwengwa beach; 1 minute walk, you can reach the sea. Rooms are simple in decoration but has everything you need, especially the full equipped kitchen Front yard is very sweet with table &chairs and a hanging hammock. You can enjoy a simple breakfast and breeze at night in the yard. Very comfortable home staying experience.

Definitelly we recommend this place :)
