This cottage is a traditionally built Swahili house, converted into a beach cottage in 2010. This beach cottage derives its name from its quiet and private location, offering plenty of space and absolute privacy – you feel like you should be writing a book when you sit here on the terrace and gaze endlessly at the sea and beach life parading before you. In the garden you’ll find a barbecue set, sun loungers, big sofa, tables and chairs, umbrellas and hammock. It offers you some extra shelter from sun and wind under the garden’s big trees, whilst still being on the beach.

The sea comes right up to the garden gate during the high spring tides. The cottage is situated on the most un-spoilt part of the best beach in Zanzibar, with no big resorts or loud music it retains its charm. It is a perfect location for kite-surfing and snorkeling fans, beachcombers and shell hunters. The cottage has a good water and mains power supply, all the windows are secured but open and covered with Mosquito meshing offering maximum sea breeze through the house, one enters through the beach side front door into the lounge with the kitchen and toilet rooms through to the back of the building.
