Game Fish Lodge

Lesley & Collin were great hosts and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable, from a late check-in due to flights, walking into a ice cold airconditioned room, to recommendations for taxis, what to do/ to be aware of. Collin is a brilliant chef. The food was AMAZING, every single meal!!!! Best seafood dishes you can imagine, fish, prawns, crayfish, huge portions. Lesley's breakfast pancakes were delicious. You cant be closer to the sea, the pool is literally hanging over the beach. You can walk down a few steps and you are on the beach. Good quality linen, clean bedding and towels and a mosquito net. Most amazing sea views!!! The room was basic but clean. Small fridge and coffee facility.

If you wanted a beach where you can swim, you need to use a bike taxi to one of the adjacent beaches (close by) , lots of sea urchins so bring sea shoes. Door to bathroom very low so mind your head.

Fantastic dinner, world class meal prepared and served by owner. Beautifull surroundings with corral reef and sandbank offering perfect morning stroll and swim experiences.

For Africa, in this price range, not much

WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE ♡ THANKS TO THE FANTASTIC CARE OF THE OWNERS COLLIN AND LESLEY WE FELT LIKE FAMILY. FOOD PREPARED WITH LOVE REALLY TASTES GREAT. A TWO-COURSE BREAKFAST WITH PANCAKES WITH FRESH TROPICAL FRUIT, AND AS A SECOND COURSE YOU HAVE A CHOICE OF OMELETTES, EGGS, SAUSAGES, ETC., WILL FILL YOU WITH ENERGY FOR THE ENTIRE DAY AND YOU CAN LOOK FORWARD TO A GREAT DINNER OF FRESH FISH OR CHICKEN. IT'S A QUIET PLACE WHICH REALLY IMPRESSED US WITHOUT BEACHBOYS AND MASSAI TO HURRY YOU ON THE BEACH. IN THE NEARBY, YOU CAN VISIT BUSY PLACES AND SUBMERGE INTO THE MIX OF NIGHT ENTERTAINMENT, BUT THEN YOU RETURN TO AN OASIS OF CALM, WHERE YOU ONLY HEAR THE RHYTHMIC SOUND OF THE OCEAN, WHICH WILL SLEEP YOU BEAUTIFULLY. WE ARE IN ZANZIBAR FOR THE THIRD TIME AND WE ARE GLAD THIS ACCOMMODATION DOES NOT ALLOW SEX TOURISM. THE ADVANTAGE IS ALSO THE SWIMMING POOL WITH CLEAN WATER, WHICH YOU WILL ENJOY USING AT LOW TIDE TIME. IT'S A Pity THAT WE ONLY BOOKED 2 NIGHTS. WE WILL DEFINITELY STAY LONGER NEXT YEAR. THANK YOU.

Unique accommodation with fabulous views. Hosts Lesley and Colin went above and beyond to take care of us. We loved every minute and can't wait to go back. Such a beautiful spot, close to local restaurants and bars. Colin's fish menu definitely worth sampling. This is a very special place.

There was nothing we didn't enjoy.

Great view of the sea, comfortable room with good bathroom , and a lovely pool, excellent breakfast

Over -sharing host verging on the rude

View on the ocean is quite charming Property is rather quiet which is nice

Run down and everything is a bit “rusty” Breakfast stops at 9:30 which is really early for vacation and the food is British / American which is difficult for people who hate a full cooked breakfast or pancakes Cleaning of the room is only every 3 days The owner (Collin) is particular and partly extremely rude

The place is very special and therefore might not be right for everyone. I typically don't write reviews, but as the place is so special (and as I just missed a flight ;)) I would like to help directing the right people into the place: Come here if you are looking for: - a very personal experience with your hosts. After a very short time you will rather feel like visiting friends than being at a hotel. - amazing self-cooked food. Breakfast and dinner is also just like friends cooking for you. Collin is an amazing chef. Try his tuna steak. You will get cheaper offers for dinner in local restaurants, but in terms of quality and quantity they can't compete with Collin. Mind that Collin might not cook every night for you (e.g. when rugby is on), so talk early to him when you want to eat at the lodge. - a calm and spacious place in which you can sit directly at the sea in an exclusivity you will not have in all the nearby high-end hotels. You will have a huge property almost for your own. - very nice other guests. People are chilled and it's true what's written in the other reviews. Collin kicks out people who spread negative vibes ;-) - great views and a lonely sandbank. From the sand beach and pool terrace on the rocks right next to the sea and from the terraces of your bungalow you will have amazing views to the sea. Don't come here if you are looking for: - "Zanzibari 5-star service" in which you have a waiter every 5 meters serving you a cocktail and cleaners cleaning your room twice per day. It's just the 2 people owning the place and 1 employee. - A new hotel with a lot of standardization which was just build 1-2 years ago. The place was built over the past 20 years by the owners. Collin used to be in the construction industry himself so everything is built nicely. He does not like edges and standardization, so you will not feel like in a branded hotel. - Sand beaches to swim. Go to the west side of Nungwi.

Amazing in every way. Amazing views, amazing location, amazing hosts, amazing food, amazing value, by staying over at game fish, you are about 25 min walk from the bars etc. This means you get to walk through the village streets. High five the local kids. Chat to the locals. (incredibly friendly and totally safe) or walk along the beach, depending on the tide. And if you don't want to walk back. Jump on the back of a motorbike. And for 80p each get safely back. (I've never been on the back of a motorbike before, and it really isn't a problem), which is another great experience in itself. We absolutely loved the place.

Everything was amazing

The location is a plus for this property! It has amazing views. The owners were very helpful and welcoming at any moment needed. The breakfast every morning was delicious!
