What is the food like and how long would you recommend I stay?
The food at Pongwe, like so many other aspects, punches way above its price category. The owner Val is a keen foodie himself and has gone to great lengths to ensure that everything is just right. We would recommend a stay of a week or longer, however be warned this is a quiet little lodge and might not be suited to everyone. It is also one of the more difficult lodges to get space due to its phenomenal popularity and enviable reviews. Early booking is essential as this lodge often books a year or so in advance.
$$Prices for Pongwe Beach Hotel start at: $120 per person per night, including breakfast and evening meal, during Low Season.

Pongwe Beach Hotel - The Details
Pongwe Beach hotel sits in a private bay on the east coast of Zanzibar just an hour’s drive from Stone Town. The beautiful beach is swept daily before even the earliest of birds wake for their morning cup of tea. Morning refreshment is delivered freshly to your door step by the attentive and touchingly proud team at Pongwe. Nothing is a problem here and they host so confidently that you can see the pleasure in the faces and actions of each and every member of the team. This is a guest house with a difference, the staff are loyal and in many cases have been at Pongwe for the best part of a decade, resulting in a finely tuned service and as mentioned, a proud and happy team hosting your stay.
