Gorgeous 1-bedroom garden apartment in Fumba Town

This beautiful and well-furnished apartment is filled with light and art and is located in gorgeous Fumba Town, a residential haven right by the Indian Ocean. Our apartment is designed for comfort, joy and peace while being fitted with all the modern amenities you would need for a holiday or for a work trip; including good WiFi.

Walk by the ocean, watch the fishermen bring in their catch of the day.. take in the ocean breeze. You are home.

We are fortunate to have a ground floor corner apartment, which comes with a small lovely garden.

To get around and about you have the option of taking the local transport daladalas, there are different routes all originating and ending in Stone town. The daladalas that get to Fumba town are those written Nyamanzi; get off at the last stage and walk about 1km to the apartment complex. Or, at a modest fee, get a boda boda rider to drive you to the entrance gate.

You may opt for taxi services and getting a great cab driver, reliable and knowledgeable will transform your exploring experiences. We can recommend the taxi drivers we know, who are affordable and have been in the island all their lives and are thus a treasure of knowledge, history, and bureaucracies.

If you prefer independence and a cost-effective way of getting around, you may hire a car. You will need a Zanzibari temporary driving licence to drive on the roads. Apply for the permit at the Zanzibar Revenue Authority motor vehicle department. It costs about $10 and you’ll need your valid driving licence plus photocopies and two passport photos to apply.

Things to do around Fumba town

You can enjoy the cool vibe in the town complex. The seashore is half a kilometer away, feel free to take a walk, stroll, or hike. There is a good 1.5 km track you can use back and forth parallel to the shoreline.

Turn right after the gate and you can check out the tide coming in or leaving. While it is not ideal for swimming like other beaches, it is wonderful to see the fishermen and local community keeping busy whether it’s fishing, seaweed harvesting and so on.

There are kiosks shops around the area, about 1km in Nyamanzi to get basic supplies. For supermarkets you will have to go closer to Zanzibar city.

While we don’t live in Fumba Town, we are available online and on phone. The housekeeper is also available on phone.

Our apartment is located in Fumba Town, a novel residential development located in the fishing village of Nyamanzi in South West Zanzibar. We are off the tourist path and it is peaceful and surrounded by a largely rural farming and fishing community. The Indian Ocean is 200 metres from the apartment and the sunsets over the water are extravagantly gorgeous.

There's a restaurant that serves delicious and affordable Zanzibari food, a coffee cafe with tasty pastries as well as a medical clinic all within Fumba Town. There is also a supermarket as well as a butcher shop. It's 30 minutes drive to stone Town and around 2 hours to Nungwi in the north and 1.5 hours to Jambiani in the south.

There’s construction work on-going in Fumba Town sometimes but that quietens down after 6.30pm. Zanzibar also has occasional power outages. Sometimes these outages are scheduled and when we are informed in advance, we let the guests know.

If you have a self-drive car, there is a security clearance at the entrance gate, after which you can access free parking right outside the apartment. the parking spaces are many though not designated to any particular apartment.

To get around and about you have the option of taking the local transport daladalas, there are different routines all originating and ending in Stone town. The closest daladalas to get to Fumba town are those written Nyamanzi, get off at the last stage and walk about 1-2kms to the apartment complex.

You may opt for taxi services and getting a great cab driver, reliable and knowledgeable will transform your exploring experience. We can recommend taxi drivers we know, with good affordable taxi services and have been in the island all their lives and are a treasure of knowledge, history, and bureaucracies

This is a friendly home in which everybody is welcome and will be treated with respect. We love the diversity of human life and experiences and this is reflected in how we host every guest.

1. There’s construction work on-going in Fumba Town sometimes but that quietens down after 6.30pm.
2. Zanzibar also has occasional power outages. Sometimes these outages are scheduled and when we are informed in advance, we let the guests know.
3. Zanzibar is a tropical island with lush flora and fauna. Therefore, there may be the occasional bugs that make it into the apartment.
Welcome to our lovely home in Zanzibar. We call this little pad Raha Love and she’s our holiday home. We are glad to share our home with you.

Fans and air conditioning
Zanzibar is quite warm so the home has been fitted with both ceiling fans and air conditioning units in both the living room and the bedroom. These cooling facilities consume a lot of electric energy. So:
1. Turn on the AC only when needed.
2. Do remember not to keep the AC running all night and
3. Switch off the fans and the AC when you leave the house.

Water
Clean water is a scarce and expensive resource on the island. Please use this resource with care and conservation.

House keys
Kindly ensure you always leave the apartment with the keys. The door does not open from the outside without the keys.
