Amazing location with amazing views and great hiking or mountainbiking. Very friendly staff who can also guide you with walks. Important to be aware that google maps is inaccurate. You have to drive to Muhezi from where it takes about 2.5h to reach the camp. There is a full board option. The food is good but basic so make sure to negotiate an appropriate full board rate. Accommodation is basic but nice. There are two larger bungalows which together can accommodate more than 10 people but not always in separate rooms. A third bungalow is quite small (2 people max). Be aware that currently only the main bungalow has (solar) power, and there's no fridge. The climate is quite cool at that altitude so it's not a big issue, but bring a cooler and ice if you want really chilled drinks.

This is a very special place in the mountains which exceeded our expectations! We were one of the first to book it on airbnb as it's just been put up,and are so glad we got lucky! This is truly off the beaten track, staying in a lodge on the mountain side with spectacular views, nestled among tea plantations, with many lovely hikes/walks nearby which the hosts can support with. All the villagers were extremely welcoming and the staff took really good care of us. For a little extra you can go full board (would recommend this unless you plan to cook as there are no shops or restaurants nearby) and the food was some of the best we had in Tanzania! There are currently three different cabins (or rather one is more like a lodge and the other are wooden cabins) each with its own design and character. Perhaps the most special part was opting to hike up to this place for 2 hours - with support from a guide who also helped with one of our bags. While it revealed our lack of fitness (!) it was a very memorable way to reach our accommodation...although it is possible to drive up if you ask the hosts and we used motorbike taxis to get back down at the end of our stay. Finally, we liked it so much that we then went straight on to villa matalai, the other beach side spot the owners have near Tanga, which was just as special. Overall, this mountain getaway is a good place to totally escape and switch off, and felt more like a homestay than a hotel. The owners have lived in Tanzania for decades, speak swahili and are clearly committed to supporting the local community. We couldn't have thought of a better way to transition from Arusha to the coast,and highly recommend staying at both of their places if you have time!
