Announcements

I have just spent 2 wonderful weeks at James Guest House Nungwi. Even though it was rainy season it was still a really good time and for me even better as there were fewer tourists to normal. Special prices on everything are possible during this time. 

 Great bargains can be had at James's, but even at the original price the rooms are really value for your money, especially with such newly reburbished rooms and crisp clean bed linen. 

His breakfasts of eggs and fresh fruits and bread or chapati were excellent. 

There was a safe to keep my things secure and a non stop friendly feel to the place which as a single female traveller is extremely important.

I can recommend James Guest House to anyone, in or out of season it is a real bargain. Thanks James for your hospitality and hard work to ensure that we enjoyed ourselves. 

James Guest House is now called Papaya Guest House
