Mysigt litet hotell direkt på stranden
Fantastiskt mysigt litet hotell mitt på den vackra långa vita stranden i Matemwe. Smakfullt inredda rum, mysigt i restaurang och lounge, lugn och skön miljö. Jättetrevlig personal och ägare gör stämningen inbjudande och familjär. Supergod mat och frukost. God fika Kl 16 varje dag är en så trevlig sak som gästerna bjuds på varje dag. På rummen finns även en fin sarong, strandhandduk, solhatt och strandväska att låna medan man är där. En riktig oas att längta tillbaka till!
