Mozambeat is a charming little hideout. Perfect spot to start your exploration of the Tofo area. The staff was friendly and helpful when suggesting things to do in the area. They have a nice area where guests can mingle over breakfast or late afternoon drinks. Went over low season so missed out on their famous parties and movie nights but enjoyed their ocean safari discount offer they have with PeriPeri divers which was worthwhile and one of the best afternoons in my stay. Highly recommend staying here. Maybe an improvement would be having a tuktuk service or bicycles for guests to rent to explore the rest of Tofo as the long walks into town or the beach did get quite tiring days later.

Ola Ivy! Thank you so much for staying with us at Mozambeat Motel and your kind words. Unfortunately tuktuks and bicycles don't really work here, as there is too much sand... That is why we offer a taxi service ;-) We hope to welcome you an other time again in our little piece of paradise! Best wishes, Sisi & Ray

Great clean unique spot that is quiet and calm. The food is not great and expensive though and it is a bit of a walk to town, ~25 min.

Nice place!
Nice clean place. It was very quiet during our stay as there were only 2-4 cabins booked. We almost felt we had the whole place to our selves. Breakfast was nice. The rest of the Food was some days good and some days alright, it wasn’t consistent. The walls are very thin so we can easily hear people talk or walk close to the cabin. We were a family of 5, with 3 young kids. We easily walked to the beach and center of the city everyday (30 min kids Pace). We enjoyed it as we could encounter locals and their homes.

Thank you for staying with us and taking the time to review Mozambeat Motel :) We love making our guests feel at home and believe that a large part of that is our aesthetic, funky, fun decor and friendly atmosphere. We also think our restaurant is delicious! Between our talented chefs and the easy access of fresh seafood our menu is always tasty, but we will definitely share your comment with our chefs. We hope to welcome you again in our tropical oasis,

Very funky vibe throughout and excellent music at the bar. Naomi and Carlos were great but the rest of the staff seemed unmotivated. Wifi didn’t cooperate while we were there and we didn’t have hot water for a couple days. Breakfast was meh

Dear Simone, Thank you for staying with us and taking the time to review us. We appreciate the chance to give feedback on your review; - You did report to us in the evening that you did not had hot water, we had this problem fixed within 12 hours and kept you informed. - No problem with the wifi has been reported and it seemed to work for all other guests?! - Breakfast consists of a 3 course breakfast; seasonal fresh fruit platter, assorted breads served with preserves and an item of your choice of our breakfast menu. Unfortunately to read that you did not enjoy it. What we are wondering about is that you initially booked 1 night, but ended up staying 3 nights -even though your complaints we assume your stay was not that bad at all? Best wishes on behalf of team Mozambeat Motel

Fun & funky with a beach rustic feel
Comfortable, laidback, rustic and funky. It was a fun place to stay with friendly staff. The walk to the main part of town and Tofo beach was 20 minutes, but not difficult & good exercise! Tofino Beach is even more gorgeous & much quieter with only a 8 minute walk away. If you’re looking for a more local feel & safe place to stay, this is the place to be! I stayed in a suite (fans only, no air con) & it was quieter at that end of the property.

Cool Hotel!
Very cool hotel for people who want more than just a place to sleep. Mozambeat has very nice common areas and nice plans organized every night. Only bad thing is that it's a bit far from tofo's center (15-20 mins walking distance). I'd suggest them offering a "taxi service". Anyway, I'd defenitely recommend this place.

Tiene unas buenas instalaciones para poder haber creado un gran hotel, sin embargo, la nula limpieza de las habitaciones y sus baños (bichos por todas partes, mosquitos como en ningún otro sitio de Tofo, almohadas malolientes y con arañas en su interior...), así como una atención poco cercana (a diferencia de todos los demás sitios de Mozambique), hacen que tu estancia se amargue. Aunque se indica en la web, la distancia al centro es otro inconveniente, así como sus múltiples fiestas y cines (a todo volumen) y menús diarios basados en cómo superar tu resaca (parece que estás en Ibiza y no en un país tan increíble como Mozambique). No lo recomiendo a nadie, a menos que tú objetivo del viaje sea emborracharte todos los días.
