There are two terraces in the garden, one swimming pool and you have direct access to the beach. The house itself has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, one living room and dining room as well as a large balcony. Furthermore, there is a large fully- equipped kitchen and a garage. We are looking forward to welcome you! My family built this very nice villa at the end of the 90s. We spent a lot of wonderful holidays here together. In recent times we could not travel to Zanzibar that much, so we decided to open this dream villa for you and your holiday! The house will be rented out exclusively for you, so there will be no other guests during the time of your stay. The villa is located approx. 8km south of Stone Town Zanzibar in the chukwani area, a little off the main road. The house is in quiet surroundings on a plot directly at the beach. In the spacious garden you will find two terraces, one swimming pool and a gate with direct access to the beach. The rental income helps us to maintain this house and the garden. Your booking also helps to secure jobs and the income to four local families and assignments with local service companies. There is a caretaker’s house on the plot, hidden by a small hedge. The caretaker is responsible for the cleaning of the pool and the gardening. The villa itself has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a spacious living and dining room. There is also a large balcony on the first floor. Furthermore, you have a large fully- equipped kitchen including fridge and freezer, oven, microwave, and electric stove. There is an AC in the upper three Bedrooms. There is a garage which can be used for your rental car if you have one. The house is completely self-designed by my parents and my sisters, who used only good materials for the construction and the interiors. The pool is not heated but always has a nice comfy temperature around 25 degrees Celsius. The pool has a depth of 1,5 m. Children must be able to swim and can only use the pool when the parents are around to take a look. At the edge of the garden, you have the chance to watch beautiful sunsets from our ocean view terrace. The house is rented exclusivly. There are no other guests in the house during your stay. We have a caretaker living on the same plot with his family. His house is right next to our house but they leave the guests their privacy. The pool is not totaly hidden (as you can see on the pictures) but no one else will share it with our guests during their stay. Please note that the "Villa Heidi" is a holiday home not a hotel or guest house. This means that our guests prepare their own meals. Please make sure you provide yourself with water, drinks and food. The house is reserved for you only. There are no other guests in the house during the time of your stay! The following services are included in the rent: electricity, gardening, pool maintenance, round-the-clock contact person at hand.

Great staff! ##### Bo M. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025 Archival ### 10/10 Excellent 8 Sept 2010 #### Great peaceful spot. My family and I had a relaxing time at Villa Heidi in August 2010\. The manager, caretaker and maid were very warm and welcoming. The Villa itself is beautiful and spacious with 3 double bedrooms upstairs and 1 doube bedroom downstairs. The villa also has 3 big bathrooms (one downstairs). The swimming pool is about 5 feet deep all the way across but is kept clean by the caretaker. They were all very happy to help with anything. The Villa is about 8 km from Stone Town. While we were there it cost about $10 for a taxi into Stone Town. The beach is easily accesible via a gate at the end of the garden. The beach itself is not entirely sandy but when the tide is in you can swim. Thee are local fisherman that go out fishing everyday and from whom you can buy some seafood. The villa is self catering but has all the cooking facilities and utensils. The maid comes in and cleans the house everyday. If you are looking for a quiet holiday with some beautiful surroundings you cannot go wrong with Villa Heidi. The villa overlooks the sea and in the evening you can sit in the hut at the end of the garden and see the beautiful sunset. ---
