“Beautiful old house that has been restored perfectly to have everything you need.”
Beautiful restored house in the centre of Bagamoyo. The outside covered terrace area was perfect for working during the day and relaxing in the evening.

“Historic and characterful.”
Ella's Swahili House was a great place to be based in Bagamoyo. The house is of historic significance and has fantastic character. It is within a few minutes walk of great restaurants (Nashe's Cafe, Poa Poa, Firefly) and sights to see. Jackie, housemaid, is very helpful.
