Well, what a little gem! A real little paradise indeed. Down a long drive, is the boutique hotel Shooting Star Lodge. 2 infinity pools, one we had to ourselves for... read more 2 or 3 days, overlooking the Indian ocean. En suite with walk in shower, coconut and lime toiletries, clean white sheets, and plenty of towels for the room, and also for the pool. Plenty of choice for meals in the restaurant, and also for lunch in the beach bar. Buffet breakfast with continental and cooked choices. Wilson at front of house, and all the staff, whose names I can't remember, other than Martha, were well presented, polite, friendly, and approachable, nothing was too much trouble. Spa on site offering massages and beauty treatments, easily booked at reception. Ideal for couples to forget the stresses of modern life, and simply recharge their batteries. A great getaway after a Safari in the Nyerere National Park.
Would thoroughly recommend.

  Thanks for five amazing days in this beautiful lodge. From the beginning to the end everything was perfect. We really enjoyed the time. Shooting star lodge is a lovely, luxury... read more and beautiful place where you start relaxing after entering. Super calm and perfect for a time off with its two big infinity pools and own part of the beach. It almost feels like having this place just for oursefs because of the many cute little hides, like the swing, where you perfectly can watch sunrises. The food was really good as well. Tamo sana! But this beautiful place wouldnt be so beautiful without all the lovely staff, making our stay from the beginning to the end as amazing as it was.
Asante sana!!

  Beautiful holiday in this quiet and comfortable boutique hotel. Because of Covid it was quiet, and there were few guests. A minimal staff was attentive and friendly Breakfast was wonderful... read more and the fruit & juice was fresh and delicious. The chef made really good and flavorful dinners. Clean room & lovely property. Bring water shoes for walks north of the hotel on the remarkable beach where evidence of prehistoric life remains in lava. Great cocktails, too. For a low key vacation I highly recommend!
