Jahazi – Shared Bungalow

At Pemba Lodge, we offer a unique shared bungalow named Jahazi, which translates to “dhow” in English. Jahazi features four bedrooms spread across two floors and boasts its own private beachfront location, situated apart from the main bungalows along the shoreline.

Jahazi is generously spacious, covering over 75 square meters. Crafted from palm and thatch materials, it retains an authentic Zanzibari appearance. Elevated on stilts, about a meter off the ground, this design helps maintain a cool and breezy atmosphere. On the first floor, there’s a go-to balcony for relaxation with excellent views.

The ground floor offers a large veranda adorned with a hammock and comfortable furniture, creating a perfect spot for afternoon relaxation.

Inside each room within Jahazi, you’ll discover a four-poster bed, complete with mosquito netting for your comfort. Each room also features a sofa, a substantial desk with a chair, and an attractive bookshelf. All the furniture is handcrafted from reclaimed dhow wood, known for its durability and robustness. The walls are adorned with woven palm leaves, and the floors are fashioned from dark wood, contributing to a naturally cool ambiance.

Adding character and individuality, you’ll find colorful kangas, woven mats, and unique wall decorations. For your convenience, each room is equipped with a secure safe and a full-length mirror.

A wooden door separates the bedroom from the en-suite bathroom, which includes a hot shower and eco toilet (no water usage). Although there are four rooms in the building, a shared toilet facility is available for all guests. Rest assured, this toilet is well-maintained and regularly cleaned to ensure the comfort of all our guests.
