Our stay at EBENDE VILLA was very comfortable, safe and quiet beautiful! The grounds are very well kept and the house and amenities are as advertised. The staff are very helpful and the property manager will go above and beyond to make sure your needs are met. The property is very far out however, and the roads are very poor and remote to say the least. They will set up transportation for you but keep in mind travel time from the Villa when setting up your excursions.

Pleasant stay!

The villa and the service with private guards was amazing. The host was very helpful through WhatsApp, and made sure we had a good time. But, we did not know that there was two houses on the property we thought that it was only one villa. Although we did not share the property with someone else since the other house was not booked this would have been nice to know. From the main road there is a 10-15 minute drive through a bumpy road. Although this is not more than 2-3 km it takes quit some time. The villa is located in Michamvi which is a 20-30 minute drive away from Paje. We travelled to Paje for restaurants, shops and etc., since there are not many good shops or restaurants in Michamvi. The Villa was very clean and the maids came to clean the Villa every three days. The cleaning could be faster or reduced to once a week. The guards was amazing! Smiled and took care of us!
