The Seaview Lodge Rooms at Mchanga Beach Lodge are built in a staggered row – and have the same cost as the Garden Suites. In each of the two rows, which sit on each side of the central sandy pathway and garden, there are three rooms. The rooms are positioned cleverly, so though they are in a row – when you sit on your sandy terrace you will not be right next to your neighbour.

Each Lodge room at Mchanga has a small terrace with a pair of chairs and a table. Behind this are the doors – which have been built like stable doors and so can be left half-open, or entirely open or closed. The doors are also slatted and so you can let a cool breeze pass into the rooms, or close them up completely for more privacy.

The rooms are thoughtfully put together - the sheets are pure percale cotton, and there is a basket where you will find a beach towel. There is bottled water for you to drink, and a cushioned alcove acts as a small lounge area. There is also a locally-made wardrobe where you can hang your clothes, air-conditioning and a fan.

Each room at Mchanga Beach Lodge has white-washed walls and polished stone floors, with a very high ceiling. They feel bright, spacious clean and cool. Hand-made Zanzibari beds, locally made paintings and brightly coloured fabrics make the rooms feel traditional. Yet the lack of clutter and crisp lines in the architecture add a minimalist feel.

The en-suite flush-toilet is behind a wooden door to one side of the bed. Behind the other side of the bed is a separate shower area with a white ceramic sink set into the moulded stone surface, and a really powerful hot-and-cold shower.
