The kitchen includes a fridge, freezer, washing machine, and oven, cutlery, pots, plates, and glasses. Free WIFI is available throughout the hotel. The hotel is Eco-friendly and small-scale with only 19 rooms.

“Zanzibar Magic Boutique Hotel strikes me as a solid choice if Matemwe's relative isolation suits your travel style, its smaller size fostering a more intimate experience. I appreciate that they've leaned into the local aesthetic, incorporating Zanzibari design elements and materials plus, it's right on the beach. If you are prepared to mostly relax on the beach or by the pool, it's a beautiful setting.”
