Utupoa Lodge, Sultani bedroom

The ensuite Sultani bedroom has 2 separate Zanzibari beds that have been put together and echoes of an era of past Swahili grandeur. Although it is upstairs in Nyumba Safi, we always invite our guests to feel at home in both our houses. The space Nyumba Safi stands on the site where we first built a small two room hut to sleep in as we watched Nyumba Kubwa grow. Before our eldest daughter's wedding, which took place on the beach in front of Utupoa, we renovated the place to make space for the groom's family. We called it Nyumba Safi, which sort of translates to 'The Fancy House', because, well, in-laws. The name stuck, and we are now delighted to share the house with you. During your stay As our guests at Utupoa, we invite you also to use our home as your own and, in particular, to join us for breakfast and any other meals, especially dinner at our famous table. Joyce will be around to advise you about transport and tours and anything else you might need to know about the island.
