Make your family get-together & special occasion memorable by renting the award-winning 'Zanzibar'. Comfortably accommodate up-to 16 adults & 2 children in 8 luxurious ensuite bedrooms. The reception rooms and main bedrooms offer plenty of space & exceptional sea views. We specialise in staycations, family gatherings, big birthdays & noteworthy wedding anniversaries. Zanzibar is a house that caters perfectly for all generations and turns life's important moments into unforgettable experiences. Very large, well-equipped house on the sea front of St Leonards On Sea, that provides lots of space for everyone and caters well for all ages. The bedrooms are spotlessly clean and maintained to a high standard. There are 2 parking spaces for your use in a secure car park nearby and there is further free, unrestricted on-street parking in ‘Warrior square’ (approx. 100m from the house). There is high-speed wi-fi coverage throughout the house and Netflix in all the bedrooms. 'Zanzibar' is located 30 metres from the beach and benefits from having its own website ('Zanzibar House Hastings'). Exit the house in either direction and you have miles of wide flat promenade along the top of the beach; ideal for walking, running, scooting or cycling. The Pubs, restaurants, cafes, bakeries, take-aways, convenience stores and antique shops of St Leonards are all within easy reach. The cobbled streets and funicular railways of the historic old part of town are a 20-minute walk away. These give way to the Protected Hastings Country Park - essentially an extension to the nearby South Downs – offering cliff-top walks and stunning views all the way to the quaint Medieval village of Rye some 12 miles away. The Blue Reef Aquarium, the Hastings Contemporary art gallery, the fishermen’s museum and the characterful tall black net huts are all situated in the old part of Hastings, not to mention amusement arcades, fish ‘n’ chips, live music, crazy golf and the boating lake. The White Rock Theatre and Hastings Pier are less than 5 minutes’ walk away to the East. Head West from the house and the Art Deco De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill is reachable within a couple of hours (walking). Grand, atmospheric reception rooms provide the perfect setting for your big occasion and turn the ground floor into the heart of the house. The dining table comfortably seats 14 / 16 and there is an additional small table that seats another 3 or 4 within easy reach. The fully-fitted kitchen is well-equipped and opens-up (via bi-fold doors) to a covered area of garden at one end, and the dining room at the other. There's a hot tub in the garden to keep the kids (and adults) entertained. The dining room seats up to 18 people and the main dining table leads to the cosy lounge with an array of comfortable seating, sea views, its own bar, a Sage (bean to cup) coffee machine and large screen TV & Bluray DVD. There is a well-stocked DVD library for your use. Jigsaw puzzles & board games are available for lazy evenings in. As a holiday house, the former boutique hotel promises a special experience for family get-togethers, friends' reunions, noteworthy occasions, wedding anniversaries and big birthdays. The all-ensuite bedrooms offer space and privacy when needed while the open-plan reception areas allow for everyone to come together for evening cocktails, fabulous meals, and late-night film viewing. Despite its coveted location opposite the beach, it's worth noting that Zanzibar is situated in a heavily residential area. Whilst we are happy to host big occasions, we are not able to hold big events, stag / hen do's or noisy parties. Dogs are permitted (by prior agreement) with an additional £50 cleaning fee and we ask that their access is limited to the ground floor and just 1 of the bedrooms (if possible). For more information or to book directly with us, find our website at 'Zanzibar House Hastings'. Guests have exclusive use of the entire building. Bedrooms are situated on the upper floors. The lounge, kitchen, dining room and garden are situated on the ground floor. The house is situated on the long, flat elegant promenade of St Leonards On Sea. There are excellent walks in both directions and bus stops in both directions within 100m of the house. Safe, well-lit, sea-front location opposite the beach and near to restaurants, cafes, bars and shops, in popular area. Pretty much everything is within walking distance once you're here. There are also good public transport links around Hastings and St Leonards. The bus stop is 100m from the house. There are regular direct train links to Ashford international, Brighton and London, as well as day-out-destinations such as historic Battle and Rye. PARKING: We have 2 spaces in a secure car park near-by (approx 150m from the house). In addition to these, there is a good amount of unrestricted on-street parking on Warrior Square (approx 100m from the house) and on the hills behind the house (Church road etc).
