- "Amazing property, excellent location and great value for money. The customer service from Max and Kate from start to finish was first class. Thank you for making our stay so perfect. Hoping to return soon." - "Cost-effective Business Off-Site I booked this for our company off-site. Easy access from London, and a fantastic location when we arrived. All 8 of us had our own bedroom and bathroom. The dining room is perfect for meetings. The lounge is comfortable in the evenings. And the pizza place next door is excellent. There is a well-stocked convenience store less than 50m away too. The property has an excellent kitchen. Also an easy-to-use projector and screen (perfect for presentations). We all loved Zanzibar and we've already booked to go back in 6 months' time."
