The small and welcoming Flame Tree offers unfussy and thoughtfully furnished rooms in cottages surrounded by beautiful flowering gardens. It's at the quieter end of Nungwi's west beach, and is a perfect spot for families. There's a swimming pool, and evening meals are served on a patio overlooking the beach.
