Onsea House was the first place that we stayed at the beginning of a week long safari in Tanzania and then a few days in Zanzibar. We were a family traveling with twins, 14yrs. old, and the children and my husband and I each had our own, connecting rooms in the newer part of the property. The rooms were perfect,... More

We stayed at Onsea House in the middle of a 2-week Africa trip that started with an eight-day climb of Mt. Kili, and afterwards we went on to a Serengeti safari. Onsea House was BY FAR the best lodging we stayed in and I include the all-famous Giraffe Manor in Nairobi which was a major disappointment next to Onsea. We... More

After climbing Mt Kilimanjaro, my husband and I spent 2 nights at Onsea House recovering from the experience. Driving from the mountain through Arusha to this slice of heaven is such an exotic adventure and it left our imaginations running wild with what to possibly expect for our hotel accommodations.

The staff was warm and welcoming. We were too tired to eat much at night upon arrival but enjoyed breakfast on the lovely... More

We stayed there 2 nites as we began our safari experience, and then one more night as we finished to come back to the U.S. it is a bit... More

Amazing hotel set in the beautiful farming area of Arusha. A beautiful hotel which most definately caters for the traveler wanting the personal, boutique style feel. The owners are very welcoming and the food outstanding. One of the owners trained in a michellin star restaurant and the quality of the food/service reflects this. The rooms have an understated European elegance... More

I was torn on this hotel rating. it really is a 4.5. You can not go wrong with this place. The family involved in running it are very nice and helpful. The property is great. Food was superb. The pool could be a bit more inviting with some sun loungers set up with umbrellas all day. We visited the arusha... More
