The house is so posh and relaxing, online bookings are fast, responses from front desk is fast. the hotel is located outside but near the town under cool environments. you can see mount meru. spa services are glamorous. Nice place for retreat due to quieter environments

Dirk was incredibly helpful and planned out a safari for us with recommendations of where to stay even. We couldn't have asked for a better trip to the Ngorongoro crater. It's so hard planning trips when you don't know anything about the area and Dirk was a godsent! Wish we could have spent more time at Onsea enjoying the grounds... More

The hospitality, the setting, the dining, the landscaping, the architecture,...all excellent. Stayed there in February 2013 pre and post Kilimanjaro climb and will be on my mind until I schedule another Kili climb or a safari. Looking forward to a longer visit next time. Simply a wonderful hotel.

A friendly, attractive and charming little inn, with a very ambitious kitchen, Onsea House is a perfect place to stay before or after the rigors of a safari or a long plane trip. Axel, the Belgian owner/chef is a dedicated, talented cook who excels at the difficult task of running a serious restaurant in a setting remote from the normal... More

i can not recommend this hotel enough ... the rooms were super, but what made this experience so great was the exceptional food and wine. The chef is french ... so the food was exceptional, and the great selection of wine is kept in a proper wine cellar. Thank you Axel and team for such a great experience.

Onsea House is a true gem in the heart of Africa. Having stayed there in 2012 and 2013, I would class this as one of my favourite hotels in the world. A true luxury in the centre of Africa. Not to mention Axel, the amazing master of all things you can eat, bringing passion and love to the taste buds.

Recently we spent time at Onsea House-first resting for 2 nights after our long plane trip--and before starting our safari, and then, spending time in the day room prior to boarding the plane home. We really enjoyed this place. The rooms are large and included, in addition to the sleeping area, a dining area with stocked refrigerator, and a bathroom-shower... More

This is a great place to recover from a long airplane trip or preparation for a long trip. Modern spacious rooms, wonderful forceful showers, very friendly folks, and a good restaurant with outdoor deck and view combine for a really good place in an out of the way place called Arusha. It is somewhere between four and five stars, but... More

Every year I come to Tanzania looking forward to many things but Onsea House has become one of the aspects of our annual trips that I look forward to most. Axel's food is world class and the service is so warm an inviting; a must-have if you have just climbed Kilimanjaro!
