We had an absolutely amazing experience! What a beautiful home with the perfect location. Even though the weather sadly didn’t play along as hoped, we were blessed with spectacular dolphin shows and endless walks on the beach. We were so warmly welcomed by Jean and Tony, who made us feel right at home and as if we were old friends. We would definitely like to visit again in the future. Thanks Claudia Godwin

The Rafters Villa I Kalk Bay I HotTub I Sea Views

5 out of 5 average rating, 3 reviews2 months ago

This may be my very favorite Airbnb... ever. An absolute amazing piece of property. Views for days. Fantastic outdoor living. Eclectic but not overpowering decor. Perfectly comfortable and cozy and with all the amenities. To add, it's only a few minutes walk outside of Kalk Bay and just up the street from the tidal pool. I can't think of when I've had it better. A definite would repeat.

12 Sleeper Villa within Zimbali Coastal Estate

4.73 out of 5 average rating, 22 reviews1 month ago

We had a fantastic stay at Jennifer's house, which comfortably fit our big group of friends. The ocean views were stunning, and the spacious accommodation were ideal for our getaway. Just a tip: having a car on hand is a must, as the estate is quite large and getting e-hailing cars to enter the estate can be challenge.

Villa Zen-Tranquil oasis Tofinho

5 out of 5 average rating, 16 reviews6 months ago

I cannot overstate how incredible this house is. The entire property is immaculate and beautiful from the large to the small details. It is obvious that care and detail went into every design and furnishing decision. Contrary to most Airbnb listings things were actually BETTER than the photos led me to believe. From the pool, to the kitchen, to the peaceful upstairs veranda with the comfortable couch for a sundowner, the entire place radiates peace and rest. I cannot image staying anywhere else in Tofo after this. Everything else just pales in comparison. Thank you to the entire team, Sérgio, Casey, Jorge, and Isabel for this space where my family can find rest from the stressful work we do in Maputo. We will be back!

It is so beautiful at Pringle Bay. The area is quiet and the views are amazing. We were fortunate to see dolphins and even a seal. The accommodation is great and the check in was easy and smooth. The house is large and roomy, with comfortable furniture and everything that you need. The indoor swimming pool was great and made it extra special for our family. We enjoyed our time and stay!
