Cottages in Moshi

A Magical Experience with the Chagga Tribe This was our favourite place to stay out of all six hotels during our three-week trip — and for good reason. The views of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru are absolutely breathtaking, and the staff are just incredible. Nothing was too much trouble, and their warm, welcoming nature made us feel right at home. Before our arrival, we had a lot of questions, and the communication beforehand was excellent — quick, clear, and very informative. They gave such a good first impression, and we could tell it was going to be a great stay thanks to how attentive they were even before we arrived. They also arranged our onward taxi to the airport in a very nice, comfortable car, making our journey stress-free from start to finish. The home-cooked food was delicious, everything was spotless, and the beds were wonderfully comfortable. We’ll be recommending Materuni Homes to all our family and friends. We especially loved spending time with the Chagga tribe, particularly Sylvester, who looked after our every need during our stay. He was brilliant with our 7-year-old son and made us all feel relaxed in his company. Unlike the Maasai, the Chagga tribe may not wear traditional dress daily, but they keep their ancient customs and culture alive in beautiful ways. They welcomed us into their village with open arms, sharing breathtaking mountain views, mouthwatering local dishes, and the stunning Materuni Waterfall. One highlight was the “tree-to-cup” coffee experience — they guided us through every step, showing how singing together makes the hard work lighter and more joyful. Their warmth, humour, and strong sense of community made it an experience we’ll never forget… and yes, the coffee was absolutely delicious 😋 A heartfelt thank you to Sylvester and the whole team at Materuni Homes for making our stay so memorable. You made us feel part of your family, and we’ll carry those memories with us always.

Very quiet and nice place, just to get some rest between activities (in our case between Mt Meru and Kilimanjaro treks).

The towels were very clean as well as the sheets

When we arrived we where greeted by Catherine and Muxin they welcomed us with open arms. We had a long conversation of their vision of the accomodation. They want to take good care ofthe environment and stay small and personal. They want to know their guests. They showed us our room and it was more than amazing. Definitly worth booking, if you want to see the kili from your bed or bath. Kind regards Anne & Jeroen from The Netherlands
