The property features pool and garden views, and is 600 metres from Kendwa Beach. The bed and breakfast offers a sun terrace, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi is available throughout the property. I stayed in this hotel for almost 2 weeks and had an amazing experience. Everything was perfect! The room was very comfortable and beautiful. The staff was very attentive and nice, and thanks a lot to Elizabeth, she always helped me if I had any problems or questions! She even took me to Nungwi village to the shop when I lost my charger and had to buy a new one :) And they serve the best breakfast - fresh juice, coffee/tea, a plate of fruits, pancakes, eggs in different variations, avocado toast, yoghurt and so on. Everything was delicious and I always was so full after breakfast. The location was perfect too, it takes around 7 mins to get to the beach. I would highly recommend this place for your vacation! And would definitely come back again :)

At the bed and breakfast, rooms are equipped with a wardrobe. Rooms are complete with a private bathroom, while certain rooms at White Dream also have a balcony.

A continental breakfast is served every morning at the property. Our stay at White Dream was truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived, Gloria welcomed us with such warmth and kindness that we instantly felt at home. Gloria truly made a difference in our stay—kind, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. The hotel had just been renovated, so everything—from the room to the common areas—was immaculately clean and fresh. Our beachfront room allowed us to step directly onto the sand, which was an amazing experience. The food was also a huge highlight—the pizza was hands down one of the best I have ever had (yes, even compared to Italy), and the tuna steak was perfectly fresh and delicious. The staff were consistently cheerful and friendly, especially Emanuel at the bar. The pool was clean and great to jump into during tide hours, and the beach area was calm, with minimal interruption from beach vendors. It was the perfect peaceful escape we were looking for.

The retreat is tastefully designed, with a lush garden and cozy spaces that make you feel relaxed from the moment you arrive.
