Shooting Star to open new suites

Shooting Star Lodge builds 2 stunning new Suites: Kusi and Kaskazi

Construction has started on 2 new suites to be completed by October this year.

Kusi and Kaskazi. The names are taken from the trade winds that pass by each 6 months, Kusi from South and Kaskazi from the North.

The suites are located on the hill over looking the existing Sea View Cottages and are reached via a sandy path through the tropical garden; both are set in private gardens.

Each suite is entered through a pair of fabulous carved Zanzibari doors, and will have simple, but high quality finishes, antique furniture, and will be fully air-conditioned.

The Ground floor will have a huge hallway, which will open up onto a large terraced exterior Verandah with a private swimming pool. Shower and WC are reached from the hallway. Extra beds can be added to enable the hall way to be made into an additional bedroom with either double or twin beds.

The Verandah and pool deck will have dining and lounging areas as well as a kitchen space so that our chefs can prepare meals if required. A fridge will be stocked with drinks and fruit for guests on arrival.

The first floor is reached up a curved staircase reminiscent of our existing Family Cottages and houses the Master bedroom suite. The bedroom itself is some 40sq m and has magnificent panoramic views both up and down the coast. Windows will be shuttered as well as glazed so that those guests who prefer the ocean breeze to the AC can have the option. The 2 m wide bed will be of a traditional Zanzibari style and fitted with batik and cream linen. Large Shower and separate WC are adjoining.

Continuing up the stairs to the roof level, our guests will find the perfect place to relax in the evening, the views from the flat roof will allow them to watch the sun set over the island and rise over the Ocean. Our fantastically starry skies have inspired us to furnish the roof with a fully netted bed so that a night or a nap under the stars can be more than a dream. We are also building a huge bath on the roof for those who enjoy the alfresco touch.


Due to such high occupancy over the last 12 months they have also decided to build 2 day rooms which will be available for guests who require a late check out, each room will have 2 single netted beds for resting and a shower room. They will be furnished simply in the style of our existing rooms. Providing the guests stay for lunch they will not be charged, otherwise a nominal sum will be added to their bill for cleaning and linen etc.

The rooms are located close to reception and will be completed by June this year.
