    Spending Christmas at this hidden gem was an unforgettable experience! The cozy and welcoming atmosphere made us feel right at home. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that we had a memorable stay. They organized a driver for us, who took us on a thrilling adventure along dirt tracks, adding to the excitement of our trip. The living room area with comfortable armchairs and couches, overlooking the open lawn, was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The hot showers in the clean and cozy rooms provided much-needed comfort after a long day of exploring.

    There was honestly nothing to dislike about our stay at this wonderful hotel. The attentive staff, cozy atmosphere, and delicious food made for an incredible Christmas experience.

    The hotel is nestled by a lush garden, providing a peaceful escape from the busy streets. It is conveniently located close to the many parks, making it ideal for nature lovers. the town center is easily accessible for morning meetings. the rooms are cozy and the staff is welcoming and accommodating. the delicious food, prepared by talented chefs, is a delight. the breakfast is excellent and the view from the lounge room is stunning.

    The internet connection can be weak, but this is a minor inconvenience in such a tranquil setting.

    We had a wonderful two-night stay at a charming lodge just outside the city. The room was comfortable and the surrounding garden was beautiful, filled with the sounds of exotic birds in the morning. The staff was polite and accommodating, especially Eddie. Although the location was a bit far from the city center, it provided a quiet and relaxing atmosphere. The breakfast was delicious and the Wi-Fi access was reliable. I highly recommend this hotel for a peaceful and enjoyable stay.

    The room I stayed in at The Researchers Rest was amazing! It had a super comfortable Super King Bed and a single bed, perfect for a solo traveler like me. The ensuite bathroom was a great plus too. I felt like I was sleeping on a cloud.

    Although the room was fantastic, the private bathroom was not ensuite. But hey, that's just my personal preference.

    The Researchers Rest is a cozy and peaceful lodge situated in a quiet area on the outskirts of town. It offers a tranquil atmosphere, away from the busy streets of Arusha. the lush garden adds to the serenity of the place, providing a relaxing space to unwind and enjoy the surroundings. the staff is friendly and welcoming, making guests feel right at home. the rooms are comfortable, and the food served is both delicious and varied, ensuring a pleasant dining experience.

    The access road to the lodge can be quite rough, making it necessary to have a 4x4 vehicle for a smooth arrival and departure.
