Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The Overhang is an excellent staycation or workation spot. Located in the outskirts of Dar-Es-Salaam it offers a quiet place with beautiful ambience for unwinding and relaxing. The resort's culinary offerings are praiseworthy esp the breakfast menu and the sea food platter are mouthwatering. Moreover, the attentive and friendly staff go above and beyond to provide personalized service, ensuring that we felt valued and well-cared for throughout our stay. The combination of outstanding food and impeccable service created a truly unforgettable experience.

Très agréable séjour
Magnifique environnement, nous avons particulièrement apprécié l'espace entre chaque cabane. Grande terrasse, literie très confortable, cabane très bien équipée avec une vue somptueuse. Les restaurant sous les arbres dont un magnifique baobab et surplombant la plage est top. La carte n'est pas très fournie, mais la nourriture est bien faite et bonne. Personnel adorable, un plus pour Baraka notre si gentil serveur et pour Zacharia le cuisinier.
