Onsea House
Arusha, Tanzania
About This Property
The Experience
Onsea House is a small, Belgian family-run guesthouse on a hilltop off Baraa Road on the outskirts of Arusha, with views across the Meru valley. Rooms in the main house and a separate guest cottage have four-poster beds and en-suite bathrooms, and sit in landscaped tropical gardens around a floodlit swimming pool. Many guests come for the food: the Machweo restaurant, led by a Belgian chef with Michelin-kitchen experience, blends European cooking with Tanzanian ingredients. The adjoining Machweo Wellness Retreat adds spa treatments. Arusha town is about 15 minutes away and Kilimanjaro International Airport roughly 40 minutes.
