Loved history of the place - great time capsule. Quiet and safe location. Staff lovely and makes beautiful three-course meals. Took us to airport in middle of the night - very accommodating.
Rough roads (worst I have seen in Africa) to get to property.

The food is fantastic and the space is the definition of cozy. We arrived quite late and were still attended to like family. We were the only guests which was a treat since this place is usually fully booked so that was special.
The wifi was unstable however, the living area was so inviting to play games and read that we didn't feel like we needed it. But if someone wanted to do some more digital work, this would be an issue.

The roads to the location were not paved which meant a very bumpy ride, but once there we enjoyed the place.
Everyone was helpful (staff). Food was delicious and rooms had a historical ambience.

We have stayed in Arusha many times and were so grateful to find this little gem. We were looking for somewhere quiet, safe and spacious for my five year old to run around and this was just perfect. The staff were so kind and helpful and we really felt at home. The house has been thoughtfully decorated and a short taxi ride to the centre of town. There are tasty hot and cold options for breakfast and an option to order lunch or dinner, which we enjoyed as a special treat one evening. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again next time I’m in Arusha and if I could take Researcher’s Rest and the wonderful team with me wherever I travelled to in the world, I would!! They really made our stay homely and welcoming.
Loved everything.

Home away from home-feeling! Relaxed, small, no luxery but safe and personal. Perfect for us, three generations.

I was worried on the way there because the neighbourhood didnt look promising, but once we got there I realized why this place has good rates. Food was really good, staff is very professional and kind. House and garden are peaceful. They did our laundry. I couldn't recommend this place more.
The road to get there was awful.

We loved the homey feel of the common rooms- the living and dining rooms were so comfortable and conducive to conversation. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The meals were uniformly excellent.
The road to Researchers is a challenge to navigate when it rains.

Cozy atmosphere, the beautiful garden out the back and comfortable sitting room. The dinner and breakfast were incredible.
Definitely driving there. The roads are really bad and the Google maps takes you in a roundabout way so definitely contact them to get more accurate directions!

The property was very well kept and relaxing. I appreciated the well done garden space and viewing area from the living room. The staff was also very generous and accommodating. This is definitely a great location for couples to relax either before or after their safari. I would definitely stay here again!
Very hard to get to due to the poor road conditions. I recommend a high clearance vehicle.

Although off the beaten track and difficult to find, it was truly a lovely oasis. The staff were attentive and helpful and I was made to feel at home. The breakfast was fantastic!
It took well over an hour for my taxi driver to find the place. maps let us down and no one seemed to know where it was. I was so late that my friend had to cancel our dinner plans.
